grassangelOkay, since I know a decent sized lot of you are avid readers, I hope that you can help me with this.
I'm currently doing a theme reading study for school and my theme is:
I have the two written texts I need as well as the two visual and I'm pondering over some oral (songs, speeches, plays, etc) that I might do. However... I need my cultural perspective.
It can be written (a book) or visual (a movie), or an oral text. I just need a cultural perspective that isn't Western or heavily influenced by the Western perspective. (My teacher suggested South America, Indian, Native American and Aboriginal cultures as widely varying from the bunch of Western texts I've got already.)
So, anyone got suggestions? It's got to tie (somehow) to the theme. (And honestly, I'm willing to take all suggestions that sound partway good)
My current choices are 'Making History' by Stephen Fry, 'The Timetraveller's wife' by Audrey Niffenegger, 'Atonement', and 'The Butterfly effect'. And yes, I am allowed to ask people for suggestions.

The interactions of people with time and their perspectives on its effect.
Time being both an intangible force and an object one can manipulate and change with ones actions.
