So I'm in a rush to decide on my related text because my preliminary yearlies are coming up in a few weeks
My prescribed text(s) are poems for the AOS physical journeys (not shrzynecki poems but other miscellaneous poems)
I'm having trouble deciding the following between Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Peter Shrzynecki: immigrant chronicle (I don't know whether or not this is going to make a good related text since I'm currently doing poems as a prescribed text), Lionheart or Rabbit proof fence. Could someone here please help me choose between the following
Thanks for the help guys :D

I've not read the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but I'm sure it would be a good choice. Immigrant Chronicle is a fantastic choice, very conceptual, and already studying poetry then it will be easy to link. There are heaps of resources available too ;D
The two moves are good too, though I've not studied them in depth I've seen them and both work well for Discovery conceptually. I'd personally be going for Immigrant Chronicle ;D

Hm, I was thinking of Rabbit Proof fence (I've seen it before but forgot what happened in the movie) but analysing films would be a pain because there's so many things you'll need to talk about
If I did poems then I'd have trouble composing an essay on the sport so I'd rather do related text which is easier to integrate in an essay
If I did lionheart or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn then I'd have to spend too much time reading the texts and analysing them and time is very limited for me :(
So yeah, my choices are limited (unfortunately)

If time is limited, do either a film you have seen before (Rabbit Proof Fence) or poetry (Skrzynecki). Particularly for Skzrynecki, his poems are quite punchy, it would not take you long to read them and pull some quotes out, it could easily be done in an afternoon, especially given how many resources are available for the poetry, given that it used to be on the Prescribed Text list ;D
