Can anybody recommend a "changing self" text that can be related to Mike Leigh's Secret and Lies? Btw, Secrets and Lies is a movie about Hortense Cumberbatch, a successful black optometrist who is adopted. After the death of her adoptive mother, she chooses to trace her family history and discovers that her birth mother, Cynthia Purley, is a working class white woman. Cynthia's brother, Maurice Purley, is a photographer who is married to a suburban housewife. (wikied that.) The major themes are family and racism. I have thought abt doing poems by judith wright or gwen hardwood, but they dont have very many similarities. I could have done looking for alibrandi, but its quite common and cliche. Anybody have anything a little different? Thanks

I realised my related text doesn't have any substance and enough techniques (mb its just me) to analyse in comparison to S&L, but i scraped 1,300 words out of it!!
Ah...my essays sounds so unstructured but i srsly cannnt be bothered anymore.

I soooo regret not doing a gwen harwood poem!

O fyi, my related text was The Door by Miroslav Holub.

i didn't even know that more people replied, until maliha told me today in like...physics. so yeah i did gwen harwood's "Ban Owl". other people in my class did stuff like, saving francesca, catcher in the rye, clockwork orange, picture of dorian gray, billy elliot etc but it's not good to do a book, it's hard to find techniques :S
