Is it at least 2 related texts for DISTINCTIVELY VISUAL HENRY LAWSON?

For distinctively visual I have Henry Lawson poems for which they always ask for 2 of the poems + 1 related text. I have 1 related text that I'm very down pat with(Johnny Got His Gun - Dalton Trumbo - Novel) and have others in mind but they aren't quite as strong. But also I'm thinking that it's a bit harsh to have to be forced to write about 4 texts in 40 mins.

What has anyone heard from their teachers? Because my teacher is giving me nothing and doesn't care. My tutor agrees with me.

Mod C I'm good with, have Educating Rita with 'In The Ghetto' by Elvis Presley and the TV show Breaking Bad as related.

I bloody hope it's just one because the novel I've got has something to write a big paragraph about in every character, but I've found something else which could work quite well.

They've always asked for 2 Lawson stories so I'm going off of that.

They did 1 for belonging so it's probably the same for modules. I think teachers just tell us 2 in case one doesn't fit the question, but the related texts I choose are very flexible and cover many aspects of the topic. I used the documentary 'Metallica: Some Kind of Monster' for belonging with 'The Simple Gift' and that fitted with time pretty well, and also I prepared for it by focusing on 'belonging is a choice' so that was adapted pretty well. For into the world I'm using the TV show 'Breaking Bad' with 'Educating Rita' which is very flexible and you can write on just about any of the main characters, about 7 of them. 'Johnny Got His Gun' conveys a very distinctive experience which is basically what the question will be.
