yes! passage to india is really weird, it's hard to understand because the writer keeps changing perspectives, and it gets confusing>.<. i didn't really like it, does it get better past the first few chapters/first quarter? i couldn't read on once i decided i'm not doing lit anymore hah.
I wouldn't worry about understanding
Passage to India in its entirety yet - I had to read it about three times before it "clicked", but after that, I felt confident enough to write on it in the exam. One trick that I found helpful (and this probably sounds too obvious) was to try and distill, to two or three sentences, what the "message" of Forster's worldview is in the text. Writing it out will clarify your thoughts, and you can always add to the list later.
One thing that I really disliked about
Passage was that the stylistic features, which are supposed to form the bulk of your commentary in the exam, are not all that obvious (or they weren't to me), so maybe try and read with special attention to these in your later read-throughs.
Introduce yourself, what texts are you studying and what score are you aiming for?
Lawls - sorry for the off-topic post! Good luck to everyone though - and EvangelionZeta is right, Hamlet is awesome.
