Module C - People & Landscapes - Related Text

[frog1944]

Hi,

What should I look for in a related text for Module C? We're doing people and landscapes, and we're looking at Judith Wright's poetry. I was contemplating using one of Nolan's Batman films, and investigate the relationship between Gotham and Batman/Inhabitants.

Thanks

I think a good tip is to consider how many landscapes are shown in the text and what types: remembered? imagined? real? Then when you're working out how it relates to your prescribed text, consider the attitudes the characters have towards these texts. This will likely be a point of discussion for you in the essay: why does one character look fondly upon a remembered landscape and the other with disdain? This is where your discussion about relationships comes from

You could basically pick anything as anything can be considered as a land scape so long as you can explain it properly.

Hi! I have a quick question regarding using one of Wordsworth's poems as a related text for Art of Travel. My teachers said that since de Botton already references Wordsworth in one of his essay, its not good to use his poems as a related text. What are your thoughts?

Ok just a quick answer here because I'm a bit rushed

You can if you want, but you need to proceed with a lot more caution than you normally would otherwise you could lock yourself into a continuous loop. Adding to this, if your analysis of the Wordsworth RT is similar to De Bottons than the marker might assume you are just quoting without quotation marks and penalise you a) for not using quotation marks and b) for not using a related text.

So you can do it, but honestly it is not worth it. Some suggestions are:
Distant Lands - Tim Winton
Ode to A Nightingale - Keats
The Rabbits - Shaun Tan and John Marsden

Hey thanks for the reply! I'm actually doing Ode to A Nightingale right now but I'm having some difficulties in coming up with similar thematic ideas between Keat's poem and de Botton's The Art of Travel. Do you have any ideas that are in both texts?

Hey that's ok Glad to see someones doing the same RT!
Hmm.. There is definitely something there because I remember doing it. I think when DB was banging on about trees and clouds is similar to Keats' speech about the birds. Also there is certainly some life vs death connotations that can relate both of them.
Both Keats and DB can also immerse themselves (?) into the landscape - using it as a stress relief and unwind from the busy, urbanised, constantly changing world around them. Humans live and die, and soon enough all of humanity will die but nature is permanent and still the nightingales will sing and the trees stand.

Check your PM's this afternoon because I have an awesome analysis sheet!!
Hope I helped!!

Thanks for sharing Studybuddy

No problems, but I haven't shared it yet

P.S. I am completely at a loss of how to post it here (in the notes it would easily get lost) as I don't know how to post pictures in posts? I used to so I know it can be done I just forget

You have to use the "reply" button that is either at the top or bottom of the page, rather than using the quick reply to add attachments

Hey everyone (yeah i'm a freshie),
I'm doing Mod C Representing people and landscapes with 10 canoes as my prescribed text. I'm looking for a related text which contrasts the ideas shown in 10 canoes such as the landscape as healer, provider, teacher, enduring culture through moral storytelling, transience of time and spiritual connection to land. This is so i can broaden my discussion of peoples relationship with the land, not just positive and romantic. Perhaps a text which is nonspiritual and explores the dull nature of city life and the effect of the concrete jungle on people. Anti-romantic (haha)
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Also we have a prepared essay requiring us to to show how the relationship between people and landscape reveals how the past effects the present. Any ideas?

does anyone have suggestions for a related text for Judith? I'm hoping to look into speeches, extract or essay ?

Really really love the short stories:
Shoes - Etgar Keret
Barefoot Bridge - Randa Jarrar

Which could work well for both discovery and people and politics! Unfortunately I only discovered these texts in my first semester of uni. If I had known about the earlier, I probably would have used them myself!
