The Outsider. (1 Viewer)

Hellllooo.

Our AoS for Advanced English is "The Outsider". For our assessment task, we have to collect and analyse at least five texts (novels, film, cartoon, poems etc.) which are about "The Outsider". Our core text is "Maestro - Peter Goldsworthy". Anyone got suggestions on what I can do for the other five texts? ><"

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That's a good one . It definitely displays the concept of being an outsider.

Uuurgh.. I'm trying to find texts for alienation too Though our core text is Othello...

Maybe... Country of the Blind? (We did this in class so we can't use it again)
Death of a Salesman
I have quite a few friends doing Alice in Wonderland/The Lion King/ The Hunchback of Notre Dame and many of them are doing the Edward Scissorhands one..

I dunno...I still can't really think of any to do.. I don't wanna do texts that my friends are doing...

The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock by TS Eliot

It's our core text for our AoS Identity. Deals with the alienation of an individual from society.

The Current Year 11 Syllabus is completing the unit “The Outsider”. The text we are using at my school is a book by Scott Monk called “Raw”. This book can be picked up or ordered from your local book shop.

isn't high noon a revenge tragedy? it is it a good text for outsider as well? because our outsider text is a revenge tragedy as well...(medea)...would be esay to link the two...

Yeah it's a good text for both..im assuming since the ext classes (also studying medea) looked at high noon, for the outsider and revenge tradegy..

An ~oMg~ awesome book for this topic would totally be "The Outsider" by Albert Camus.
