Extension English Text Suggestions? (15 minute Seminar) (1 Viewer)

[Pink Oni]

I have to do a 15 minute Seminar soon on a dystopic or utopic text and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions in this regard? I really want to do this on a dystopic poem, but I'm having trouble finding one ~_~

I asked my teacher if she could suggest one and she told me she'll look into it for Greek poets, but I want to get further ahead with this before I end up doing an all-nighter 15 min speech

How is a seminar formatted anyway? There's more involvement with the audience, isn't there? I think I'll like this in comparison to normal speeches, where I just seize up and nearly die... and my face twitches and weird stuff like that.

There are millions of Utopic and Dystopic texts. All you have to do is Google it, and you get three Wikipedia articles.

But just to name a few good ones:
- V For Vendetta
- Metropolis
- Jennifer Government
- Utopia
- 1984
- Gattaca
- Pleasantville

Yep, 1984 is good.

And so is Wikipedia.

Genesis .

Thanks for the suggestion of Gattaca, I never really thought of it. I'll be sure to use Wikipedia too.
