just wondering if atar notes could provide resources on Macbeth.
As on the leaflet of Edunlimited there is a guide resource on Macbeth, i sign up for it but the book is not present.
Just wondering when will the book be out.
Also for the resource of QCE physics as well.
it will be extremely helpful.
thanks.

Welcome to the forums :)
I can't speak to when texts will be available but you can get physics help here. If there are any topics you're particularly keen to have resources for let me know & I'll do my best to help.
I know this doesn't really answer your questions, but I hope it helps regardless.

Hi e_grace
Glad I am not doing this topic until next year. Sadly, I have to read the great Gatsby :(
I read some interesting articles the other day on nuclear power in Australia might be interesting

Another topic could be mandatory vaccinations. I did mine this year on mandatory detention and found lots of valuable information.
I hope this helps.

Hey there, we will absolutely have the Macbeth Text Guide out in the next couple of weeks! The QCE Physics Notes are also coming soon, and should be out by the end of the year. We'll also make these available on EdUnlimited asap! :)

These are really awesome suggestions - thank you tinglewood! :D
I hope Great Gatsby isn't too much of a slog for you, haha! There are some great lines in that book that are kinda fun to analyse! And it'd be an amazing text to use as the basis for your creative internal assessment if possible :D

Hi everyone!
Last week I go my english assignment which poses the task to write a digital essay analysing the representation of the American Dream across both Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and the documentary Park Avenue, Money, Power and the American Dream. We have to pick one concept to focus our analysis on and I am trying to decide between class and power. I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on or tips on two concepts to help me come to a decision.
Thanks!

Hi Emily!
That sounds like a great assignment, and tbh either of those two topics would be excellent starting points. In general, I think 'power' would be a more broad focal point and would let you talk about a wider range of ideas (e.g. how disempowerment can affect societies, or how being beholden to others allows them to have power over you - like Daisy over Gatsby and Myrtle over Tom, and maybe even Gatsby over Nick). This would certainly let you touch on themes like class disparity too, but you wouldn't be limited to just that.
On the other hand, class is more specific and could be better if you have LOTS of examples that are related to class/wealth/society. It also sounds like that documentary is more focused on class, so this might be a more suitable choice if you'd prefer something that's a key focus in both texts.
Perhaps just make some dot point lists for both texts about the major concepts and examples you would want to refer to in your digital essay, and then you can survey the lists and decide what is most relevant to you.
Personally, I think power is a more interesting theme in Gatsby that lets you look at a bunch of interesting elements of the novel, but it sounds like class would be more appropriate given your text combination, and it would also probably allow you to craft a more focused essay, so that would be my recommendation :)
Good luck with your assignment!
