have u checked out BNW/BR FAQ?
wrong_turn
the chosen one
well here is a site that im sure will really help you int his module.
http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/english/advanced/comparative_study/in_the_wild/
what would really help you in this module are the concepts. since your elective is 'in the wild' as bnw/br is, thenn you must consider the following, which are also in the syllabas:
what is the meaning of 'in the wild'?
bascially what you do here is to have your own meaning of what is in the wild to you, using concept from bnw and br.
to enhance your response, make sure you list techniques and explain what they are in terms of 'in the wild.'
what is humanity?
the concepts of humanity in both bnw and br. explain what the director and the author had expalned or interpreted humanity to be or what they thought humanity was.
what is the natural world?
the natural world in each text.
the natural world in bnw is the world state since the author has predominantly interpreted it as the thing that is closer to humanity, though we see it as the reservation
the natural world in br is seems to be the state of which is human and who isnt, therefore replicant v humans.
this has a link to the concept of what is humanity
the aim for comparative study:
the aim obviously is to compare, but what to compare? comapare bnw to br within the concepts, and you can do some fancy linking after that.
cheers people
