“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Albert Einstein What are the implications of this quote from Albert Einstein? Albert Einstein lived from Consider how much our world has changed since then; like dystopian fiction, how might this quote also fit the prescriptive trait that we discussed yesterday?

“By the Waters of Babylon” On a piece of notebook paper, create the following chart: Setting Details (specifically track the places John describes on his journey) Fire (Fire is a motif in this story. Track it’s appearance to determine what fire is connected to) Figurative Language: (Similes, Metaphors, Personification) John’s Character Development (he is our dystopian protagonist, so how is he changing)

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Albert Einstein Let’s go back to this quote. How does this quote apply to “By the Waters of Babylon”? Consider how the initial descriptions of the setting are very misleading.

Psalm 137 The title of our story comes from Psalm 137. How does this Psalm emphasize the theme of our story? By the waters of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. 2 There on the poplars we hung our harps, 3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" 4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. 6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy. 7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. "Tear it down," they cried, "tear it down to its foundations!" 8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us- 9 he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
