Hi guys, I have a question regarding the Area of Study Section III. The question would always say refer to your "prescribed text". Well, my prescribed text is Immigrant Chronicle by Peter Skrzynecki and I generally use two poems in my response. Now, the teachers always say that you should treat each text equally.
So if I talk about two poems that counts as one text right? So does that mean I don't have to treat the poems as if they were two different texts? In other words do I need to go into that extra depth for each poem (as if they were separate texts) like the Stimulus text and related text? The reason I ask this is because I find that I treat the two poems as two separate texts (in terms of depth) and end up writing twice the detail on Peter Skrzynecki than each of the other texts. (hence ending up with at least 4 texts to talk about rather than 3 as with other prescribed [non-poetry] texts)
