Hello it's me again
I've done some investigating and found a few potential ORTs for 'The Motorcycle Diaries':
'The histrionic wayfarer (after Bosch)' (painting) by Tim Storrier
'The Road Not Taken' (poem) by Robert Frost
'Invictus' (poem) by W.E. Henley
'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' (poem) by Dr. Seuss.
Could someone possibly recommend for/against one of these? I'm stumped

I don't know about any of these, except the Dr. Seuss one, but I do have some advice: If you're in the graduating class of 2016, choose whichever you can learn and understand in the shortest time possible. 7 days until the exam! Woohoo!

Hello. Eng is in a week what do you say about having related texts for AOS and Mod C? Do you really think we should have 2-3?

Hey! It depends a bit on how you use them. You can get by with one ORT for both for sure, if you've picked well and you can blend it with both areas nicely. Most people will have one from each and that does them nicely. I would suggest that 2 is probably the best number!! If you need a second ORT for AoS, just use one of your unseen texts. If you need a second one for Module C, just use your ORT for AoS :D

No! I definitely don't think having 3 is necessary, I hardly think two is necessary! I only prepared one for each (in fact, it was the same text for both) and went in with that in my study mind. I knew my related text really well, and was confident that I could sustain an argument with just one related text. In the scenario that they would ask me for two related texts in AOS, I decided I would use one of the unseen texts as a related text.

Elyse represents 'Distant Lands' by Tim Winton to everyone, but it might be a bit tricky to find on such short notice :P some poems that might be good ideas you can see here! Good luck! ;D
