For the quiz, make sure you are caught up to date on your readings, and review your notes.

Refugees will not be on the quiz but for our discussion, ensure that you have read pages 78-85 in Zealous Love on Refugees.

Lastly, your brainstorming aspect of your final project is due on Monday (make sure you get a parent signature on your project form).

Read the short story: Harrison Bergeron. The link is below or it is in the Inside Stories II book on page 175.

Respond to one of the following questions below. Your response should be a paragraph with proper quote integration (at least two) and topic and concluding sentence. One page double spaced maximum! This will be handed in for marks Wednesday! (WEDNESDAY)


1. Vonnegut's message seems to say that individual civil rights should never be sacrificed the alleged common good. Do you see examples of this in 1984? Comment on both.

2. Vonnegut shows what extraordinary strength can do: defy the laws of gravity and motion; but Vonnegut also shows that strength can be used to oppress the weak, even in the name of protecting the weak against the excesses of the strong. Is this the case in 1984? Support with examples from both.
