32 Summaries from Novel and Drama List Animal Farm: The classic story/allegory of the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm follows their experiences with collectivism as the pigs take power and the common animals are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Anthem: Anthem is a dystopian novella by Ayn Rand, written in 1937 and first published in 1938 in England. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age characterized by irrationality, collectivism, and socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated. Dune: Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Maud'dib and avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family, bringing to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream. The novel is stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism, and politics. Ender s Game: A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training as a defense against a hostile alien race's next attack. Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games and is smart enough to know that time is running out. Esperanza Rising: In Pam Munoz Ryan s novel, the protagonist, Esperanza, thought she'd always live with her family on their ranch in Mexico--she'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home, and servants. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California during the Great Depression, and to settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard labor, financial struggles, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances--mama's life, and her own, depend on it. Holes: Louis Sachar braids three tales into one in his novel, Holes. Stanley Yelnats, the protagonist, is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pigstealing-great-great-grandfather from Latvia in the 1800 s and has since followed generations of Texas Yelnatses from the late 1800 s to modern day. Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes. Lord of the Flies: This classic tale about a group of English schoolboys, plane-wrecked on a deserted island, traces how their cooperation for survival deteriorates as the trappings of civilization fall away, and Ralph discovers that he and Piggy, instead of being hunters, have become the hunted. Oedipus Rex: Oedipus, a prince of Corinth, is told by the Delphic oracle that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Running away from the prediction, he encounters an old man whom he murders out of anger and he later answers a riddle by the sphinx of Thebes, thus saving the city. He is awarded the kingship of Thebes and the widow of the recently deceased king as his bride. The play opens after several years of rule when the prediction catches up with him. The Fault in Our Stars: John Green details the love story of two bright, witty teens who also have cancer. Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel s story is about to be completely rewritten. Page 32 of 33 Revised June 2015
33 The Hunger Games: In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Collins dystopian novel chronicles the story of sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister. The protagonist regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The Miracle Worker: Young Helen Keller, blind, deaf, and mute since infancy, is in danger of being sent to an institution because her inability to communicate has left her frustrated and violent. In desperation, her parents seek help from the Perkins Institute, which sends them a "half-blind Yankee schoolgirl" named Annie Sullivan to tutor their daughter. Through persistence, love, and sheer stubbornness, Annie breaks through Helen's walls of silence and darkness and teaches her to communicate, bringing her into the world at last. The Secret Life of Bees: 14-year-old Lily Owen, neglected and isolated by her father, flees with her nanny to find her mother, ending up with the three black Calendar sisters who help her find the mother in herself as she works on their honey farm. Southern Gothic genre. The Time Machine: A nameless Time Traveler, hurtled into the year 802,701 by his elaborate ivory, crystal, and brass contraption, lands in a world peopled by two races. The decadent Eloi, fluttery and useless, are dependent for food, clothing, and shelter on the simian subterranean Morlocks, who prey on them, symbolizing Wells vision of unchecked capitalism. To Kill a Mockingbird: Told entirely from the perspective of young Scout Finch, the classic novel of growing up in the South of the 1930s and attendant racial issues moves finally to Scout's hard-won understanding that most people are essentially kind "when you really see them."
