I give my students these stories. "The Lottery" is really good. Everyone should give it a read. Also check out, "All Summer in a Day" and "Checkouts."
Have a sharp teenager compare "Harrison" and "Animal Farm" to modern day society, and watch them swallow the red pill.
Also, if anyone knows of any overly narcissistic short stories, it would be much appreciated.
Poe's Cask of Amontillado is a good one, just off the top of my head. Educator's discretion is advised, of course, due to the mature subject matter.
