1984 and V for Vendetta offer two visions of the future: one of totalitarianism without end; the other of hope in the rise of a free society. Which will prove a more accurate prediction? Why?
In your essay, you must consider both the book(s) and today's global society. Think about some of the issues and challenges facing the world right now, including:
scientific advances
current political situations
wars
population explosion
natural resources/environmental issues
epidemics
natural disasters
nuclear holocaust
YOU MUST PROVIDE at least 5 SPECIFIC EXAMPLES from the book(s) and/or other sources (information you may have learned in other classes or from the news or from other books and articles). Direct quotes would probably strengthen your argument. You may want to spend some time researching to find some choice quotations.
YOU MAY BRING IN ONE PAGE OF HANDWRITTEN NOTES.
