Assess students' ability to identify and interpret central themes, recurring symbols, and the effects of narrative perspective in canonical 20th‑century dystopian novels. The quiz will require concise close readings that cite textual evidence, explain how symbols reinforce themes (e.g., surveillance, control, conformity, technology), analyze the impact of first‑person vs. third‑person and unreliable narration on reader understanding, and make brief comparisons across texts from the period. Designed for Grade 9–12; emphasizes comprehension and evidence‑based interpretation.
