Dystopian Blog Chris Bertrand
The primary text I think I'll be going with is Lord of the Flies. I think everyone is pretty familiar with this text from high school, but the material previously covered was about symbolism or something of that sort.. This text is a good representation of a dystopia because the story line develops a chaotic, unruly group of kids who decent into a very unorganized, lawless group of kids. I'm leaning more towards a Marxist theory paper, I think this lense "fits" best. No research done yet bu I'm pretty sure there will be an abundance of sources to cite.

Righting about a dystopia of Lord of the Flies is a good choice. A lot of us have read the book, but it would be good to see a different take of the book with the thought of a dystopia in mind. I also agree that a Marxist approach would work.
