Discovery supplementary texts (1 Viewer)

[Nein99Nein]

Hey Guys,

What are some good supplementary texts for Discovery? I've got Homer's Odyssey and (Halfheartedly) Apocalypto on my mind but i don't think they are any good. Any suggestions will be much appreciated

Heart of Darkness, literally the best related text ever. I could go on for ages how discovery is portrayed in it.

Thanks for that, I'll look into it.

Would you mind very briefly outlining how discovery is portrayed in it or have any resources for me to read?

Google Heart of Darkness, you'll find a lot of things on it and the main character's self-discovery. He goes on a journey into Africa and discovers the European colonial/imperial mission is ineffective/foolish/inhumane. He discovers the "darkness" within humanity, the "horror". He discoveries that Africa is not the darkness but in fact his home land, Europe is (Thames river, not the congo).

You'll find tonnes of stuff.

You can use mine if you want to elaborate more on how the texts make us discovery the issues of society.

I guess it depends on your text. I would've gone with 'The secret life of Walter Mitty'. It wasn't my related (I did plurality by Dennis Liu), but that was only because I didn't think of using it until about 2 nights before the exam lol

Just wanted to say... go ahead and choose unpredictable related texts. I ended up doing a rap song.
Don't fear this option
