Does anyone know any good related texts (preferably poems) for Brave New World?

Depending on how you analyse, i'd say try looking at some Bruce Dawe poems. Some of them are really good, especially for consumerism

V for Vendetta
The Giver

3 dystopian films very related to the opposition against a seemingly "perfect" system.

If you do a dystopian text, be very careful to focus on representation and people and politics not the dystopian similarities. Other texts include Piggybook (a picture book about gender politics).

agree, i just did an assignment on this, and it required us to focus on how the text is constructed - i.e. how the creator of the text has used techniques to establish the reasons for the actions of people.

the exact question was: "How has the construction of your text revealed the reasons and impact for people's political motivations?"

Just to throw my 2 cents, for our trials the question was:
"This is politics. People in power never abide by the same rules" Discuss the statement with relation to your prescribed and ONE other related

So as you can see, you need a related that is flexible that covers representation AND people AND politics

That's a mad question

In relation to my prescribed, my main idea was that the government and political figures abuse their powers and create fascist regimes, to which they utilise to create stability. It is through this representation of the composers perceptive that shapes the ideals of the reader and questions social normalities
Tbh, i cant really remember exactly what i wrote, i literally just let my hands write without thinking

Wow, so it was really luck for you?

actually no i had to pull that shit out of my ass on the spot. I would've been lucky if they asked a question about representation or people but i didn't account for the politics.

Very funny...

I'm sure you'll find the strength of the message a picture book can convey quite surprising.
