The Animals in that Country, Margaret Atwood In that country the animals have the faces of people: the ceremonial cats possessing the streets the fox run politely to earth, the huntsmen standing around him, fixed in their tapestry of manners the bull, embroidered with blood and given an elegant death, trumpets, his name stamped on him, heraldic brand because (when he rolled on the sand, sword in his heart, the teeth in his blue mouth were human) he is really a man even the wolves, holding resonant conversations in their forests thickened with legend. In this country the animals have the faces of animals. Their eyes flash once in car headlights and are gone. Their deaths are not elegant. They have the faces of no-one. Poetry Annotations + Discussion Read the poem aloud to the class.

éPortfolio Submission FormCourse DescriptionThis course investigates stories of Totalitarian and post-apocalyptic societies in order to better understand topics relevant in our current society. We will read one dystopian novel as a group and then each student will select a second dystopian novel to analyze individually. We will break down the five characteristics of dystopian literature and research how those characteristics might already be happening in the world around us—government control, environmental destruction, technological control, survival, and loss of individualism.
