It's not something that you can really compile and put in a post on the BOS forum.. It's hard to do.

What exactly do you need help with?

well, i need to know how it relates to my AOS which is imaginative journeys and a couple of techniques which back up this.

Ummm, I'm really sorry, but if you find it difficult to link it to imaginative journeys, then you shouldnt use it. I'm sure there are a lot of other texts that would be better suited to the module, and you should pick one that you fully understand so that you can mould it according to the question asked.

Meh, well, if you still wanna do it, then i guess i could help snce i did it for Ext eng.
It is an imaginative journey because the line between reality and surrealism has blurred. The narrator is haunted, but by the ghost of his wife, or by the insanity of his mind?? Merh, i dunno, its too bloody ambiguous, you can interpret the poem in so many ways, so it would be pointless of me to give my own view, since it should be yours.

Merh, sorry, im no help, i rekon u should just find another text.
