1) Are we allowed to read books that other people in our class have already chosen?
2) Can religion be incorporated with dystopian novels?
3) Are there romance dystopian novels in the 20th century better than now?

Today my group, Jessica, Feliex, Mike and I, decided to read the books 1Q84, Haruki Murami and The Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens. It took us a while to figure what books we wanted because none of the synopses caught our attention immediately. What bothered us the most about our discussion, is how we would split up the reading, and how we're going to get a hold of several copies of the books. After a while, we came to the conclusion of one pair will read the modern book, and the other pair will read the old book.

Could you tell me more about what novels you have been considering and why? What about your own learning around dystopia - what are your thoughts so far?
ReplyDeleteYou may read any novels you like - just understand why you have chosen them. Will they contribute to your understanding of the appeal of dystopian themes? As for romance and religion, you must first decide if these are dystopian qualities and then you must read some synopses to find the literature that interests you for your studies on dystopia.
