I'm preparing 3 texts; Romulus My Father, The Accidental Tourist and Lantana. I most likely will end up answering questions about Romulus My Father and The Accidental Tourist.

i would challenge that topic by exploring how/why he does the things he does (ie Machiavellian philosophy). I would also look at the consequences of his actions (perjury - loss of self) and then make a comparison with the motives/actions of More to argue that More's behavior was more 'admirable' then Rich's. (Rich - gains Attorney General of Wales - looses self respect. More - looses life - maintains sense of 'self').

..or something like that. i might try writing it in a few days and post it when i'm done. :-)

i think the main thing with a topic like that is not to agree entirely with the statement and to broaden the discussion to include characters other than Rich.

I'm relying on 1984, and Accidental Tourist. Our school also did Lantana this year but I find it really hard to write an essay of any depth on it, seeing as to me it's not a very deep film* ... also I find it extremely boring hence I'm not gonna touch it


*just my opinion, sorry if it offends anyone :P

Howdy... hope this forum works out for you enwiabe, BoS just isn't for the VCE-ers.

I am only preparing two texts, possibly a liability - but they are both good texts with enough depth to see me through (I'm Not Scared & The Quiet American).
