My Project

This text will be read in my English 12 diploma program 2 (DP2) class. The topics discussed in the text will provide rich discussion and deep thinking.

This text will also provide students with material they will need when sitting for their DP2 spring written exams.

The deeper the book, the more they can write!

Students at this age are learning to form their views of the world and their opinions about themselves and society. This book provides are terrifying, but realistic, view of a world that has devolved into tyranny. The world described is eerily similar to our own. The book speculates about how humans would function within an extreme totalitarian society, where humans have no control over their lives and each is forced into submission and brutality.
