I loved it. It wasn't until years later that a Lit teacher suggested I read 1984, and years after that before I stumbled across anything else dystopian, but once I started to look it quickly became my favorite genre. I re-read this story that fascinated me so much as a child again a year or two ago and it was just as impressive as I remembered. It will always be a hallmark of the genre in my mind! Thanks for the reminder.Meadowlark Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684537248614492144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027336217071171374.post-13513000012225193202011-02-18T17:53:33.488-08:002011-02-18T17:53:33.488-08:00Thank-you so much for describing this story - I...Thank-you so much for describing this story - I've been looking for this for years - read it in a random reader in between classes in highschool.

I definitely remember it from the description though. Makes me think of my favorite quote from Frank Herbert's Dosadai Experiment: All beings are inherently unequal. The best societies allow everyone an equal chance to float at their own level. (paraphrase) It's something I don't think this society understands - not everyone is born with the same abilities. The Constitution only guarantees that we are all equal under the law. Too bad the rich and the poor not only don't have equal opportunities, they don't seem so equal under the law either.Cara Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521345373886411082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027336217071171374.post-62578275481504969872010-03-26T15:51:01.187-07:002010-03-26T15:51:01.187-07:00Leave it to Kurt V. to make you think and shudder....Leave it to Kurt V. to make you think and shudder.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027336217071171374.post-14168992064210870262010-03-21T09:06:13.407-07:002010-03-21T09:06:13.407-07:00Hi, just wanted to let you know you've won a B...Hi, just wanted to let you know you've won a Beautiful Blogger Award.
