  6. To do well in Literature you need the following\n1. Be Inquisitive. Texts have meanings meant to be unravelled, like a mystery waiting to be solved. Writers write to convey a message. Some times, there are more than one message and more than one way to find out. To find out these messages, you need to get into the habit of questioning what you read.\n
  7. To do well in Literature you need the following\nInitiative & determination: a lot of the meanings and messages in texts are more than meets the eye. They are embedded or hidden. You need the drive, the determination and patience to decipher them.\n
  8. To do well in Literature you need the following\nIndependence: Of course deriving meaning from texts could be a lot quicker if we asked the teacher, turned to research, writing or published notes.
