Hey Polina, just wanted to say thanks for all you’ve done, everything from your advice to your videos have all helped me achieve an A in my igcse literature exam.

I loved that book so much ♥

Great review! I’m a huge fan of Ogawa and I will read this immediately.

I appreciate your ability to help us see elements of the play that we might have missed.. I also think your wallpaper rocks!

Found this vidoe after stuggling to undestand Othello for A-level summer work, this is a life saver tysm!

I plan on taking English literature next year and everyone keeps talking about how difficult it can be since its not our first language but seriously this video comforted me so much and made me believe that I can do it. I deeply love English in general. so if you see this you can do it!! thank so much for your advice and ill be back for more this year 🩷🩷

I think your argument is a bit flawed, as you just assume that liberals are "better" than conservatives, that it's only conservatives who ban books, that liberals have more empathy than conservatives. I consider myself somewhere in the middle of the road politically, so I get especially frustrated with "us/them" talk, especially when it's under the guise of supposedly being open to other worldviews. If you can't empathize with a politically conservative person from your own country/culture, how do you expect to empathize with people from drastically different backgrounds whose political beliefs might be even more reprehensible to you? You also conflate book "bans" with other forms of censorship. A true book ban is when a person is not able to even purchase a book for themselves if they so choose. The most banned book ever is, in fact, the Bible. Requiring books in public schools to be generally appropriate for *all* the children there is not book banning. Parents can buy books for their kids that they want them to have, or they can get them from a public library. But having it in a public school, or specifically *teaching* material that is constantly being challenged by the parents of many kids is unnecessary and does more harm than good. I enjoyed watching your video just the same, and have subscribed! 😁

Great review. I am just shy of half way into Enter Ghost. I am not really enjoying the novel but your views have spurred me on. I agree Sonia isn't the most interesting character. She is not from my world but I am suffiently interested in the politics of Israel/Palestine to continue reading and your questions certainly adds food for thought.

ohhh you have me sold!!! deffo reading this soon the way you described this novel is so captivating and i cant wait to get into it

Book really shook me,many times while reading i just forgot that these are words not real people.

Is this a poem or a narrative?

Thank you 😊

It is quite funny, how the threats are made and she has been cursed, and then if you sleep with me, all this is for nothing. Everything is forgiven.

so helpful, bless you thank you!!

love the dracula summary series and hamlet series. By any chance are you able to do Oedipus?

brilliant work! I have read some continental philosophy mostly around epistemology and ethics such as Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche. I never got an opportunity to read the french philosphers especially Simone de Beauvoir. I encountered Philosophers of Science citing Beauvoir's Second Sex and I always wanted to read the whole book. Watching your video has just made me wanna buy the book as soon as I can :)). I am especially interested in the women empowerment movement happening in the Soviet Union, and Beauvoir's critic on it. I think this will be a great read indeed. As a feminist I believe this book is of a paramount importance for us.

What an excellent, comprehensive review!

Almost all of the information is absolutely wasted because of the verbal galloping. Next time you make a video, please make sure you have enough time, so you can speak SLOWLY.

Just got a book of poem from John Donne and this is the first poem I read. Thanks I understand it a bit better bc of your analysis!

Please make a precise video. Even though it is a lot informative, it's too long.

Dracula has massacred Muslims and empalled them brutally and cruelly

Been to witby several times and last time I was there was because of a tour organised by my university lecturer on the novel.never new you could stay in the Dracula guest house bram stocker

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for your help last year. I was failing literature and your videos helped so much. I got an A star and 93 percent!!!. Thank you. Hope you having a good life and everything is ok. Thanks

I listened to this review at least a few times while working on my screen. You covered it so well! I would have never considered reading this book if it were not for your persuasive eloquence with your articulation. You have a way of manifesting the emotions and bringing them to the surface, contained within their context. There is no way to escape them except to surreally experience them. How you introduced what the author means by "Enter Ghost" hit me. And mind you, so aptly timed. Thanks, Polina! Don't stop.

"Ay shan't be the first nor last, but at last a beauty with brains at my sight". 😊.

this is exactly what i needed wtf

Great review ❤

Got poetry tomorrow these videos are giving me so many more ideas to talk about ty :)

fantastic work thank you , this poem made me shed a few tears

wow thanks

THANK U SO MUCH I couldn’t understand this poem for the life of me u saved me :)

really confusing analysis here - i feel as though you're extrapolating a lot from the poem i.e the wife seems to have been dead the whole time, i don't get why you're so convinced the hireling might've had an affair with her. just giving a bit of advice as some a level students watching may be getting the wrong idea about the poem from you

Поздравляю с преодолением отметки 6тыс.❤

you're a lifesaver

A really impressive review which expressed many of my feelings related to the book

Can students who are not from england or gcse based(igcse based)can also follow you?

thank you soooooooo much :)

you are saving my grade
