Hi guys,
For my English Studies narrative i am doing a story about Guantanamo Bay, centred around a prisoner there who is innocent.
The narrative is meant to be similar to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (we are studying that book at the moment) in that, in my teachers own words, "a text which explores the experiences within an institution of control or subversion of individual opression"
I am particularly interested in the human righs violations, any forms of oppression really, and any thing to do with the wrongful imprisonment of people based of suspicion. Simply because if you have ever read one flew over the cuckoo's nest you would see how this could relate to that book.
I am also interested in my own theories about how the hunt for terrorists in todays society is similar to the hunt for communists in the cold war era and the witch hunts of the 1400's.
The only thing is i dont really know heaps about Guantanamo Bay or the Patriot Act, i live in Australia so i am not really exposed to it enough. So any information, thoughts or opinions you guys might have would be really helpful.
Rumours and conspiracy theories are GREAT but also detail about the prison structure and stuff would be really good.
Thanks
