In the exams if i have an essay on Henry Lawson. Is it absolutely necessary to reference all four of the stories we have studied? Or is it acceptable to do 2 or 3?
I think you should refer to the relevant module rubric, if the rubric did not require you to do all four, there is no reason to do all four, you should choose the poems that are the most relevant to answering your particular essay question
You don't have to reference all of the stories. As above says, select the ones that are the best for the question. I know it's tempting to just focus on a couple, but the ones you pick might not suit the question for that module. Cheers
