Just a quick question....notice the: "Change - Related Texts"?
Can one of the mods make a "Journeys - Related Texts" because I think it's really important. Plus, I need related texts!

[shelley]

umm...i'll be a nice friendly person and warn peopel not to use "Heart of Darkness" we studied it in yr11...and my god was it boring! And its hard to deconstruct!
some ideas though are;
LOTR - but the books are better than the films
The odssey - peotry-Homer; very good if your looking for soemthing sophisticated...which all advanced kids should be doing
O brother Where Art Thou - movie-very funny has a good soundtrack
HuckleBerry Finn - book - good all round...miles different from what i remember from my childhood though
The Postman - ehh...its a long movie..but it did the job

There also 1000 pages, although I prefer the books it is much quicker to use the movies.

 

[Misturi]

Back to the Future

 

[KarmaKitten]

Sliding doors

 

[KarmaKitten]

my teachers keep telling us not to use songs unless theyre quite known etc.

*shrugs*

 

[Brad]

Im thinking, california by phantom planet or some pearl Jam songs

 

[elmostar]

A beautiful mind
the "i have a dream" speech
babe

 

[grk_styl]

I was told the movie Chocolat is a great one to use for physical journeys. Plus, it's not as boring as the Lord of the Rings!

*ducks bullets from the die-hard fans*
