related text - Should i use it?? (1 Viewer)

[Natske]

My prescibed text for changing perspective is Cosi and one of my

related texts is Peter Skryznecki's Felix Skryznecki, however im

not sure if its a good idea to use it as my related text when other

schools are using as their prescribed text???

does anyone know if this will affect how i am marked???

Um... I wouldn't recommend it, and I'd say your teachers wouldn't either.

It's frowned upon in English especially, I'm not sure how marking goes if you do but I'd suggest finding something else to be on the safe side.

Its not really recommended. Even aside from this, it stands to reason that its often easier to choose texts which aren't as widely used. That way you can save the marker a bit of boredom and avoid disagreement if they have differing views on the text.

Ok thanx guys!

you dont have any suggestions for related texts for change in perspectives (that aren't too difficult due to this late stage!) do you???

look at the sticky at the top of this forum! you'll find plenty.

oh and don't do feliks. It would be certainly frowned on because they are form the sme module and the markers would think that you didn't bother looking for a text of your own, you just took one the Board of Studies found!

i agree definetly dont use skrezynecki... but finding them is hard hey? some people are just using the craziest related texts! good luck for monday
try my father began as a god by ian mudie - really closely related to skrezynecki's poems... if u know of any others let me know... cos do u need 1 or 2 related?

there's a short story by robert cormier called The Moustache and its pretty easy to analyse and write about as a realted text.
