select and answer at least two of the following questions below. You may use more than two questions if you wish.
- How do you define modernist literature and how does it relate to one of the readings this week?
- How do you define dystopian fiction and how does it relate to one of the readings this week?
- How do you relate our society to the dystopian author’s view of what would come of the 21st century?
- Dystopian and modernist authors often portrayed a bleak future for humanity. Do you think these concerns are relevant today? Why or Why not?
Your initial post should name the specific work(s) and use quotes or lines from the week’s readings. Be sure to acknowledge the source.
For responses to your peers, you may choose to reply to more than one student. Work to make your initial discussion post thoughtful and detailed – and respond to one or more students with the same careful thought and be specific.
- Think of how you felt reading the stories this week and then compare that with how your peer responded.
- Did you find any outside resources or did the background of the author add any additional understanding? If so, share that in your reply to peers.
Be sure to acknowledge your sources.
Due dates for your initial and response posts can be found by checking the Course Syllabus and Course Calendar.
