Discussion Questions for the Theme of Dystopian Novels

Here are a few questions I came up with. These could be used in class at the high school level. Most of them will need a brief background lecture before asking.

1. What makes a story a Dystopian tale?
-Describe the typical plot and story line.

2. How did these story lines start?
-Is there historical significance to the cause of these stories?

3. List some ways that people are controlled in these stories.
-Is one way better than the other?

4. Is there cause that you can think of to write a dystopian novel now? For example, any political happenings that could create such a society?
