Guía para padres > I Am Very Real

Esta semana en clase, estamos leyendo "I Am Very Real" por Kurt Vonnegut.

Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was an American author and humorist. One month after an English teacher at Drake High School in North Dakota decided to teach Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-Five in his classroom, Charles McCarthy, the head of the school board, decided that the novel's "obscene language" was not appropriate. Every copy of Slaughterhouse-Five at Drake High School was burned in the school's furnace. In response, Vonnegut wrote this letter to McCarthy.

Conforme leamos, estaremos discutiendo los temas de America y Justice, Freedom & Equality como se relacionan con el texto. Estamos intentando responder estas grandes preguntas :

"What makes America unique?" y "Which is more important: freedom or security?"
