jonnamaria Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Good day! I am currently thinking about my extended essay topic, I would like to write it in English B. Though, I am wondering if I can write about literature in the B course? I would love to write about how George R.R Martin depicts feminism vs. anti-feminism in the A Song of Ice and Fire books, but I am not sure if I will be able to. Can I choose to write about literature in the English B course? (I have HL) In case I can, will I be able to choose to only have one novel, or will I need another novel to compare with? Very grateful for any answer. Jonna Edited September 16, 2014 by jonnamaria Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Yes, you are allowed to write about literature. This would be category 3 for a Group 2 EE. The main requirement is that at least one of the works must have been originally written in English (which ASOFAI was). You can either do just this one novel, or compare it to another novel. If you choose to include another novel, it does not have to have been originally written in English, but you need to work with an English translation of the book.
