Hi ATARNotes perusers/contributors,

I am desperate for advice on a related text, as I really cannot seem to find one. Help!
My prescribed text is King Henry IV (Pt. 1), and I'm currently studying Module C: Representing People and Politics.

Thanks in advance.

Hey! V for Vendetta could be worth a look! It's a reasonably recent film that explores themes of politics, totalitarianism, control and rebellion in a modern context. I used it in the same option in Module C and it worked really well for me!!

Hey! So I unfortunately didn't study that text specifically (we did Wag the Dog - even if you don't have to study it I highly recommend having a watch because it's actually an incredible film), but I did study the Representing People and Politics topic for Module C. Candide by Voltaire worked really well as a related text for me, as did the Evil Empire Speech by Ronald Reagan. You'll probably have to look a little bit into seeing if these texts relate thematically to King Henry the IV, but overall I can definitely vouch for them as fantastic Mod C relateds

Thank you both! All these suggestions sound great, I will be sure to check them out.

Though I did Wag the Dog for Module C, the basis of the texts (Wag and Henry IV) are very similar ie. the themes/challenges. The relateds I used was a published essay and article which seeks to examine themes of politics, control and collusion in the modern age. These would be great, as they are different from the standard novel/movie/poem relateds most people choose, and as real life examples make the judgements you make when analysing Henry IV more poignant and up for real consideration.
These texts are:
‘How the Media Became One of Putin’s Most Powerful Weapons’ by Jill Dougherty from The Atlantic which considers the nature of political motivations and actions that centre on subterfuge and deflecting the truth under the guise of protectionism through state propaganda, and the dichotomy and irony spawned by such objectives (corruption of self and the narrative of truth)
‘Enemies Everywhere: Terrorism, Moral Panic, and US Civil Society’ (Rothe,D. Muzzatt) which examines moral panic created by the media under government directives (totalitarian efforts of control) in post 9/11 period to secure political ambitions of maintaining power in appealing to fear- thus conveying the destructiveness of political ambitions executed through elusive actions.

Hi

When choosing a related text it is crucial that it covers the whole Module C rubric and links very well in terms of politics for Brave New World

For Brave New World, I'd suggest texts such as Gattaca (film), blade runner (film), harrison bergenon (short story) or V for Vendetta

Best of luck

I'd also recommend V for Vendetta! And, I've just found an essay I wrote on Brave New World and V for Vendetta in Year 11 (it's not amazing, there's no conceptualisation, but the evidence and analysis is on point) - I'll upload it to the Notes section now and let you know when it appears!

I'm personally using Snowden though.
