In the light of the above statement, compare the general vision and viewpoint in at least two texts you have studied in your comparative course.
Throughout my study of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Sive by John B.Keane and Casablanca directed by Michael Curtiz, there was no doubt that each text presented me with an outlook on life which shaped my general vision and view point to either one of positivity or in many cases, negativity.
