Question

Throughout history, literature has been used as a form of protest. Choose two selections from this unit and explain why they can be thought of as protest literature. Discuss each selection in its own complete paragraph.

Answer 1

You're going to be writing two paragraphs. Both of these paragraphs are going to be about pieces of literature that have been used as a form of protest against something. Example, it can be argued that the novel 1984 by George Orwell is a protest against a totalitarian mindset because, in his novel, society is horribly oppressed under a totalitarian government. Once you've found your first example, write what this piece of literature is protesting against and why you think that way. Give examples from the piece. 

Example again: 
Feed by M.T. Anderson protests against the the overindulgence of technology. His novel takes place in the future where computers have gone from laptops to chips placed into your brain. Text talk is now a spoken language and everyone's lives centre around shopping because of ad. Everybody does this except one girl, who never shops for anything and speaks proper English. Anderson depicts the text talkers in a bad light and makes the one girl who doesn't as the heroine and the one we should be admiring. This is an example of Anderson's protest.
