Do you think I could use "The Matrix Trilogy" as 1 related text or would I only be allowed to use an individual movie as 1 related text ?

btw this is for The Inner Journey

If you're going to use The Matrix as your related text, you need to pick one of the three, I'm doing physical journeys so I can't help you with the text choice, but if you can find the meaning of the inner journey, then i guess you can use it for your essay.

Another trilogy you could think about is The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, BUT only concentrate on Gollum/Smeagal, how he has manifested and changed into this ugly creature we all know and love ** from a simple hobbit.

if gollum is not your type, then either frodo or sam would be an equally good alternative choice to concentrate on. sam moreso...

okay..i dont even know if this is going to work...im kinda a new commer to this whole "bored of studies" thinggie!
so here goes....
we are doing imaginative journeys for our area of study! it is possibly the worst thing that has ever happened in my life.
i have a good english teacher...but she just dosnt seem to get through to me...and i have totally missed everything from the BOS journeys booklet!! also, she didnt explain much on the context of coleridge or his life!! so i think im pretty much screwed...unless i can do some mega cramming before the trials and half yearlys!!
anyway...im not sure if this will work..so if someone can give me any sign that it has...i will love you to death!
xox
