    Right I may have discussed this before but here goes.

    Is it possible to use Death of a salesman as my single text, and Macbeth as the comparitive even though I am covering them in reverse order in class?

    I checked the list on skool.ie for 2007, and it is fine to use the combination I want, but is there any major differences or details I should know about when using Death of a salesman as a single text, as up to this point it was my comparitive.

    To cut to the point, what do I need to know for Death of a salesman as a single text, and is it realistic to switch at this stage.
    I would be much more comfortable with DOS as a single text rather than Macbeth.

    My friend used Death of a Salesman as the Single Text answer in our Mocks the other day, he ws left with trying to compare How Many Miles to Babylon with Macbeth...which he had no idea about. I'm sure you could do it, but it'd requir going over all of Death of a Salesman in a lot more detail, not just key scenes to compare. As I'm not doing DoS for a stand-alone text, I cant say what ya need to know unfortunately

    ^^Is that not difficult? I know it would have been for my mate because, well, we havent compared them before. On the day of an exam isnt the time to be thinking about how to compare something totally new
