What I am looking for are questions and answers that clarify and support how fiction about real life events have or can influence social change. Write a series of questions and answers regarding how effective a well crafted fictional book relating to real world events and solutions can help bring about social change. Talk about how a novel can act as a vehicle to educate and dramatize the need for change. Talk about fictional books that have brought about social change. What are some real examples of novels, plays or other fictional works that entertained but were catalyzes for social change? Talk about blending real life events into fictional novels. Talk of books or movies that have done just that. In the set of questions and arguments try to mention books that included a theme regarding the education of society on alternative energy and our total dependence on foreign energy sources or the dangers of atomic entergy. Talk about corruption in government and in corporations. Do your own thinking and add othe questions and well thought out answers as responses to the questions. How effective are dramatize fictional depictions of events, towards changing readers’ view of the world? The purpose of these questions are to act as “talking points?? in providing appropriate questions and well thought out answers for those interviewing me about a novel related to our current dependence on foreign energy ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.

Uncle tom's cabin -- Harriet Beecher Stowe CATCH 22 -- Joseph Heller Brave New World -- Huxley Sister Carrie -- Theodore Dreiser **Interviewer: ** What are some real examples of novels, plays or other fictional works that entertained but were catalyzes for social change? **David Hearne: **One example of such a book is The Handmaid’s Tale that dramatized the repercussions of environmental changes caused by pollution and radiative waste from nuclear power plants. Margaret Atwood purposely crafted her novel to shock people into thinking about the problems of toxic waste, pollution and radiation. It is an unsettling dark story about how our actions or inactions affect nature and our very existence.
