Hey Nadine! Welcome to the forums! ;D
Yes, they are - But don't let that scare you! You will be helping to build an awesome collection of samples and feedback, kind of like the ones you'd pay $50 for from NESA - Students can use the response and the feedback to help them improve their own writing ;D

I'm completely new to the forums! This is my first post but the title caught my eye.
I'm doing this course too, right now but I am not sure what related texts I would like. I looked over the list but did not feel much connection or interest except for The Wall picture book & Hidden Figures.
Do you think I can choose any book/novel/poetry from the time period? Does it need to be in relation to the Cold War or the bombs or can it be completely different and I could give it a twist-y connection?
I am not confident in film or visual techniques and am most comfortable with literary/prose techniques.
Hope to read the reply soon!

Hey there! It definitely does not have to be directly on the Cold War, as long as you can draw upon the ways of thinking from the time! For instance one of my prescribed texts is waiting for godot and there is no mention of communism, capitalism, bombs etc. directly, but you can draw upon the ways of thinking from the text such as devastation, existentialsim and so on. The style of text can be unusual too, such as the fact that I did a speech as a related text, JFK’s Berlin Speech to be accurate!
