"...had we not committed our crime which changed all things for us. And it was our curse which drove us to our crime...We looked too long at the stars at night... trees and the earth...we gathered the glass vials, the pieces of metal, the dried bones which they had discarded (29)".]]> 2021-06-09 23:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597033572 22zcozene https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597505256 In the story, citizens in this society are separated into sectors based on what they excel at, or what the government thinks they are good for, and there is absolutely no choice on what they must do for the rest of their life. Because of the dystopian society, civilians must just continue to live on with their lives because they are unable to do anything out of the ordinary from their routine. "Dare not choose in your minds the work you would like to do when you leave the home of the students. You shall do that which the Council of Vocations shall prescribe for you (22)".]]> 2021-06-10 03:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597505256 22zcozene https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597545566 Society is controlled by the government, and everyone refers to absolutely everything as "we", as if they were brainwashed to know that everything is a group effort, whether it actually was or not. The word "I" is forbidden, and punishable to immediate death if said. "Unspeakable Word, which no men may speak nor hear...But when they speak it they are put to death (49)".]]> 2021-06-10 03:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597545566 22zcozene https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597559803 Equality 7-2521 Also has an interest in Liberty 5-3000, and because of the way the society is set up, he is not technically allowed to talk to her or interact unless they are in the mating chambers, but that doesn't stop him. He finds ways around the rules, and he even gets caught breaking rules, but he continues, in order to get what he wants]]> 2021-06-10 03:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597559803 22zcozene https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597567157 The setting can also have effect on the plot in other ways. When the book is set in the tunnel, Equality 7-2521 is a completely different person, and is more himself because he is able to do what he wants and learn anything he wants to.]]> 2021-06-10 03:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/22zcozene/4kvmgydhig110mfy/wish/1597567157
