Conflicting Perspectives Related Texts

[SSRabbitohs2009]

I am little confused with this module.
Are we supposed to find related texts that have conflicting perspectives WITHIN them, or find 2 related texts that oppose each other.
Because I have been looking for related texts that have conflicting perspectives within them.

[Aerath]

Either are fine. I used a text that had conflicting perspectives within it, whereas others in my grade had two newspaper articles that gave contrasting views of an event/personality/situation.

[SSRabbitohs2009]

Ah, okay, grooveh.
Thanks.

I'm using Animal Farm. I think it's a really good text for this module. It has loads to talk about.
Plus, like you said, it's short and easy to read. It's also a good book as well.

What elements of conflicting perspectives are in Animal Farm i can only see one when Napoleon and Snowball argue over the windmill thingo .... anything else in there???

That's the main one I picked up on plus you can also talk about conflicting perspectives of Snowball as a personality, as well as conflicting perspectives of 'animalism'.

Should our related texts be conflicting each other based on ONE event?

Or can they be two related texts presenting conflicting perspectives within them but they are not based on the same event?

Which option is preferable?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Question has been asked about 5x before.
Related texts do not have to be about the same event.

I was thinking of using 'Reservoir dogs" directed by quentin tarantino ?
a girl in my my class also suggested pulp fiction and my teacher said it was fine to use it. anyone else agree?

[Aerath]

I have no reason why Pulp Fiction would not be a decent text.

if we use two newspaper articles, does that count for as one related text or two?

[Aerath]

To be honest, I'm not sure. For instance, we recently had an assessment task where we were asked to discuss Julius Caesar and one related, but a lot of people used two articles which had conflicting perspectives of the same event. So I'm not really sure. Ask your teacher(s).

[ekoolish]

Each text is counted as a separate text. It is like for our elective Ted Hughes we have several different poems relating to the same topic but they each count as separate texts in the essay. Therefore you're probably better off having ORT's which aren't related to each other.

[SSRabbitohs2009]

Okay, okay.
Considering that the two related texts don't have to be related to each other (or so I gather) I'm planning to use United 93 and I'm still looking for a short story.

[anardi]

I did Artemisia Gentileschi's artwork Judith Beheading Holofernes...

And...

A child's film! But I'm not saying what it is.

Consequently, my essay kicks serious ass.

im doing thankyou for smoking i rekn its pretty good example of conflicting perspectives within a text

[kmt10]

im screwed. havent even heard of 98% of these texts.

[.:.]

hey everyone, for one of my related texts ive chosen to use the film ned kelly with heath ledger. Does anyone know another related text i could use with this? Preferably one regarding Ned Kelly so that i could easily link them.

I've been looking around but i haven't been able to find one that works.. and i have an assessment task in a couple of days.. Can anyone help?

[hairspray]

Can anyone tell me one scene in the movie "Pulp Fiction" that conflicting perspectives occur?

[Kat92]

Anyone have any ideas of what I could use to link with Julius Caesar? I know that most texts have some sort of conflicting perspective but I need something interesting and easy to link to JC....

thanks for the help....

You don't need to link your related material to Julius Caesar. It can be on an entirely different personality or event. However, if you were to link with Julius Caesar you would look at Plutarch or the Bell's Shakespeare Stage production of Caesar.

[Manda-Jean]

What do u guys think of mississipi burning for realted text for Caesar??

[emma211]

frontline episodes are great for conflicting perspectives
the episode 'add sex and stir' is the one i'm doing
