My interest in dystopian literature really just starts and ends with the fact that I need to teach a unit centered on it. I looked at the length of <em>Scythe<\/em>, realized it was way too long for a whole class read, and never bothered to get a copy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wow, was that a mistake! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still don&rsquo;t think this is going to be a whole class novel for me, but I absolutely loved it! <strong>This is one of those young adult novels that I love even when I forget about my students and my classroom<\/strong>. I would keep this one on my personal shelf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"itslitteach05-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"My Amazon Picks\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"27fd3e751b15e426148d7648594cc9aa\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"144247243X,1442472464,1481497065,1534461531\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes <em>Scythe <\/em>&ldquo;Lit&rdquo;?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of us fear the advancement of artificial intelligence. I mean, we know how the story goes, right? Robots outsmart us, realize that we are inefficient\/cruel\/wastes of resources, and then they seek to destroy mankind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/144247243X\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=144247243X&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=itslitteach05-20&amp;linkId=9aa825abd0cd6e2092979ff17f34ebfe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Scythe (opens in a new tab)\">Scythe<\/a><\/em>, artificial intelligence has grown beyond this&ndash;it&rsquo;s not only smart, but it&rsquo;s also <em>wise<\/em><\/strong>. So wise, in fact, that humanity intrusts it with everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People go to the AI&ndash;the Thunderhead&ndash;for life advice. (Imagine an Alexa who could help you with boy troubles!) <strong>It has solved all of life&rsquo;s problems, including the big one: death.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But in a world without death, someone must control population growth<\/strong>. And what is life without the possibility of death around every corner? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enter the Sycthedom: a group entrusted to keep population growth under control<\/strong>. Despite their wisdom, training, and the service they provide, scythes live separately from the rest of humanity. They alone operate outside of The Thunderhead&rsquo;s control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most scythes work with compassion and kindness. Other seek power. Citra and Rowan, two new scythe apprentices, find themselves in the middle of this power struggle while trying to complete their training, thus saving their own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Scythe <\/em>pulls readers in with the world and the mysterious draw of the scythes themselves. Halfway through though, I found myself mesmerized by the inner politics of the Scythedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neal Shusterman&rsquo;s fictional future feels real and complete like I could step inside the story, peak around the corner, and the world would continue beyond the description on the page.<\/strong> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m always impressed by authors whose worlds are so complete, that they can manipulate the loopholes of their own making. And Neal Shusterman does just that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/itslitteaching.com\/scythe-for-the-high-school-classroom-library-a-lit-literature-review\/?tp_image_id=2117\" data-pin-id=\"LL: Scythe Pin 1\" data-pin-title=\"Scythe For Your High School Classroom By Neal Shusterman\" data-pin-description=\"Are you trying to find the best of the best for your high school classroom library?
