Has anyone read this? It's a story about a dystopian future, but a very unique one, and definitely a warning. I think it's very interesting, an example of why people should accept differences and not enforce homogenity.

Living isn't easy when you're far away from home...

I remember reading this way back in a high school English class. Very interesting concept. I always enjoy reading dystopian stories. (Well, maybe "enjoy" isn't the right word...)

Full text of the story here.

I just read that about a week ago in my humanities class for college. We were studying the hero archetype.

I really don't feel that it is a warning against oppressive governments (despite being in a dystopia) but rather a warning against equality (something the US "has problems with"). So yes, I'd agree with you on that.
