choosing related texts (2 Viewers)

Hmm, im starting to looking for some related text for discovery and im wondering if I am allowed to choose a book (1st book) of a trilogy as a related text and, if I am, is it recommended? Like will I get less marks than a book that is by itself and doesnt have a book 2 or book 3 that follows it? Thank you

It will make no difference whether it's part of a trilogy or not.

Cool, thanks Bump for more answers

Should be fine

Great and here just another question about writing the name of the text on paper if it's part of a trilogy.. do I need to include the name of the trilogy? For example: (Name of text): (title of trilogy). Or I do just write the title of the book?

I think it's just frowned upon, because the point of related texts is that you have to think for yourself and apply your knowledge to other texts, in your own way.

Bump for my question.. (do you need to include the title of the trilogy when writing the name of the novel that belongs in it?) Im getting yes and no responses from my mates. :/

Ask your teacher?

Even though it is frowned upon, studying the film rather than the novel may be ok...

^ I've always been told it's better to avoid films that have recently come out as it might be too pop culturish / Hollywood. But that just might be my school :S

True. There is a much older film version of it though

Foreign language films are worth looking into
