Pick another course right now and register for it to hold a place. Then the night before classes start if your BritLit class hasn't been cancelled, drop the other course. Or vice versa.
It really depends on the school, but normally things aren't cancelled until the week before classes start.
Usually after drop/add week. However, it would be PRUDENT, to ASK YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISER, not YAHOO!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
