Question.. (1 Viewer)

[Rory]

Right, well, I'm doing Telling The Truth: Birthday Letters and I've got to do an analytical essay on:

"A story told over and over loses it's fit with "the truth" and becomes a story about a story"

I have to use two of the six poems we're studying and two related texts.

Now with the related texts, could they be anything, or should I just stick with shit from Hughes/Plath ..

It's just I remember a book of like..horror stories and they were like that little 5min ABC show "Freaky Stories" where it's like "This is a true story, it happened to a friend of a friend of mine.." and yeh I thought using something like that as an example would be somewhat fitting to the essay but yeh..suggestions?

If you're asked to use related text in the question, use related text.

Trust me, I had some weird related text too.

You can use any text. It's better to use things that have more 'depth' tho..

Okies..It's probably easier to just keep pitting Hughes and Plaths poems against each other since that's basically all we've done through the module lmao.

yes, you have to use a different text, not just the poems. something totally different, hopefully a different medium (not poem) that has the same theme and ties in.
