As the subject says, I need suggestions for texts which can relate to the most boring book ever chosen as a core text, My Place by Sally Morgan. Right now I've got Spirited Away which is relating all right and I'm about to check out Memoirs of a Geisha.
I also have Life of Pi (novel) but I haven't read it yet and I have no idea how well it will relate.

In 2 weeks time I have a speech due and part of the topic is "unpredictability", so if you know of a text that can relate to that as well as My Place, I'll give you an e-cookie if you tell me what it is.

I'm hoping for a text that I can analyse in a short amount of time (anything but novels). Preferably a poem or song that can somehow relate to My Place and possibly hint on the topic of unpredictability, and I already have 2 movies and a novel so yeah..A source or link to where I can get the poem would be appreciated too.

Anyway, advice will be greatly appreciated. I'm one of those students that need as much help on English as they can. :bomb:

Alice Sebold. Good book. I hadn't even thought of using that as a related text.

I've only found one related text out of four, it's the Australian film "Somersault". It's not very strong, I just picked it because I loved it and I really needed to hand in a related text. :eek:
