Essays
Below
are the essays I wrote last year (2000) when I studied English (1-20p)
at Kristianstad Högskola.
The
ten essays relate in various ways to the ten books that I was to read during
the course in literature.
NB!
The
grammar is not entirely correct.
I
got the highest mark for both the grammar and the analyses of the books,
but
the faults I anyway had are not yet (and might not ever be) corrected.
