I'm sorry but what the hell? Do you have anything to back that up with, otherwise it sounds like a load of bullshit.We've done Plath's poems in enx1, though I haven't read her novel, 'The Bell Jar'. Apparently some schools read it in year ten? It's supposed to be like The Catcher in the Rye. A word of warning though, Plath is a maniac. Her poetry provokes nightmares and increases enx1 student suicide rates. Not sure about the novel though, give it a go.
The Bell Jar is interesting. It was a "thing" to read that at my school in about year 10 or 11. I think it's well written but the many negative stereotypes of Sylvia seem to add a prejudice to her work that I don't think is quite fair to her.
Oh and someone mentioned "We Need to Talk About Kevin". I totally second that. Loved it.
