Identity - Area of Study - Related Texts? (1 Viewer)

[Aerath]

Hey,

I'm just wondering - does anyone have any good ideas for related texts, for the English Advanced Area of Study of Identity? I'm sorta short on ideas, and the only ones I have so far are Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken and Melina Marchetta's Looking For Alibrandi (although, my teacher said the latter was too simple, and since we're supposed to be comparing these related texts to poems, she also said that the former would not be 'excellent' for comparing other poems to).

I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas, or any good places where there are ideas.

Thanks in advanced.

 

[Aerath]

Yeah, thanks - but there's just a little problem with that. All the threads I have found are either about peoms, or Looking for Alibrandi; both of which my teacher has 'strongly discouraged' us to do.

Alot of texts have identity stuff. But what do the texts teach you? Moral lessons - e.g. to try to stop your racist actions? Um, I suggest the ones with identity crisises and journeys of self-discovery also go down well. Um, can you do non-fiction texts?? Cause they are good and realistic cause its real life (lol). Um, sorry I can't think of any texts right now.

Re: English Assessment Help

What's so special about Chocolat that makes it a text for "Notions of Identity"?

Re: English Assessment Help

Walk in My Shoes, - Alwyn Evans
Does my head look big in this? - Randa Abdel-Fattah

Both these text relate to identity. Text about identity teach you things about yourself and how individuals search for their own identities and the impact of this search on them personally, their environment, friends, family and society
