I was in 7th grade 2 decades ago, but I still rememeber this story from the first time we read it in class. What's really amazing about this story- is how the author totally foretold our future (well, not entirely I hope!!!)
This story isn't long, it carries all sorts of literary themes and pathways (why we read it in English obviously! Although, I don't like it for ANY of that) but I still find it fascinating to this day. It isn't a happy tale; but the main theme of how life will continue no matter how humanity prospers (or does not) at our own expense, is such a thought provoking theme.
