 - Personal relationship does not exist in dystonia society
Techniques: 
 - Inclusive term "we"
 - Rhetorical question
 - High modality "need"
 - Emphasising tone
Quote: 
 - We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?” 
Explanations:
 - The use of rhetorical question suggests that personal relationship and social interaction does not exist in the dystopian world which led people to feel estranged and isolated. High modality of "need" in an emphasising tone further stresses the importance of human interaction in a world.

The term dystopia is defined as a society characterised by poverty, oppression and the theme is most commonly used in science fiction and speculative fiction genres. ]]> 2019-06-11 02:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833034 https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833330 Utopia is the imagined community or society perfect for citizens]]> 2019-06-11 02:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833330 https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833549 "I should think that you'd consider me sometimes" (31) by Montag]]> 2019-06-11 02:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833549 https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833892 2019-06-11 02:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833892 https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833942 2019-06-11 02:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833942 https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833960 Imaged community or society- undeaireble, frightening]]> 2019-06-11 02:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366833960 https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366834279 2019-06-11 02:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366834279 https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366834769 “There must be something in books, something we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing.”

Techniques:
High modality language "must", "nothing" and "burning". It exhibits the emptiness and desolation of protagonist's inner activities on the dystopian world and how he felt helpless and isolated from the rest of the world. ]]> 2019-06-11 02:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366834769 zhufeng_shi https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366834889 It was a pleasure to burn.

Bradbury introduces a dystopian world in which firemen ignite fire instead of putting them out.]]> 2019-06-11 02:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366834889 haimingyue_xu https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366835454 * Being a pedestrian is weird in this dystopian world
* “‘What’s going on?’ Montag had rarely seen that many house lights.
‘Oh, just my mother and father and uncle sitting around, talking. It’s like being a pedestrian, only rarer. My uncle was arrested another time - did I tell you? - for being a pedestrian. Oh, we’re MOST peculiar.’” (Page 17)
* Techniques:
  - Use of Italian “most”
  - Diction: “rarely” “arrested” “peculiar”
* In this dystopian world, talking is rarer than being a pedestrian because everyone is busy with their work and leisure lives that they don’t have time to look around and talk to others. Clarisse’s uncle was even arrested which suggested the seriousness of the situation.]]> 2019-06-11 02:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366835454 zhufeng_shi https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366835522 2019-06-11 02:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366835522 zhufeng_shi https://padlet.com/hellomskang/3retzc0vuwff/wish/366835524 Burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes.
