About me!
Hi! I’m Polina! I’m a half Korean, a quarter German and Russian book lover whose channel is dedicated to exactly that- books. I make mainly study guides to classics, do reviews, and create fun content dedicated to promoting reading. I upload videos every week on Sunday, unless my computer crashes (xD) If you’re a literature student who wants to review materials before an exam, or you’re just generally interested in books, any and all genres, then I hope you decide to check out my channel!

I just want to say a very big thank you to you because you helped me to get an A* in IGCSE literature , I am so grateful for your lessons
thank you so much ! i'm revising dracula and dorian gray for my english literature a level exam and i just love ur ideas and how ur mind works ! i never would have thought of these myself :)
what a lovely comment! Thanks so much, and good luck on your exam x
Super work Polina!. As someone from Clontarf, who went to Trinity (read Drama and Theater Studies) and has a good friend who works in the Lyceum, I love your very detailed and inspiring crytical analysis.
I just recently read Dracula and you did a great job on the us vs. them concept! Wish I'd articulated that when I was trying putting into words how fascinating this book is for giving us a glimpse into society at the time. Love your deep dive. I'll be back for the rest 😁
Thank you! I hope you find the other parts as interesting:)
Bravo Polina! I am always dismayed that some find the novel DRACULA a bit dry. Perhaps they simply watch too many movies and read too few books. I greatly anticipate part 2 of your analysis.
After I finished reading Dracula, I genuinely did not understand if I read the same book as other people, it's such a fascinating novel with so many witty moments! As you say perhaps the movie influence is what's harmful here. As always thank you so much for you kind comment, and I hope part 2 (coming today) does not disappoint:)
Thank you so much for these videos! My exam is next week and I really struggle with Dracula, and there are very little resources, so this is so helpful :)
Good luck!! I'm so happy I could help x
I LOVE U FOR THIS MY A LEVELS IN A COUPLE WEEKS AND I HAVENT EVEN READ THE BOOK ‼
I'm glad I can help x I also have a Beloved series, which is the work you need to compare Dracula to:)
thank you so much Polina!! Please could you make some videos comparing Dracula and Beloved? thank you for everything, you are a big reason why i am predicted an A*!!!
I will try my best! thanks for being a follower x
This is so helpful for my a-level in a few weeks!! Do you happen to have any videos on the picture of dorian gray, as thats the novel I compare this to!
Hi! This is a really old video I did, so the quality is not as good, but hopefully it’ll be at least a little helpful: th-cam.com/video/9GcJ0BpPgVE/w-d-xo.html
Your tips are very helpful, thabk you for that. I'm currently reading Dracula in english (i'm from germany) and i found myself lost in the slang/dialects fe the old man, mina and lucy's friend. I had to skip a few of those passages because i got stuck pretty badly
Glad it was helpful! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it and won't find it too difficult soon x
do you have any tips on how to revise Dracula?
try learn the quotes through flashcards, writing them out, whatever helps. It will help you recognise the bits where the quotes are from and prompt your recall:)
What is written in 'features of ______ ___', at 2:06? I can't read that font 😅

@@PolinasPages Thank you so much for your prompt reply!
We're learning these gothic conventions in class, however your videos provide such a good take on everything ♡ Keep up the good work, can't wait to watch more of your vids!

Harker was a fine lad. He was right about all his observations.
I think the train observation is far from the truth in modern society. UK trains have nearly always been late by at least a few minutes in my experience so far partly because of the strikes. The subway system is the worst I’ve used. Meanwhile the Asian system is far more organized and far more clean, countries like Korea have the cleanest subway, and the culture in the Japanese metro for example is great, everyone is quiet so as not to disturb each other. So as much as you can admire Harker, I don’t think he was right about everything. But that’s just my opinion re: trains
@@PolinasPages I'm not sure you were around and kicking in 1897 to contradict Harker in any way. Don't be so salty, Mrs
@@redappl3video happy I don’t look that old to be born in 1897:) not here to fight a war about his observations, just expressed my personal thoughts re: trains today.
