TV Prog: Secret Life of Us Particularly the episode where Alex has the abortion lots of stuff there

Novel: Looking For Alibrandi --> could do better there not the best dense novel around

Short Story: parable Jesus and Zacchaeus --> Go CATHOTLIC STUDIES

Magazine Article: 300 Kids Nine Weeks One American Summer Camp....The Sun Herald SUnday LIfe by David Cornish 28/04/02

Play: Educating Rita by Willy Russell or Whats the Matter with Mary Jane by Wendy Harmer... both really short

Song: The Times they are a Changin' Bob Dylan

Webiste: www.wchm.org.au/emotion_4.htm website about creating change through yoga... quite good

Newspaper Article: After Rome 2000, a 'leap of faith' by Marilyn Kerjean The Catholic Weekly June 9 2002

you could to the movie pleastantville or the play taming of the shrew by shakespeare.. or maybe 10 things i hate about u.. or bridget jones' diary.. i used some them in a thesis we had to do about change, not relating to our prescribed texts.

we did harwood and i realised that the above texts didn't really relate to harwood much. so i did the song cats in the cradle by ugly kid joe and a newspaper article on women being botoxed. :)

Remember NOT to use a text that is on the english syllabus! It wont impress the markers!!!
Better you find out now than after the exam or when you get the results back :)

what about two texts from the same module? ie Away and My Place.
would that impress markers with my Conscientious behaviour, or would it irritate them because i went to no effort looking for related material?

how many related texts should we use in the essay?

would they say a minimum of 3?

i can't be bothered memorising the other 3 i have coz they're kinda long.
