It was the English exam. today. Every student at the college studies English so it was all hands on deck. Just before we started, an officious-looking person scurried in to tell us they'd found a mistake in the paper. She quickly wrote on the blackboard:
Section A, Question 4 should read: Rita Hayworth NOT Rita Haywood.
How exciting! I couldn't wait to check the paper to see how Rita Hayworth managed to get involved in a question in the 2022 TASC English paper.
It was a section discussing various genres of literature and the book mentioned was 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, written by Stephen King and published in 1982. I know the story best from the fabulous film, The Shawshank Redemption. Rita Hayworth is the subject of the poster Andy uses to cover the entrance to the tunnel he is digging (spoiler alert! if you haven't read the book or seen the movie.)
These kids were expected to write three long essays on quite complex topics. I would have found it hard to do even now.
