Table of content

Alright, let's delve into the fascinating world of texts, literary passages, and global issues!

What are we selecting?

You will be selecting passages from two types of works:

  • A literary text, like a novel, poem, or play.
  • A non-literary work, like a blog, piece of journalism, or even a film.

Guidelines for selecting literary passages

Choose a 40-line maximum literary passage that is related to a global issue. Keep in mind that the global issue won't be the main plot of the book but rather a component of its larger, intricate story.

 

For example, you could choose a passage from "To Kill a Mockingbird" where Atticus Finch is defending Tom Robinson. Here, the global issue can be 'Racial Injustice'.

Guidelines for selecting non-literary passages

The process is a bit different for non-literary works. For text-heavy works like blogs, limit it to a maximum of 40 lines. For visual works like films, "lines" don't apply, and you'll need to choose an "amount" of content that is feasible for analysis.

 

For instance, if you're choosing a film, you might select a particular scene that symbolizes 'Environmental Degradation'.
