Re: crucible related texts @Lina3 that sounds like a fantastic related text. Tbh i'm not sure how common it is, but because it is a well renowned piece of literature as long as you analyse it well the markers will love you!

Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf :) I used it for The Crucible, it was a really interesting combination.

Multiple text types: fictional recreation, personal reflection, historical documents, discussions etc Analogy: the 50 gates, where light represents knowledge and understanding whilst blackness (a reoccurring image) represents lack thereof There's tonnes of different techniques in this book, try...

Yeah definitely don't jump into the decision, be certain that it's what you want to do. If you really enjoy them then it might benefit you to keep them. One of my teachers said that doing the extra subject gives you access to more knowledge than a person doing 10, which could benefit you later...
