Do you guys think that Nineteen Eighty-Four would be a suitable related text for Belonging? (core text is The Crucible)

Thanks in advance.

Don't do Standard so I'm not sure. All I know the Crucible is some play. Sorry

I think Nineteen Eighty-Four is an Orwell novel right? Sounds good

just be careful, coz every teacher would know the text.

You better be analysing it super well...

And it used to be on the HSC Syllabus in 2008.

No, do short story; the last spin by Evan Hunter.

 

[Aerath]

The Last Spin is heavily overused - not so much for Belonging, but for Module C - Conflicting Perspectives.

thanks for the replies.

so is it worth sticking with 1984 or is it better finding a new related text (novel, ofc)?

do they really frown upon using texts from 08 HSC?

thanks again.

 

[Aerath]

Um, I think they would. You're better off finding a new related text. Try "Things Fall Apart". It's shorter, and easier to read than 1984. I used it as a related text, I got 95 in Adv English.
