9th grade students study dystopian fiction

The ninth grade students at Woodstock Union High School began their school year with an all-too-relevant topic: dystopian fiction. In this ebook compilation, you will find short stories, chapter excerpts, and works of art that relate to the utopian and dystopian literary genres, all penned by Woodstock Union High School English I students. In their stories, you’ll notice a glimmer of hope--that one individual can disrupt even the most oppressive societies, and can make change through rebellious acts, like writing in a journal, sacrificing oneself for others, or daring to love during a time of great peril. You will find evidence that even in the darkest of times, both real and imagined, there is always hope for better times ahead. Enjoy!
