Dictionary Definition : Laura: Also known as "Solveig", her internet pseudonym, this female specimen of Homo Sapiens founded the Literary Cabinet world. One can spot "Laura," by the fun she has grading papers and drinking coffee, with triple coffee consumption ever since she quit smoking. Like another species, Homo Sapiens Zarasahanous, she enjoys picking at the extreme Twilight fans. This specimen is particularly fond of procrastinating, as most of the other species of the Literary Cabinet Universe are.

I am looking for short stories to take into class. Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" is already part of the programme, any other suggestions on material I could use in a unit on utopian or dystopian future scenarios?

Hey Laura!

I've been into Dystopian/Utopian works ever since I read 1984 by Orwell, and The Giver by Lois Lowry.

My favorites:

- Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut

- The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula le Guinne
- http://mrhughesapenglish.blogspot.com/2007/10/ones-who-walked-away-from-omelas-text.html
[I'm sorry I couldn't find a better link, but this is all I could find]

-The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster

If you want a full list of Dystopian literature, Wikipedia has a good one:

Dictionary Definition : Kelsey-- Frequently called "Kels," this female specimen of Homo Sapiens belongs to the Literary Cabinet universe. Although she is a young member, she has shown her maturity to be above other species, sometimes. "Kelsey" can behave quite crazy in her own right. One of her most noticeable traits is paranoia and knowledge of trolls.

"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., rocked my world. If this is for your high school kids, that's definitely a good choice.
