Just a question a little off topic. Would the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne be a good one to do in yr 12? I know it's still ages away but I just finished it and was wondering if it's overused or not since the concept belonging and different aspects of it pretty much dominate the novel.
@Lina3 that sounds like a fantastic related text. Tbh i'm not sure how common it is, but because it is a well renowned piece of literature as long as you analyse it well the markers will love you!
For my related text my class did the documentary "Bra Boys" it may seem a little strange but it links in so well with the crucible and you can talk about the desire to belong being and enduring theme in humanity, I think it would be well worth you geting it out and having a look because I found it so easy to write about and link into all of my esays on belonging.
