The new literature text used in Form 4 and 5

Interestingly very challenging, yet rather appealing but seems amusing ...that's what feel as I explore the new text prepared for the Form 4 and Form 5...moving like a snail, but being observant and  reflecting on the words chosen and used by the author and drawing out response is an amazing experience...and the most interesting part is when throwing the light to my students when teaching them to understand the text...
