It is about a Black family, the Logans, that goes thru terrible racism in Missippi (I think?). They are the only black family that owns their own land, and are very proud of it. Many things happen during the book, including other Black families being lynched and killed, and one of their friends, TJ, gets in trouble with some white kids who use him as a "plaything."

The themes of the book are traditional verses change; savagery and courage...any of these ideas can fit into which ever theme you are focusing on.\n\nPretend that you are a newspaper reporter looking for stories in colonial Africa, and you have arrived in Umuofia just after Okonkwo’s burial.  You have already interviewed all the major characters connected with the events leading up to Okonkwo’s death.  Write a profile of Okonkwo for your newspaper, describing his personality, his life and his tragic end.  Include quotations from at least three people you interviewed, such as Ekwefi, Ezinma, Nwoye and Obierika, showing their individual views on Okonkwo.  Thus, tailor the interviews around the theme.  You could have a full news team~ anchor, co-anchor, field reporters, etc.\n\nAchebe originally planned for Things Fall Apart as the first part of a longer novel, which would have shown Nwoye’s adult life as Isaac Okonkwo, and the life of Nwoye’s son Obi—Okonkwo’s grandson.  Pretend you are a novelist, write what you would  have happen to Isaac and Obi Okonkwo during the course of the Twentieth century, considering the cultural changes that might occur in Nigeria.  Write a chapter in which we learn about the relationship between Isaac and Obi ~ this can show the change (theme).\n\nPretend you are the spirit of Okonkwo, returned from the grave to speak to Mr. Hammerstrom’s class about the novel Chinua Achebe wrote about you.  What do you think of the novel?  Do you think Achebe portrayed you fairly?  Why?  Why not?  In hindsight, would you have changed anything about your past life?  You can present your thought, reflections and conclusions to the class in the “spirit of Okonkwo,” remaining in Okonkwo’s character.  Again, focus on the traditional verses change.\n\nYou could each take up a character in the novel, such as Okonkwo, Obierika, Unoka, Ekwefi, Ezinma, Nwoye, or Ikemefuna, and rewrite a scene from his or her voice and position. The confrontations between the white men and the Igbo people are good incidents to use for the rewrite for your theme.  You guys could knock a very quick script and act the confrontation out for the class~use multiple roles, have a narrator explain why you chose a certain character, what role the character plays in the novel, etc. during an introduction.\n\nResearch website:\n\nhttp://projects.edtech.sandi.net/kearny/tribal/resources.html

Power \nDifferent types of power, some used and abused. Democratic power is shown when choices and decisions are shared among many people on the island. Jack shows authoritarian power by threatening and terrifying others. Some of the boys utilize brute force, when hunting for pigs, and later hunting for Ralph. \n\nFear of the Unknown \nThe boy's fear of the unknown on the island leads to their fear of the beast. The boys cannot accept the notion of a beast existing on the island, nor can they let go of it. The recognition that no real beast exists, and that the only beast on the island is fear itself is one of the deepest meanings of the story. \n\nBlindness and Sight \nPiggy is blind to his immediate surroundings but really understands what is going on on the island. Unfortunately, the boys do not realize that Piggy sees more, and he is treated poorly and is eventually killed.

Try "The Poet" and "The Poet's Mind" by Lord Alfred Tennyson.  One is funny and bright while the other is dark and dismal.  Good luck!

Handmaids Tale is a great book with great concepts.  I have taught this book along with Orwell's 1984 and others for my senior english lit class.  \nThe book has a great deal to do with takeovers of society, the impact of inaction/action in society, and women's rights.  I enjoy teaching it to seniors because they are all turning 18 at the time (voting age) and they are inspired to vote to prevent government from taking over, or even burning books like in Bradbury's Farenheit 451!  \nIt is also great to use in debating!  Have fun.

About the theme: Some critics contend that the theme of the story is that human perfection can only be achieved in death and therefore not reachable at all, in that the trademark foreshadowing occurred during Aylmer's dream, in which he can not cut deep enough to remove the birthmark.\n\nOther critics read the story as a critique of 19th century positivistic science (positivism) situating the woman as nature and representing science as attempting to penetrate her/its secrets while ultimately destroying the object of its research. Still others see it as a defence of vitalism as against materialism -- that one cannot find the essence or soul in mute bodily matter.\n\nCritics: Recent criticism has focused on Hawthorne's narrative voice, treating it as a self-conscious rhetorical construction, not to be conflated with Hawthorne's own voice. Such an approach complicates the long-dominant tradition of regarding Hawthorne as a gloomy, guilt-ridden moralist.

A really good one is by Mem Fox, it is called "Wherever you are".  \n\nGo to the library and find a copy of "A to Zoo".  It is a reference book to find children's books about particular subjects.  Look under diversity and you should be able to find a lot of examples of excellent children's books about diversity.  Also try searching in search engines for children's diversity book lists.  Good luck!
