The first thing that I saw was the cover of the book. The puzzle pieces making up her face were intriguing. 
2. I think that Jenna isn't even a real person. I think shes almost like artificial intelligence. 
3. I predict there will probably be a war and/or we'll find out that her "parents" aren't her parents, and they're mad scientists who have been trying to make Jenna for a long time.]]> 2018-05-23 14:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/263042710 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/263045912 The year was 2025, a war had just begun. The war was between The Americas and North Korea. It all started with a deep hatred from Donald Trump to Kim Jong Un. Un had a missile. Kim Jong Un made sure it hit a place where not many people would be hurt, but where it would be noticed. Area 51.]]> 2018-05-23 14:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/263045912 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/263379158 1. Technology is a big part of my family's life. If you were to walk into my house, you would see me on my computer, my brother in his room on his computer, my dad in his room watching TV, and my mom on the couch on her phone. It brings us all together because we have a family group chat where we make announcements and just talk to each other in general. It isolates us because, like I said, my brother could be in his room all day on his computer if my family allowed it, and my dad comes home from work, eats, and goes straight to his room to watch TV and take a nap.
2. Technology in the book is just small laptops that they use. Jenna uses technology to find out her past.]]> 2018-05-24 15:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/263379158 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/263386431 Citizens in this story are dehumanized because Jenna talks like a robot, she isn't allowed to go outside. Where she lives in the circumstances her parents give her make this state or area very different. "Fifteen years ago. Southern California. Nineteen thousand people died. Two whole communities vanished into the ocean, and all major transportation systems were cripples as well as water flow to the southern half of the state. It was the greatest natural disaster our country has ever seen and, along with the Aureus epidemic that followed three months later, was considered the triggering event for the Second Great Depression, which lasted six years." This quote shows that she's saying facts about things that happened very thoroughly from before she was even born.]]> 2018-05-24 15:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/263386431 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265662903 1. What does it mean to be a good citizen? How are you a good citizen? 
To be a good citizen is to do some good things in life. Being a good citizen is to follow the rules and to give something to people in need. I'm a good citizen by tutoring some 5th, 6th, and 7th graders after school sometimes for some community service hours.
2. How is the main character of your book a good citizen (or not)?
Jenna isn't either a good citizen or a bad one; she doesn't do anything to be a good citizen or a bad citizen. She's isolated throughout half of the book, making her not able to do anything for the city she lives in. She has almost no opportunity to do anything good or bad.]]> 2018-06-05 15:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265662903 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265922030 1. How does living in a society make you who you are?
Living in a society would make you have more friends and would make you (most likely) a better person.
2. How does living in a dystopian society portrayed in your book make the main character who they are?
Living in this type of environment didn't exactly make Jenna who she is. Her parents made her into someone she wasn't before the accident happened. Jenna's limbs were replaced with a blue gel that acted as flesh. Since this place is sometime in the future, it would make this sort of an everyday occurrence.]]> 2018-06-06 16:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265922030 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265923763 People in the story aren't allowed to know some certain information about Jenna and what her parents did to her. Everything they did to her body were all illegal. The bio-gel was illegal, the brain memory transfer was illegal. One big part of the story that shows that some information is closed off from certain people is around page 115, where Jenna finds a locked room downstairs with a computer with her name on it that she was never told about. "They are oddly shaped, each a six-inch square block, much larger than a home computer, and each is connected to its own battery dock. Why not just run them off house power? I step closer and I see a small white label on the middle one. JENNA ANGELINE FOX." The friends of Jenna at her new school are also not allowed to know about Jenna and where she came from because of all the attention she would get from the press.]]> 2018-06-06 16:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265923763 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265925731 Nature isn't exactly banished and distrusted, but technology is definitely heavily relied on. On a certain page, Jenna talks about how her father had to put micro-bots into her bloodstream to get up to her brain and through her whole body so that Jenna could live to get to the hospital. "Your father actually injected you with the nanobots while you were in an ambulance en route to the new facility." Everyone in Jenna's family uses Netbooks to talk to her father and sometimes each other.]]> 2018-06-06 16:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265925731 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265927931 Barack Obama, our savior, made sure that he had a personal army. He knew this was going to happen. After the war was over he started to help out everyone on the streets, which was actually just everyone in general.]]> 2018-06-06 16:58:49 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265927931 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265928225 There were always people in vans going around making sure everyone was healthy, and if they weren’t, the doctors in the vans would take them back to an underground hospital, but everyone that goes in, never comes out.]]> 2018-06-06 17:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265928225 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265928382 This place is Chicago, Illinois. In the year 2048, after the long, long war between the Americas and North Korea. Everyone was sick. Cars were smashed. Buildings torn down. The only things and people that survived were people in bunkers and such. Everything in the world was destroyed after the war spread, missiles went to the wrong place, etc.]]> 2018-06-06 17:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265928382 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265930112 The government was the worst. Always unorganized. It's decisions were never in favor of the struggling men and women on the streets. They were always treating the wealthy and rich like kings and queens. It was a monarchy. Kanye West was the first King, passing down the crown to Saint West.]]> 2018-06-06 17:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265930112 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265930704 The average citizen is living on the street. More than 80% of the people on earth live on the streets, with ragged, torn clothes. There are always fights for food. Sometimes they would have to eat the rats they find crawling on the ground. None of them have fun, they never follow the rules, always trying to overthrow the king.]]> 2018-06-06 17:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265930704 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265931186 Anybody that breaks the law will be executed upon arrest. No matter what the crime was, they will still be executed due to population overgrowth. This hasn't done much, seeing as the population just keeps growing and growing.]]> 2018-06-06 17:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/265931186 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/266168807 Jenna is desensitized from corruption because she isn't allowed to know some certain things in her life, making her almost unaware of her whole body. Jenna is definitely desensitized by her parents, while Lily, her grandmother, wants her to know more about her past. "Let's face it, I'm news, and with my background with Bio Gel and the high profile of Fox BioSystems, red flags would go flying. The media would have a field day and the FSEB would be out to make an example of us. Everyone involved would be facing jail time. And I'm not sure what would happen-"]]> 2018-06-07 17:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/266168807 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/266595572 1. How important is it for people to have choices?
I think it is very important. When people make choices, it means that they are independent people and that they are able to live on their own, as long as the choices are good.
2. Think about your main character. What choices are restricted? What choices do they make? 
Jenna isn't allowed to make the choice to tell anyone about her. Even though it is highly dangerous, she still told one person. Another choice Jenna made in the book was to go exploring the house, where she found three computers in a locked closet.]]> 2018-06-11 12:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/266595572 joshua4753 https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/266596785 Not all citizens are made to follow uniform expectations, but Jenna is. In the book, she states that Claire, her mother, chose what she had to wear, and the things that she had to wear were a blue shirt and blue pants. Up until when Jenna rebels and makes Claire get her a red skirt because red was her friend Kara's favorite color. "Claire may have had to choose my clothes hastily, or maybe she chose them because they wouldn't draw attention, but at least she tried to get a color she knew I liked."]]> 2018-06-11 12:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua4753/9cgpeghtmiex/wish/266596785
