Do you guys have any recommendations on a related text for Aos which could also work and help with module C?
Not sure if this helps but my core text for Aos is short history of nearly everything and for mod c it is brave new world.

Thanks!

I know Jamon just mentioned it above, but Humans of New York works magnificently across Module C (for politics and landscapes) and AOS. When looking at HONY, look specifically at series. Here's the link to the series posted. Some gel better with politics and some gel better with landscapes. In my opinion, it's a seriously good related text that's underused!

Hi again,

Thanks for the kind recommendation, will definitely look into it some more. Seeing that individual stories are quite short, would it work to talk about multiple stories in our essay?

Also, some of the Tropfest short films were made known to me to be a text to analyse. If I were to pick up another related text, do you have an idea on which ones work with discovery?

Thanks for your help!

I didn't study your texts, but i realised half way through studying 'Candide' by Voltaire for Mod C ORT that I could have used it for discovery as well.

You can definitely talk about multiple photos from a series. In fact, you could talk about different photos from different series, or you could just keep it in the one series. You've got text and visuals to work with, which is why I think HONY is a strong choice.

I haven't been keeping up with Tropfest recently, but I know that a few years ago they had the theme/symbol of "key" and I remember looking at some of these in class and finding them to be very relevant. Perhaps that's a good starting point :)

Hi Elyse,

When it comes to related text for discoevry I like to cover a broad range of themes that relate to discovery along with different forms.
However I have realised that finding a good painting or photograph that has an obvious representation of disocovery is a bit difficult. Nevertheless, I did manage to find this image by Rembrant called "Belshazzar's Feast".
I have attached it below. Could you have a look at it and tell me if it is a good painting to use...and if it isn't, do you have any that you recommend?

Thanks heaps,
Samuel
