Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Trisha, piggybacking on what Jim said about Christopher Paul Curtis's work, you might look into _Spite Fences_. It's a great novel by Kirshner about racism. Good to pair with _Roll of Thunder_. "Uplifting" is so ambiguous. I find young adults successfully dealing with realistic conficts to be uplifting... But you might also look into such things as: _The Skin I'm In_, _Searching for David's Heart_. For short stories, what about "The Gift of the Magi"? Not exactly prime literature would be the _Chicken Soup_ books as an alternative, too. Lori
