Thanks to all who responded to my original query for short stories with
Utopian/Dystopian themes. Here are the responses:
Harrison Bergeron, by Kurt Vonnegut
The One Who Walks Away from Omelas (Ursula Le Guin)
By the Waters of Babylon by Stephen Vincent Benet.
Shirley Jackson's The Lottery
Welcome to the Monkey House, also by Vonnegut--Note: sexual references--may not be
doable in 8th grade.
Again, thanks to all respondents. The eighth grade Language Arts teacher who wanted
this list is thrilled, and much impressed by your knowledge and quick response.
What a wonderful resource you all are!
