How do I excel in English classes?

<p>I always do really shitty in English classes. I write okay enough but I suck at analyzing and understanding literature. I want to learn how to write really well and how to analyze/understand literature properly. Does anyone have any tips? Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Read some elementary texts about literary analysis, a la How to Read Literature Like a Professor.</p>

<p>If you read more it will be easier. I started reading a lot more this year and I’m a lot better at English now. I also had a very good teacher.</p>

<p>I hated English just like you, OP. Soon, something sparked inside me after reading a lot. </p>

<p>Soon, you will realize that writing is actually an outlet of feelings and emotions. Once you grasp that, you will be passing English with flying colors. </p>
