    Couple of posts down from this there's a thread titled: English Comparative - help.

    A few posts down there's an essay comparing Babylon & Casablanca. :) - theme of love. Points are good.. Regardless of phrasing, etc.

    Good luck. :)

    & bump that thread if you wouldn't mind. :)

    It's impossible to get. In fact, I'd like to know where your teacher got it!

    Go and read it again or at least get summaries, it's short.

    he ordered it from america... and it is possible to get it but i'm a teen so i hardly ever have money :/ and i tried the summaries and stuff but it didn't have everything... like in my mocks the scene where alex tells alicia he's joining the ranks came up and i didn't know it and i'm not into reading books i'd be able to take in way more information by watching it...

    You're doing OL then? I think you'll find a lot of people are not "into reading books". However, it has to be done for your LC; it's the novel you're studying, not a film of it. Go back and read it.

    I'm doing Hamlet as one of the texts for my comparative. It's not too bad, at least you don't have to go into as much detail as with the main text.

    Also, check your local library to see if they have the movies you need, I found films for all 3 of my comparative texts (mind you, one is just a film)

    Thank you for confirming that your sex life is imaginary, but really, none of us are interested.
