One of my conflicts for my character is that he has to be able to manage time with his girlfriend also football. But most importantly he has to worry about his mother because his father died so he has to take care of her. Shes also the type that gets stressed to fast and only he can really calm her down. But the real most important one is he has to put his army duties first. Even if he has to skip parties and other stuff and that's kind of putting stress on him. "A government big enough to give you everything is also powerful enough to take it all away."

My setting has changed a couple times sense I've read the book. The beginning of the book, the setting was a very like urban and country feel. They first were in a town and at school so there was a lot of houses and not much wildlife. Then my character left and the setting changed big time. Since it went from like city/town feel to lots of  greenery/sandy,wildlife, and marshes/swamps. Then the setting changed again when he was sent in for an assignment. The setting went from lots of wildlife to a big city with riots going on. "A government big enough to give you everything is also powerful enough to take it all away."

What theme topics are you seeing in your novel?  Explain a bit how your protagonist is reacting to these topics.
My theme is kind of like war and chaos because a lot of things are going on in the book mostly dealing with the government. Mostly those situations are his fault; because of him shooting on accident during the riot and that let do his teammates killing innocent people. This situation is destroying him because he could've legit just started a World War 3.

Describe the setting of your Dystopian novel.  Is it similar to anywhere you have visited, viewed, read about, heard about?

Example:
I am at the very beginning of 1984. The setting comes across as very urban and somewhat cold and desolate. I do not get the idea that it is winter. Rather, the descriptions lead me to think of an area that is bleak and lacking of trees, flowers, nature. The desolate description could also be more of the character's feelings toward the world he lives in.
pg. 5 "Outside, even through the window pane, the world looked cold."
pg. 6 "Down the street, little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were plastered everywhere."
As I am just at the beginning of the novel, I am not sure if the setting described is true for the entire world or just that city and/or group.

What aspects of Dystopian control is being presented in your novel?  How are the characters handling them?  Do any of these aspects of Dystopian Control resemble conditions happening in our world today?
Yes because today in our life we are dealing with a lot of violence and chaos. In my book my character is dealing with the same thing but he has the whole world going against him. My character isn't really handling it mostly the government is because that's their job. But mentally it's destroying him because he's the reason all this is a problem.

What are the common ideas taking place in your novel? In what ways do the common ideas effect your characters choices or actions? Some common ideas that are taking place is that somethings keep recurring and keep getting worse. Some other ones would be that sense he was involved in the massacre when he was on the mission. The government is trying their hardest to keep the soldiers information secret to keep them safe. This stuff is effecting him by ruining his life and making it absolute hell.

Thinking back to the aspects of the Hero's Journey that we studied during the Odyssey,  What are some of the elements that are also utilized in your novel and with your protagonist? I think some of the elements my characters uses to his advantages are the hardships. Mostly for the reason because he learns off them and fixes his mistakes. Some other elements are bravery. I say that because the people around him creates this atmosphere that makes him wanna do the right thing.

I choose this photo because it shows the soldiers working together as one to get the job done.

What social commentary do you think your author was making with this novel?  What is the author saying or warning about today's world? I think he was trying to warn that to be careful and to always watch your actions. I think he's also trying to say that we live in a society that we judge everything. We live in a society where people like to criticize others no matter if they do the right thing or the wrong thing. So what I'm thinking the authors trying to say is watch out what you say and what you do.

In the Dystopian Elements handout, there are six examples of conflicts the protagonist/main character might got through.  These are not the only conflicts the character might encounter, but just a start.  Identify at least one internal conflict your main character is experiencing.
Example:
At the beginning of 1984, Winston, the protagonist, is feeling trapped.  There is a great deal of describing the Big Brother posters and how the eyes seemed to follow people.  In the apartment, Winston also is very deliberate about having his back to the telescreen or having his facial expression set before turning so the telescreen could "see" him and what he was doing. The layout of his apartment was described, but not with furniture, but as to what areas of the apartment could not be observed by the telescreen.
I also see Winston taking a stand against the establishment. Ignorance is valued and thinking as an individual is considered a crime. Winston buys a journal - illegally and goes to great lengths to find an old pen with which to write in the journal. Just writing/keeping a journal or diary is a punishable act, yet he goes to great lengths to begin to do so and in an area of the apartment that the telescreen cannot "see". This journal, I believe, is going to be an important aspect of Winston's journey.

What and how are your protagonist resisting? Is he/she experiencing success or roadblocks, and how is the success or roadblocks being handled? My character is experiencing roadblocks right now in the army and daily life. Sense ever the incident happened his life has changed drastically. The only thing keeping the roadblocks under control is the government. If the government weren't handling it the roadblocks would become worse and more like life or death situation.

What aspects of the Dystopian society are found in your novel?  What statement is the author trying to make by utilizing that particular aspect?  What is the change that your character/s are attempting to bring about?  Do you think they will be successful and if so, will the change bring what they hope? There are really no Dystopian society going on because the way they're making it feel like is that it's complete hell. In the book it feels like the whole entire society is going against them. The change my character wants is for everything to just go back to normal. I don't know it'll be successful because the people want the government to find the soldiers and make them pay some even think the death penalty. Even though they were just following orders to protect the major.
