Why do you think this is the case? Many adults read this genre in young adult literature but why do you think it is not as popular in adult literature? cierra_graham https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220206735  Younger generations like change compared to older generations, so young adults find it more easier to relate and connect more to dystopian novels compared to adults. ]]> 2018-01-10 15:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220206735 According to the article, why do teenagers find the end of the world so appealing? cameron_lasala https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220206802 In a weird way teens can relate to dystopian novels. They see the forced rules and rebellion in the novels and wish they could rebel themselves. They wish that they could experience that rebellion and self-government in their actual lives, but because they can't they turn to dystopian books and movies. ]]> 2018-01-10 15:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220206802 what "shared human experiences" are explored in dystopian fiction?

Which would be the better type of leadership: all democratic everyone knows all information? Group of leaders: secrets kept are imperative? Explain. julia_marino1 https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220207952 We believe  that a democratic society would be the better type of leadership because everyone should know all information to bring fairness. If everyone knew all information then people would be able to work together and hear each other's opinions]]> 2018-01-10 15:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220207952 Why do so many of us like dystopian stories/movies? Why did so many of us go home and watch The 100? samgehringer22 https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220208719 So many of us like dystopian stories because in real life we are restricted by rules, and in dystopian stories we live out the free life's we wish we had. They are exciting because we feel like we're one of the characters and experience the same feeling they get without acting out and facing the consequences in real life. In today's age many kids have turned from paper books toward technology. Many may have gone home to watch the 100 because it's "easier" and more convenient than reading an actual book while still getting the same experience you would as if you had read. ]]> 2018-01-10 15:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220208719 What are some things in our society that you would like to see changed? How would they be changed? Why would you change them in this way? alexa_mitchell https://padlet.com/DayCap/GeneralIdeasperiod4/wish/220208729 The most important change needed in society is equal opportunity.
