- Title: Extreme Home Makeover: Chrysalids Edition
John Wyndham's futuristic novel, The Chrysalids, is a story about a fearfully intolerant post-apocalyptic community in Labrador, Canada. At the centre of this tale is the protagonist David, a boy who lives in a tension-filled household headed by his devoutly deviant-phobic father. The Strorm family's walls are decorated with axioms that do not conform to the values promoted in Canadian society today. As this family home is desperately in need of a twenty-first century makeover, three alternative axioms will be suggested to help make the Strorm home more welcoming in a modern Canadian context.
