Someone help? (1 Viewer)

can someone help me find a related text for belonging?
my prescribed text is Strictly Ballroom.

i was thinking of Twilight (novel) but people say it's shallow. I think it best fits Strictly Ballroom though.

What do you think?

Definately do not touch the Twilight novel or series.
Not only is it a mainstream text but a 12 year old could read it and interpret it pretty well, my english teacher wouldn't even let a student use it as a text in Year 11.

Sorry, I dont have any suggestions, maybe you could discuss some possible texts with your teacher?

I seriously recommend you NOT to do twilight.
As you said yourself, twilight is too shallow
instead look for texts with more 'textual integrity'

I haven't read/seen strictly ballroom, so cant really help you with related text.

What do you think of The Island Armin Greder?

What do you think of The Island Armin Greder?

yea, its a very good book for belonging.
very dark, but yea suits the concept very well.
The people on the island are so slack though..

the fourth book in the twilight series is the best for this .

I think its chapter 10; something about Fates' loom. It's a good metaphor for belonging.

DO NOT do Twilight... as you did say it's shallow and really too hard to put out anything thats deep and meaningful.

I think Strictly Ballroom would be a great film to do ^ ^ with all the colours and creative artistics by Baz Lurmen.. (personally i didnt like Australia) I'm thinking you can put a lot of techniques out of it ^ ^
