As times change, values and ideas often change as they are invariably shaped by their context. However, some remain constant throughout time and are universal. The 1592 Shakespearean drama Richard III and Al Pacino 's 1995 docu-drama Looking for Richard [LFR] were written four hundred years apart yet both texts address perpetual values and ideas that are common to both eras. Through a simultaneous study of both texts, the responder is able to understand the influence of context on aspects of the…

My major work If… is a short story exploring notions of familial relationships, ultimately enforcing the value of parents and the unchanging love families give.

What makes a story great? According to many, it all depends on characterisation and keeping the plot originally fascinating. There are also various integrals that help support these aspects of a “great story” which are thoroughly arranged in The Swimmer and Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? The first story listed is by John Cheever and tells the tale of a man journeying to retain his youth, but in the end, loses more than he realises. Ironically enough, this is similar to what the…

The film Still Alice, directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland is able to show the impact of having Alzheimers. This is revealed through the emotional and physical impact it has on sufferer Alice, the effect on everyday life and the influence it has on families. The directors convey this through the use of camera movement, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing techniques.

To what extent have the writers of TWO prescribed texts that you have studied in class and two texts of your own choosing achieved this?

Characters in the two texts play an important role in expressing the limited freedoms and rights of women and the societal conventions they are expected to adhere to. These issues are…
