Comment from : @lezbienism

My comment is 4 years after your final year "senior citizen", but it's still worth expressing my gratitude of you sharing your experience during your literature study I feel there's going to be way too many books to read so I'm glad you discussed this topic I look forward to listening to your presentations as I begin my own dive in the world of English Thank you Robin! 🙏👏

Coming up with a strange interpretation and being able to back it up with enough evidence is the only thing I love of this major
Comment from : @lovethyself2878

I have a bachelor’s degree in engineering from almost 44 years ago Due to an odd sequence of events, I only took one humanities class and I took it in my last quarter Although I have always loved reading fiction, I struggled with my literature class All the these years later I still have no idea what the study is literature is I am baffled why anyone would study such a topic Give me differential equations any day

I want to study literature at a university in california but i am a devout orthodox christian and i dont want to have teachers shoving gender politics down my throat Is that easily avoidable as a english major? or do they try an indoctrinate you?

Comment from : @kennychan7355

Thank you for the warning that we must take care of our bodies in order for my minds to work I haven't been keeping a bedtime or exercising lately Now I remember why I feel so lethargic
Comment from : @ambina2

Here is a secret about literature It all can be summed up in a page Knowing that -- why do books and novels exceed 100 pages? In my estimation 100 pages is all you really need to say what you want As for 500 and 1000 page works -- that is an examination You have to know reading that many pages is a test So pick your courses As for your take on literature (read a couple of books really well) my "really well" book choice in my program was "Don Quixote" I read 400 plus pages and kept coming back to it and now realize why My fight did not end after turning the last pagebrbr🍎
Comment from : @Misserbi

Comment from : @dumbkirk

If you read 2 out of 10 of the assigned novels, you will have a 2 out of 10 chance of ever graduating When a professor devotes an exam to a novel you didn't read, you will be deciding on a new major This is bad advice And yes - I have a degree in English literature
Comment from : @nlhpens

I'm doing my masters in English literature currently and I've lost the passion to study this subject But it's too late to change so I'm trying to revive that love I had for English years ago :)

Hello, I got my associate of arts degree in English and I am pursuing my bachelor's degree in English literature and looking into getting a Master's in English Literature afterwards what is the highest math class required for a Master's in English Literature?? (I hate math)
Comment from : @juxtapositionofsouls

To be fair, my main concern for university is the money and the living situation I’d love to study in the Netherlands, but living in any university city is expensive and rare and if I’m in a country I don’t even speak the language of, how am I going to get a job!? I’m terrified of just not being able to cover the costs of university, a space to live, books and food and everything!
Comment from : @morganmeadowes6861

better tip perhaps from someone who did a PhD in English: take classes from profs who come highly recommended I made the mistake a couple of times of taking a course because I was supercurious about the subject(s) (Hardy's The Dynasts, Browning's The Ring and the Book) you can read and interpret and ENJOY great things on your own--by the time you're a Senior or Junior take classes by PROF! there are MANY lame-os out there in US and UK academia crashing bores, pompous asses, Wokedopes pushing social justice agendas rather than explication du texte f them
Comment from : @tbwatch88

What about for Comparitive Literature, will it be the same?
Comment from : @luiscarlos-mn5rk

Congrats Senpai Waldun, all the best with your future endeavorsbrbrI started watched some of your videos since the end of last year i think my first one was the "Melbourne's Fashion Sense" video but that was my gateway drug into the other philosophy videos on the channelbrAs a compsci student with literally no breadth into literature it was nice to be able to listen in on these very interesting topics in philosophy and your takes on them using more or less laymen terms while on my regular commutesbrA friend of mine actually pointed out that you were on campus which i had no idea about and I was very hyped to meet you in person brSorry for running through frame on the recording btw that was me I probably should have kept my stuff next to the door if there was a chance i had to leave early 💀brI hope you will forgive me and thanks for checking out our pamphlet alsobrbrBest wishes, Luigi

Comment from : @nina_gc

Why not just read the summaries of the books? Why read the actual books and not the summaries?
Comment from : @hanskung3278

i’m in the last year of my degree in english and psychology - i’ve realized that english is in a way, the study of everything an english degree is almost like a lens to see things through

Comment from : @dudayev608

Here's another well-structured, extremely interesting and motivating video, R C Waldun! As an avid reader and literature enthusiast, your videos are a real godsend! Having said that, I have a question: is there a literature theory volume that you would recommend? I would love to analyze my readings more critically and go a bit beyond the close reading level, so to speakbrThanks for your amazing content, I'm looking forward to your next video 😁

Comment from : @Mercutiossword

Wow, one week to go!? Well done, Robin! 👏
Comment from : @marianhreads

LITERARY THEORY & CRITICISM are very important, once you start understanding them it gets easier and all those novels and plays which didn't make any sense to you in the beginning suddenly start making sense, you get a better idea of how and why the text is written in a particular way or style
Comment from : @ambreenali

4:30 " and to reinterpret these pieces of primary text through the theories that you've read"brOh, no! I hope that's not what it's like! You don't interpret the primary text through this & that theory You should be trying to understand what the AUTHOR meant by what they were writing
Comment from : @Yesica1993

I’m a freshman English major and I’ve been told that I don’t have to read everything even by my professor
Comment from : @fatema8819

I'm studying both history and literature, so I'm basically a professional reader at this point It is though as they require a different type of thinking, but it is a lot of fun

Great video mate!
Comment from : @MerakiAnton

I just want to say my dumb ass saw the thumbnail and didn't see your legs and so I thought you had a very rounded belly with no legs and I did a double take Anyway, congrats!
Comment from : @sasharodriguez384

Congratulations! Another point: you'll be reading way more criticim than actual literary works If you are thinking of doing English literature because you love reading fiction, please, bear in mind that this is not what English Literature is Many people don't know this until it's too late you'll be reading criticism, literary theory, sometimes history or even politics I remember when I had to read a legal document from 1860's Massachusetts Literature is something that's closely linked to society Sometimes, you need to understand more than just the plot Good luck

Comment from : @sherlock7898

If you love reading also, you don’t have to go for English literature History has just as many books assigned to you and it gives a lot of context to everything In college, history wasn’t about memorizing dates to events It was getting a framework over certain topics so that you can read deeper into it later
Comment from : @americanbookdragon

As you know, I'm someone that's really considering up-taking an English Degree, so this video came at a perfect time Amazing stuff as usual man!
Comment from : @archersworldofliterature

Thanks for the encouragement for others and for being an inspiration, go on Robin, you're the best of us
Comment from : @thehoodieguy1341

remember that education is a privilege everyone!!! not everyone can have degrees on their plate on top of supporting themselves and perhaps others care jobs and other professions are afforded less education though being incredibly crucial the humanities are becoming more and more exclusive and it’s really important we have that awareness going through our education never forget the reason you’re doing what you’re doing, remember to give back as much as you can

Getting a STEM degree If I did English I'd probably lose it
Comment from : @anjalitiwari2683

I am currently studying in last year of school And next year I will be joining literature course 😍 I know it's not going to be piece of cake instead sometimes literary works would be hard like walnuts but when I finally get to eat the nut inside I will get that big brains like literature professionals brbrMy heart is racing ahead of me for the future and I keep claming it down that first goal is to score in 12th standard
