Is it ok to answer on only 2 of the texts we have studied?

I've noticed that often the questions say "in 2 or more of the texts you have studied."


We've barely touched My Oedipus Complex...(Im a repeat!)

you're advised to answer on 3, because its easier to get marks. but you can answer on 2, as long as you do a very good quality answer

supposedly you have to have 8 comparisons in your answer. So if you write on three texts, you only have to write four paragraphs because in each paragraph you will be using three texts hence two comparisons - only using 2 texts means you have to write eight paragraphs, which is an awful lot of different random things to write on for a comparative genre, when you can avoid this by using a third text.

My Oedipus Complex should be easy to do some work on by yourself. It wouldn't take long, and it would be very well worth it.

Howya ba. If you're just comparing 2 you'd want it to be some f**king essay! Nearly impossible to get full marks just doing 2. And you need at least 15 C's (comparisons) in the essay.
