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?

My book is about people that are epics. They live everywhere in the world. Page 62 "Where Omaha or Sacramento." They live anywhere they can and anybody in this picture could be an epic.

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

I'm a little way into the story and they've talked very little of where they are at. It sounds like they are in a biggish town like Chicago, they call it Newcago. On page 22 it says "I watched people pour out of The Reeve House." The Reeve House is very popular where it's at because it's very cheap and it's in a run-down part of Newcago.

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?

Just like The Odyssey, the Reckoners try and help every one they can. They are trying to save the city they live in. Page 25 ¨They were the only ones who still fought back.¨

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 feel like the author is saying the world is getting to corrupted with power.  If one person has to much power they can just control one thing like a dictator.
Page 2 "The Epics started to take over after calamity hit."

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.

Steelheart just got done with a fight and David watched the fight and found something out. Davids dad fought Steelheart and hurt him even though everyone thought he was invincible. David is the only one that knows how to hurt Steelheart he just doesn't have the guts to do it. Page 16 says, "I'm the only one that knows how he got that scar on his cheek." David knows what he has to do.

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?

In my dystopian book the society is very corrupted. The change they are trying to do is make everyone feel safer. They do defeat Steelheart and are now on other epics.  Page 6, "Sometimes you have to help the heroes along."

In what ways has your protagonist changed and evolved?

David went from being nervous and really scared to the best he could possibly be. When he was young he was afraid to help his dad when he was dying. Now with the Reckoners, David has helped many people endangered from the Epics. Page 15 "I was scared, frightened, afraid."
