Some kids find a way to relate to “Literature” by putting it into context they enjoy. I recall my S reading Russian lit, and turned to history books to understand. Had he had to write a paper, I’m sure it would have reflected the historical period rather than character study.

In truth, I can’t recall any depth English papers, just lots of grammar quizzes and poetry.
