I prepared a really good essay with just one related that way I had more analysis, i also used two Skrzynecki poems so i was pretty pissed when it said TWO. I just then wrote out my essay then included one of the texts from section one into my essay.

It was the same with all my assessments, they all required at least one but never said two

Better to do one related well, rather than two poorly.

I did one related because i couldn't be bothered :rolleyes:
English not gonna count for me anyways.

We got told to do one, lucky though when I went in there and saw 2 I thought of King Lear as another text and used that. Definitely corrupt bulls*it though!

Its good to have more than 1 anyway... They say that if you only do one, you need to do everything in great detail. You can still get a good mark, however it needs to be really good.

na, pretyt sure when you only do one related text when they ask for TWO, that's a guaranteed 2-3 mark deduction.

i mean ffs, that's like 1/4 of your essay missing.

If you are curious, read the BOS notes from the marking centre from a past year...

I'm pretty sure you can't use a prescribed text. Or maybe you can't use AOS prescribed text. I dunno

But we have always been told at least two, maybe 3. Every assessment has been two related texts.

yup, you can't use prescribed texts from other modules as your related texts.
