Asim Datye Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I was searching up random books for my English EE (still no clue on what to choose; the cycle of like/dislike keeps repeating) and I found dystopian novels actually very interesting. I'm worried that they're overused however; it seems very easy to do an EE on them. In addition, an examiner's report (http://extendedessays.wikispaces.com/file/view/English+A1+EE+Examiner+Report+M11.pdf) pointed out dystopian novels as a "familiar path". Is the core of the matter that I just have to find an imaginative topic? Or should I avoid these novels entirely? The Giver sounds good but I'm pretty sure many people already did their EE on it. You guys know of any other significant dystopian novels? A book that combines a good read as well as literary significance is like the Holy Grail for me (I found Gathering Blue to be easy to read but not of much literary significance). It's also quite short. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flotat Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 My EE was on this as wellYou can use the handmaid's tale, I didn't use it, but it was strongly recommended by my English I just didn't feel like reading three books so iI didn't use it. I'm currently reading it though just for fun and its great. You must know 1884 too, that one is a good one and the classic Brave new world by Aldous Huxley so many themes in there ...good luck 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asim Datye Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yeah Brave New World and 1984 is apparently a good comparison and been done. Thanks for the luck; I'm sure I'll need it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
