Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Write an essay that makes and defends a claim about the use of Los Angeles as a setting in Legend. Support your ideas with evidence from the text.

Essay Topic 2

Dystopias were originally written mostly for adult audiences. Over time, more and more dystopias have been marketed to tweens and teenagers, and few are written for adults these days. Write an essay in which you explore why this might be; your essay should not be about yourself and your own reading interests, but should instead offer insights into what makes dystopian fiction especially appealing to younger audiences in general. If you use outside sources as support, cite them in MLA format.

Essay Topic 3

Write an essay that analyzes how distinct June's and Day's narrative voices are: that is, do they "sound" like different people as they each narrate, or do their voices sound too similar? Support your ideas with quoted textual evidence.
