Do Now | Connections Share out a connection between free will in the novel and one of the dystopian elements. For example, we discussed yesterday that everyone that lived El Patrón's land lacked free will because of their fear of him. While El Patrón is not necessarily the government, he doesn't represent a government type figure. So we could connect the free will of his employees to Government Control.

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.
