1. Create a Venn diagram that compares the benefits and harms of industrialization. Produce as many pros and cons as you can think of. Don’t limit yourself to climate—consider things like politics, communication, education, and other social issues. In your Venn diagram, include specific examples to support each pro and con. Then write a thesis statement that takes a position on the following question: Has industrialization produced more benefits or harms to the world?
2. Atwood writes from a privileged perspective. She is a Canadian author who has lived in an industrialized society her entire life. Investigate the effects of climate change on a country that has not enjoyed the benefits of industrialization. One country you might consider is the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rewrite Atwood’s poem from the perspective of somebody who has experienced only the negative effects of industrialization and none of the positives. Use her structure of a historical parable written in stages, but think about what message someone in in your chosen country might want to communicate and what details the speaker might include from the lives of people in that country.
