Can you use TWO prescribed texts in AoS? (1 Viewer)

[MrPinstripeSuit]

Ok, in the 2004 paper, for Question 3, the question stated
"Refer to your prescribed text, ONE text from the prescribed stimulus booklet, and at least ONE text of your own choosing"
Now in there it doesnt say you cant use TWO of the prescribed texts
(Eg. Skrzynecki and Lionheart)
I ask because for the trial i had prepared Lionheart as an extra text, only to realise as i sat down and read the question that it was a prescribed text. I didnt use it cause i was unsure whether i could or not but now as i'm doing a final review of my major points i realise that a number of quotes from Lionheart would fit excellently in. Does anybody have an absolute answer to this question? Or, if not, does anybody have an opinion about it at all?

cheers everyone, and good luck tomorrow

You shouldnt use a prescribed text for any other module as an own related text, is thats what you're asking..... PM me if i didnt answer your question propely and i will do so

Hey, thats cool, but what if i want to use Two prescribed texts from the Area of Study. does anyone have any ideas?

Its highly inadvisable to do so, because unless your analysis of both is comparable, the marker won't be able to distinguish which is the text you actually did. The idea of having related texts is to offer a different view on the material given (in this case, journeys) so using a text which is also prescibed is a bad idea - it indicates that you don't have the initiative to be creative and original.

Even in Advanced and EE1 you are strongly advised to write about other prescribed texts in the entire syllabus let alone in the course.

If I were you, I'd steer clear of a text which is already prescribed.
