Ted Hughes "Birthday Letters" Related Texts? (2 Viewers)

[Crobat]

Hi all,

So I had a look at this thread ---> http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=192438 but it's mostly related to Julius Caesar as a prescribed.

My school teaches Ted Hughes' anthology of poems Birthday Letters and the 2 main poems I'll be referring to are 'The Shot' and 'Your Paris'.

But first, I need some suggestions since I can't really think of any.

Does anyone have an idea about what I could link well to 'The Shot' and 'Your Paris' or Birthday Letters as a whole?

Edit: In the end I ended up using Fahrenheit 9/11. A bit tricky to analyse but I did quite well in my essay.

We've just started the course but the teacher recommended "Atonement" the novel. A bit long though...
