　　English with Creative Writing Personal Statement

　　Reading books and creating imaginary worlds were originally forms of escapism to me, a retreat from the structure and routine of my school studies. However, over the years my favourite pastimes and academic career have merged, to form a passion for English and a clear ambition: to become a successful writer. It doesn&apost matter whether the task is to decipher the ambiguities within Shakespeare&aposs poetry, discuss the pragmatic implications of a transcript, or to compose a piece of music expressing the sentiments of a poem; my enthusiasm for each aspect of my A levels stems from a fascination with the exploration and expression of ideas.

　　Novels centred on character development as opposed to plot, such as To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee or Anita and Me by Meera Syal have always been my prerence, as an author&aposs ability to capture the essence of human nature and provoke the thoughts of readers is what inspires me to write my own material. Furthermore, the way in which readers&apos perceptions can be shaped through first person narrative, like in Salinger&aposs Catcher in the Rye or Burgess&apos A Clockwork Orange, is of great interest to me, and is probably the reason behind my decision to study Iain Banks&apos The Wasp Factory for my coursework, as the warped belis of its psychopathic protagonist are what put a controversial, postmodern slant on the traditional gothic genre.

　　A level Literature has also heightened my appreciation for poetry. Shakespeare&aposs ability to express well-known, somewhat cliched ideas with a renewed poignancy is what I feel sets him apart; in my opinion, the notion that &apostrue love lasts forever&apos could not be conveyed more fectively than &aposLove is not love/Which alters when it alteration finds&apos. I am equally immersed in Milton&aposs Paradise Lost, and I find the surrounding debates of various critics almost as intriguing as the intricate beauty of the poem itself. I disagree with William Blake&aposs famous claim that Milton was &aposof the Devil&aposs party without knowing it&apos, and am much more in accordance with the reasoning of Stanley Fish.

　　My main focus in creative writing is prose, yet being the lead singer in a band I also have considerable experience in writing song lyrics. Each week I attend the Shfield Young Writer&aposs Group in order to cultivate my writing skills and socialize with like-minded people. This has given me increased confidence in my ability, enabling me to share my work with others and participate in an open-mic poetry evening. My perfectionist streak became an issue for me when it began hindering my capability to complete anything, and so to alleviate the problem I participated in National Novel Writing Month, in which the aim is to write 50,000 words of prose in 30 days. The purpose of this colossal challenge is to silence the stifling &aposinner critic&apos and focus on the joy of writing every day, a feat I am proud to have accomplished. I now accept that a first draft cannot be perfect, and that persistence is essential in order to succeed!

　　I was initially discouraged from taking both English A levels, and so opted for English Language as it contained modules of original writing. I quickly regretted this decision, and thankfully my teachers had enough faith in my ability to allow me to complete the whole Literature A level in one year. However, the two courses I discontinued have still been greatly benicial; being able to speak a foreign language has been a deeply fulfilling experience, and my art AS level has taught me the discipline of meeting strict deadlines with a heavy workload, as well as being an additional outlet for my imagination. Also, I am learning the AS Literature course solely through private tuition, and as my contact time is limited to one hour a week, this entails a substantial amount of private study and self discipline, preparing me for the demands of university study.
