The issue that the author is bringing up in the novel is that people need to think for themselves. Stephen is always torn between what he thinks he should do and what his grandpa would like him to do. If he made decisions based on himself then he may not be in the situation he is in now.

“If it was true that all paths in our World led to only one place, then why not fill whatever path you chose with the best things you could find?” pg 198

A common idea in my novel could be nuclear disaster. The common idea effects my characters because Steven knows that he is going to die anyways so when his dad dies he does not want to move after he digs the grave. He then almost dies from the cold.

pg 202 "All of that had come to this.
Stillness.
A yawning silence.
Like none of those things had ever been."

My main character is a scavenger that looks for trade able items that they find on their journey to an area by Florida. pg 14, "I don't know Doesn't look like there's anything valuable."

I do not like my character because he is a bit of a hot head and does not control himself very well.

Nature and survival is controlling the characters in the book. The characters so far are handling it very well because they have not died yet. Nature and survival is in all of the animals right now so yes it is present right now.

A theme topic in my novel could be survival. The situation in my book is a post apocalypse. Steven is trying to survive while his dad is in a coma at a town that is somehow still thinking that the apocalypse had not happened.

In my dystopian novel the main character feels trapped and does not know what to do. He does not know what to do because his dad is in a coma. He also is in a village that he does not know if he should leave the village or not. He is trapped between his dad and leaving a village he thinks is not safe.

In my dystonia novel the place they are at is similar to somewhere I have been to but not in the same setting. The place is planes with forests around them this could be somewhere in the Midwest or south. The setting is a broken down plane on a hill that has broken down roads by it.

pg 32 "At some point I crashed into what felt like an oak tree."
pg 13 "Looks like a bomber."

What theme topics are you seeing in your novel? Explain a bit how your protagonist is reacting to these topics.

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.

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.
