If you are looking for suitable related texts for your studies of Belonging, then why not consider poetry?
Poems can be powerful and evocative. The poet plays to our emotions, drawing us into the poem's subject matter, whether it be a glimpse of the everyday, or a description of times, place or circumstances unfamiliar to us. Indeed, poets themselves are often inspired by life's shared connections, be they individual, family, community or global.
In a nutshell, they are exploring 'belonging', and their use of imagery and other techniques encourages us to connect, or 'belong' with the poem and its subject.
I encourage students to read a range of poems throughout their senior years of English.
