I'm studying Beckett's Waiting for Godot, Ishiguro's AOTFW and Plath's poetry (I will get to reading what you posted on my new thread) and have yet to choose my related texts (will read the appropriate blog post for that too). Since I haven't really honed in on a certain country/decade yet I'm still really open to exploring any of the areas you suggested above. If you have any additional suggestions that you're willing to share I'd be more than happy to check them out!
Thank for all your help this far :)

In terms of philosophy/ideology, I think it would be worth writing down a palm card worth of notes for each of the following: nihilism, existentialism, philosophical notion of Other, capitalism, socialism, Marxism, capitalism, gender in Western world, second wave feminism, black civil rights movement, homosexuality in USA (Watch: Milk. or research: Harvey Milk). I think this will give you a really good idea about the notions that relate to your texts, and the last two suggestions kind of just play into the surrounding contexts. If I think of more ideas...I'll let you know! But the texts I suggested on the other thread will play into this as well ^ :)

Noble savage is a stock literary character that represents someone who has not been corrupted by society. So, this character usually represents the pure or innate goodness of humans, and this character is usually a beacon of contrast to the corrupting circumstances of plot. It's a bit of an oxymoron - noble savage. In relation to romanticism, research the concept of primitivism and how the innate goodness of a noble savage can represent that.
As for tablerosso - I've never heard the term unfortunately! I can't even find it on google - where have you heard it?

I wrote a list of related texts I used in the HSC for ATB at different points in the year, this might be helpful for you :)

Hi, I'm still not really sure how to use ATAR notes, but I was hoping to get some advice on where to find quotes from philosophers etc? Our teacher hasn't explained to us how to or where we're supposed to be gathering these additional bits of info from, so if you could help out, that'd be great :)
