General overview:
•
You select “body of work” to explain the relevance of the GI in specific moments from other points in the work you have chosen.
•
You must consider “how is the GI relevant to the work as a whole” and “what are some characteristics that the author uses (repetition, symbolism, theme) to demonstrate the relevance of your GI throughout the work.”
Steps for selecting wider work:
1.
Re-read your chosen extracts for the two works.
2.
Consider analyzing the title, different characters, motifs, moments that contrast with the extract in the body of work that relate to the global issue.
3.
Choose for 3-4 different sections in the body of work that offers a deeper and/or another insight to the global issue.
For literary text:
•
Position in plot: If the extract was chosen from the resolution of the literary work, choose at least 1 moment from the exposition, and 2 others from rising action and/or climax. The same logic applies if the extract was chosen from either the exposition or climax of the work.
•
Character focus: If the extract focuses on the protagonist, choose at least 1 moment that focuses on another character (showing how GI affects multiple characters in the work renders analysis more insightful).
•
Authorial choice: Mention different moments from the body of work that utilizes the same authorial choice from the extract.
Tip: For instance, if you analysed the use of dialogue (among other authorial choices) involving the protagonist in your extract, select another moment from the body of work where a dialogue involving the antagonist communicates the GI.
For non-literary text:
•
Photographs/artworks/cartoons: Select 3 different texts from the same author that provide a varied perspective of the GI. Either choosing works with a completely different context or different set of techniques to that of the extract work best.
•
Music videos/Movies/Short films: If the extract was chosen from the middle of the film, choose at least 1 moment from the beginning and end. The same logic applies if the extract was chosen from either the beginning or end of the work.
Tip: Do not analyze each moment in the body of work as deeply as you did for the extract. In the body of work, focus demonstrating how the author consistently engages with the GI throughout the work.
Since your teacher doesnt have a copy of the body of work that you are referring to, describe the context in which different moments from the work is happening.
