Any suggestions for related texts for Rosemary Dobson?

Looking down the list, I saw that The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and The Hound of the Baskervilles are texts I'd be interested in reading, but I'm not sure if they can be related to Dobson's poems. (I might just read them for leisure anyways.)

Thanks. :)

film or anything short

rubric: lead us to new world values, stimulate new ideas,
Offer new understandings and renewed perceptions of ourselves & others
Vary according to context
transformative for individual
emerge from process of deliberate & careful planning evoked by curiosity but it can also be sudden

I'm doing the Frank Hurley doco as my prescribed, and I'm having difficulty choosing a related.
I've considered Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, The Goldfinch, and Requiem for a Dream.

Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch.

Hey mate. Any ideas for a related text for Dobson's poetry? (relating to a specific poem)
Which poem are you thinking of doing?

Can you tell me some of your ideas (through pm or here) that relate to discovery?

I'll try and get back to you by Saturday.

Are you allowed to do an anime?
Before you judge, this series has underlying themes such as self-discovery, discoveries of truths that are meant to be hidden, changing of values, lost civilisations, technological discoveries, discovery through journeys...
Is it possible to analyse an anime?

Well I would think certain anime would be suitable for using as related text, but I need more information about your prescribed + the series you are considering to do. You would be "allowed to" for HSC exams but your English department might be a bit negative towards you doing anime series. So double check with your english teachers.

What is your prescribed text? I mean it may work but I think that there are easier related texts out there.
