I have a couple of ideas: Read Upton Sinclair’s the Jungle and then discuss whether any of it applies today.

Or look talk about what Ann Rand (author of Atlas Shrugs) might think of socialism

or look into Chechov’s The Cherry Orchard and discuss how this reflects his thoughts on the revolution.

The Jungle is basically a huge ad for Socialism. On the upside, the link is obvious. On the downside, the book only has two chapters worth reading.

**warning before reading**: slight plot spoiler….

Mmmm…so do you mean the last two? If so, I would respond that for some, without the emotional engagement of the tragedy and loss that the main character and his family suffer, the final discussion would not have the same impact.

I wept through the book when I first read it… but I would admit it is not an “easy read” .. and it would certainly not be as moving now…

No, I just liked the scenes where he steals the hundred dollar bill from the rich guy and when he goes and talks to one of his relatives after getting out of prison. They’re the only two interesting passages in the book. I’m not really able to take books that have such a blatant agenda, and flaunt it at the expense of quality plotting and writing, seriously.

that’s true… a little didactic…
