I know this is an awkward question, but, i would say it's more of seeking advice. I am doing a in-class essay in 3 weeks about "Authority and Rebellion" and i need three different sources to be used in answering an un-seen question. I've decide to use "The Crucible" (Miller), but i need two other texts, poems etc. based upon "Authority and Rebellion. Would anyone be kind enough to suggest any texts to the above criteria?


Thanks

Have you read "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey? That book is all about rebelling against authority.

Also, check out "1984" by George Orwell. It's about Big Brother and how the protagonist tries to rebell against BB.
 
'Animal Farm' by George Orwell is about animals rebelling again other animals that believe they have authority over the other animals and a twist of fate turns this all around on them.
