timtamboy63 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Your world lit texts are given to you by your school I think. If they gave you Macbeth as a word lit text (which I doubt?), then you can.Is Like Water for Chocolate one of your world lit texts? If so, then you can do that for WL2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
master135 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) If I remember correctly in world literature 2 papers I think you can use 1 non-world it book (not fully sure). So if "Like Water For Chocolate" is under your world lit books list then I think it should be fine to compare it to Macbeth.

You might be thinking about the language requirements for the English EE. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serene Z Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Say for world lit 2 I wish to compare macbeth and Like Water For Chocolate. can i do this for 2a?Which country are you from? In the English speaking countries, Macbeth cannot be considered as a world lit. text because it's originally written in English. World lit. texts are originally written in a language foreign to the country you're doing your IB diploma in, but translated into English. For example, I'm from Australia and I read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which was originally written in Spanish.

timtamboy63 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Pro, I'm pretty sure that master is correct, we got told the same thing. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proletariat Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Pro, I'm pretty sure that master is correct, we got told the same thing.Strange, my teacher insisted on the two works both being World Lit. I'll chalk it up to the curriculum change, or perhaps a slip of judgment on her part. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
master135 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Just to be sure for anyone in doubt - I just verified my previous statement from the language A1 syllabus (99): "Assignment 2a is a comparative study based on an aspect of one World Literature workand one Language A1 work, chosen from any part of the school’s syllabus."
