World Core and Contemporary literature teacher Frank Ruskus describes two books: “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, which he read in high school and Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, which he wishes he read in high school. “Brave New World” is similar thematically to the book “1984” by George Orwell, however, Ruskus describes it as a more relatable novel. “Fun Home” is a graphic novel written by a lesbian Native American that describes issues that are similar to ones that teens face today.
