Does anyone know any really good related texts for distinctively visual? (I'm doing Shoe Horn).

Yes, the only Module that doesn't require related texts is Module B.

Any text would work, as long as they have a profound impact on how you see the world. As, 'Roofusss' stated, any of those texts they listed would work great, as it challenges your concept of normality and what you perceive as traditional / normal. 'Elsewhere' by Gabrielle Zevin would be another good texts, as it would alter the way you perceive the afterlife and life itself. I'm not sure of many other related texts, as I still am to complete this Module myself.

Haha, I've done the Module now since my last lot of input.

In my class we have done the following related texts:

- 'William Street' - Kenneth Slessor (Poem).
- 'Scenic Drive' - R. Cobb (Cartoon).
- 'Preludes' - T.S. Eliot (Poem).
- 'The Lovesong of J.Alfred Prufrock' - T.S. Eliot (Poem).
- 'Cell Block Tango' - Chicago Musical (Musical Performance) - sooo damn catchy. D:
- 'Pleasantville' - Gary Ross (Film).

All the above were for 'The Shoe-Horn Sonata'. But I would imagine they could be adapted to pretty much any of the prescribed texts in Module A: Distinctively Visual.

A fantastic related text is 'bowling for columbine' - Michael Moore (film) very powerful, and very similar to the issues in shoe horn

Just to add, since this has had so many people looking, texts which look at the brutality of conflict, such as Nuremberg, Gallipoli, Beneath Hill 60, Kokoda, companionship/support/loyalty in hostile/difficult situations such as Matrix, Midnight Cowboy, About a Boy; the dishonesty of governments-Iraq invasion resources, Julian Assange/Edward Norton resources; the impact of memory in a picture book like Memorial or a film like "The Iron lady" can all connect to "Shoe-horn". Propaganda posters from the first and second world wars, as well as advertisements trying to depict a confronting message on e.g. drink driving or anti-smoking, can also be useful sources of distinctively visual texts used to reveal ideas, engage responders and demonstrate different experiences in unique/special ways.
