I am writing a Language & Literature Category 3 Extended Essay in which I analyze political victory speeches. My question will be "to what extent does X impact Y?", but I fear that the answer will be "not at all" or "barely." Will not finding anything hurt my essay? TLDR: LangLit Cat3 EE discovers nothing

Hey everyone. I am an IB student from Mexico which means my first language is Spanish. My second language is English. I love to read books that are originally written in english most of the time, so for my extended essay I was planning on doing an analysis on Cersei Lannister's internalized misogyny, from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, which is a book written in english. I asked my teacher if my topic fell into the Group 1 category if I used the translated books for the analysis and she said YES.

Hey guys! (this is my first post). We're starting to narrow in our extended essay topics in school now and so far I have chosen English Lang. & Lit.

So can a

Hello guys! (new to the forum, first post!) I'm going to start my second year of IB soon and I'm thinking of changing my topic ( I know..). My first topic was in World studies but I did not have a supervisor that fit my subject choices. So my second option has always been Group 1 in English Language and Culture (so thats category 3).
