[DMOS]

I'm just curious about what related texts people chose for belonging because I have to choose mine soon.

Make your thread in the correct forum.

Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams. If you're studying Romulus, My Father then I strongly suggest this as a related text. It's amazing.

Coonardoo - novel by Katherine Susannah Prichard. About a White man's love for an Aboriginal woman in 1920s Australia. Great text for belonging =)Also, an episode of Little House on the Prairie

The Enchantress of Florence - Salman Rushdie.
Lots of insights into belonging, good for Romulus.

EDIT: ALSO brilliant for conflicting perspectives.

The film right? Because I had that as one of my related texts as well and it was brilliant. I didn't use it in the exam though.

A Man Asleep by Georges Perec

 

[0hNivlek]

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

 

[emilyo]

Brave New World by Aldous Huxely (would work in conflicting perspectives too)

 

[jessmooka]

The White Masai, WICKED (ftw!), and a picture called fifth avenue by shaun tan. It makes it easier if you have a simpler text such as a painting, cos you can draw all sorts of conclusions without wasting your time with a whole novel, film etc other than the ones you have to study.

The Swedish film 'As it is in Heaven'.Lots of belonging to write about, heaps of techniques...

 

[Ethanescence]

I wrote about Call of the Wild (novel) by Jack London in the exam. I studied Once More, With Feeling (TV episode) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I briefly studied techniques and the plot from Mulholland Drive (film) in case the question couldn't be related to my other two texts, but I didn't use these two at all because the question only specified one.

The Home Song Stories - Tony Ayres

 

[ELeanor N]

The Black Balloon (2008) film, and The Outsider by Albert Camus

I ended up using The Outsider in the exam - good book

So there's a forum dedicated to Paper One......but you decided to put this thread here.
