They each have there own stories and journeys, but when writing the essay I'd suggest you focus on the common issue they share (which are typical of individuals in the globalised context ie. loneliness, isolation, disconnection with self and milieu) and show how this effects them individually through examples. For example Charlottes visit to the temple and Bob's whisky ad should convey this disconnection with ones environment and thus self (as individuals are formed by their context) due to language barriers and disjunction with perceptions and reality largely due to cultural differences. It is important to make reference to the environment of Tokyo and what that means in their journey, and how their relationship enables the to anchor themselves in a constantly changing environment (typical description of modernity) by focusing on finding human connection and purpose via their relationship. In essence they both help each other on their similar paths of navigating the global- so focus on common ideas and then their individual examples to effectively convey an analysis :) hope this helps!

Ohhh! Thank you so much! So it would be best to analyse their scenes seperately in terms of technique and such then link the ideas together and then to globalisation?

Yep definately! That would be the strongest option to create a cohesive and integrated essay that is linked to Nav the global (with your ideas being ones that fit within the ideas of the module). Good luck :)

Is anyone studying Denise Levertov's poems for Navigating? I'm just having trouble finding info about her and each poem's context, does anyone know some useful sources?

Hi guys,
Just wondering what a good related text would be for this unit? I was thinking Fasting, Feasting by Anita Desai however a TSFX lecturer told me when in regards to Advanced English the markers like the related texts to be of a different medium, is it the same for Extension?
My core texts are:
- White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
- Lost in Translation
- Journey to the Stone Country by Alex Miller
Thanks!

Hi Anna! I didn't study this module so I'm a little limited in the recommendation department. But I can say something about the different medium types for prescribed and related...
Don't necessarily take that advice as the 100% case for all markers. There's nothing in the FAQ on NESA to say this is the case, and there is a whole section dedicated to related text selection. I think the benefit of choosing different text types is showing your prowess across different literary mediums. But, for my Advanced Module C I had a novel as my prescribed, and chose a short story as my related - and because they were both in written form I found it very easy and smooth to relate certain techniques, or the contrast different techniques, across the two.
For example, I talked about how they both used the limited omniscient narrator in both texts but how it lead to very different representations of circumstances.
I know this wasn't the question you asked, but I hope it gives you some information to think about :)
