It is somewhat similar to the Midwest it seems like. I say this because there are some waterfalls, rivers, creeks, barns and many other things that we have around here. In my opinion, this book would make a very good video game. I say this because of all of the action and shooting that happens. A lot of gamers enjoy a story-line too, this would be a good one.

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?
---------------------------------
START HERE!
This novel actually has a lot of bad in it. The fantasy of it all is the superpowers these kids were granted. Nothing has resembled anything from our world today as realistic. The characters also joke around a lot for humor.

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?
---------------------------------
The beginning when the kids individual see their own power is a call to adventure. The threshold part when the kids realize their powers and are shocked about it. When they find out they are also lambdas, it is like a rebirth in a way when they all tell each other their powers.

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 the overall message was that there is good and evil in the world. Like a teenager that gets in trouble or something along those lines and instead of helping they punish you. Like when the kids get a power, the government takes them, instead of letting them live their odd life.

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.
---------------------------------
START HERE!
One of the protagonists named Jack just ran away from his friends to ensure safety. There was a shooting between the army and some monster-like creature. Jack was alone for a few hours before he decided to see if there were any other survivors. Jack tip-toed his way down a hill towards a bard when the shooting had happend. He can see light come through the bullet holes in the side of the barn. He stayed and whimpered until he saw a girl in a dress enter the barn. He was hesitant but approached her. .

Describe the main character of your story. Include both physical traits and personality characteristics. Do you like/dislike this character? Why? Include one quote from the novel to describe your character.  Include the page number you find the quote on
START HERE!
Jack I would say is the overall main character. He has a very planned out strategy to everything it seems like. It also seems like he was a "mommy's boy" because he has a big heart. He was uncomfortable not around his group of friends and was scared he might not find them. He showed he cared about them and wanted them to be safe.
Page 39- "You okay?" - Jack.
I picked this because he always is looking out for his people.

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?
---------------------------------
One of the biggest things I noticed was that citizens are afraid of the outside world . If you are a lambda and you are a teen, the government will take you to use your powers to destroy the bad lambdas.
There is also a lot of paranoia obviously because of all of the chaos that is going on outside.

In what ways has your protagonist changed and evolved?
---------------------------------
Aubrey and Jack are still buddy buddy to each other and seem to have matured a lot into adults instead of just kids. Somewhat like a new chapter in their life. Dan is still grieving over his mom's passing, but still is rocking with Laura. Laura started off as a terrorist and is now a good friend of Jack and Aubrey.
Dan- "Maybe I did it to get payback."

There is a lot of person Freedom in a way. They have a lot of freedom, but are also under control. They seem to have freedom because they're parents are only vaguely portrayed in the story. They also have little freedom because the government is on their tail all the time.
