Read the following group discussion about utopias (perfect societies) and dystopias (hellish societies).
VICTOR: If you all read Sanchez's article, you know that she argues that Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a utopian novel, not a dystopian novel. It's a negative society for the main character only because he's a weirdo, an outsider. Everybody else is happy.
RIKU: Yeah, but keep in mind how Sanchez defines a utopia. Her idea of a perfect society is one where everybody is ranked by ability and there isn't any conflict - not even disagreements. EDGAR: What's your point?
RIKU: My point is that Sanchez's idea of a perfect society is all about rules and order. I know that my idea of a utopia is totally different from that, and it's probably different from a lot of other people's, including Huxley's.
MARIA: In that case, what are some other examples of utopias? Ones that aren't orderly like the society in Brave New World?
Edgar: Why don't we each find a different example of a utopian society in literature and see how they're different?
VICTOR: O.K., I pick Thomas More's Utopia. I haven't read it yet so we'll see what he thinks.
