5 VCE English texts- as selected by you!

Hi everyone,

Please be advised that voting has closed and the five selected English texts that I will be studying this year have been finalised.

According to preferences submitted by FSN members over the past six weeks, the five most popular texts are as follows:

NOVELS
Orwell, George, Nineteen Eighty-Four (List 1, Area of Study One)
Salinger, J D, The Catcher in the Rye (List 2, Area of Study Two, Context: Exploring issues of identity and belonging)

FILM TEXTS
Look Both Ways, Directed by Sarah Watt (List 1, Area of Study One)
Witness, Directed by Peter Weir (List 2, Area of Study Two, Context: Exploring issues of identity and belonging)

PLAYS
Bolt, Robert, A Man for All Seasons
   
As stated previously, I intend to study these texts so I can not only offer support in a general sense, but offer specialised advice and guidance on the most popular texts.

I intend to study each of these texts over the next month, depending on the degree to which my personal commitments restrict me. I expect to have finished studying these texts by early March and will be available to answer questions and offer assistance when this period has elapsed.

I will provide regular updates.

Happy studying,

Nick.  :)

I can't wait to read it. I've already ordered it. It takes 12-14 days though which is an absolute pain.

That's probably not a great idea given the fact that when I study a novel, I maul it with highlights and scribble.
