depends on the conditions set in ur school really. My school allows u to use any content you've used in previous assessments or studied in class, hence making the tedious analysis or related texts less demanding. I suppose you can only hope your school offers that same luxury.

hehe trinity starts week day next term...which means we have to study during the holidays, depending on how committed we are to our study, which is a mega bummer

if you find yourself short of related texts and you have limited time for preparation...a suggestion is to use songs and poems, or maybe short stories - the take up the least time to analyse i reckon

you will have to use a booklet text and one or more found texs of your choosing.
it is, as someone has already advised, easy to use a song. obviously one that suits your topic and you can relate techniques of the song (ie. musical style, lyrics, contrast, soft and loud volume, instruments, etc) to the inner journey.
i'm using mother mother by tracey bonham, but blink 182 are common to use.
listen to songs u like and find the inner journey in them.
then make a table of techniques and quotes used in each text- cosi especially, then your chosen booklet text (journey to the interior is great) and then work out two found texts just in case they want more than one.
that's my hot tips. it had worked for me in the past.
make sure u keep your tables and study notes since you will definately need them later.

good luck! im starting exams next week. first up is area of study english. party down!
