[Atarer]

Can anyone suggest some good texts for journeys? (excluding prescribed text for HSC)

judith beveridge's domesticity of the giraffe, orb spider, the two brothers.

Anything with a journey in it, which is basically most texts. Just pick something short and sweet that has heaps of techniques in it which you wouldn't mind watching/reading over and over again.

A great poem for journey is
"The Road not Taken" by Robert Frost
This poem has great metaphorical depth. Though it may lack length the depth of the entire poem surely doesn't lack content.

Be careful if you are picking this text - it was a set text before (and perhaps might still be?) and is very well known. Your analysis has to be top notch if you're going to use it and even then, most teachers will most likely groan when they see that you're using it.

Most movies are great for the 'journeys' study, but here are some really good ones:

The Count of Monte Cristo - shows the journey of Edmond Dantes from a boy, to a man. The whole movie is basically a metaphor of this journey.

Braveheart- The journey of William wallace from a 'lovestruck family man'
to a savage war hero

That is true, but if you willing to put hours into it you should be fine. My advice, read some analysis's from the internet but do not use them. I'm sure your teacher would of seen many similar ones before, get the idea from the internet and write YOUR OWN interpretation.
