At the beginning of the novel Violet was a rule follower, she did everything she was supposed to do. As you read further in the novel she became someone who doesn't follow protocol. She's someone who doesn't do dangerous stuff. You wouldn't see her going out with friends doing stupid things she's not supposed to. About half way through the book Violet goes down to Old Earth breaking protocol and comes back up with bruises on her body.

P.176 "It's an errand for my dad." Violet cringed inward at the lie, but it was for the greater good. Right?And nobody said no to Ogden Crowley."

I think the author is trying to tells us that you can't change the world, that we need to deal with the problems our selves instead of pushing them aside. That's not going to fix anything. I feel like she is trying to get out that if we had a new start it would fall back to where it was because those problems would start again because we don't know how to solve them. The reason we don't know how to solve them is because we pushed them off.
P.227
Crowley - "You agree with me, yes? We need to build a new Earth?" 
Lucretia - She laughs. "Absolutely not!" Shaking her head. "We need to stay right here and deal with our problems - not peel off the top layer of people and go somewhere else and start over. I think you are one hundred percent wrong!"]]> 2019-05-07 16:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714342 Dystopian Society: 22alexander_winters https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714344 What aspects of the Dystopian society are found in your novel?  What statement is the author trying to make by utilizing that particular aspect?  What is the change that your character/s are attempting to bring about?  Do you think they will be successful and if so, will the change bring what they hope?
My dystopian is based around the Intercept. The intercept is What controls New Earth. Ogden Crowley created it to make people's emotions against themselves. towards the end of the novel Ogden regrets making the Intercept. At the end of the book he tells the cops to reopen the portals make more pod so that everyone could be on New Earth.

relationship
Violet had feelings for Danny but doesn't want to show him that she does. she feels like if he knew than he wouldn't talk to her. The Intercept know every thing about someone as long as they have a chip in the elbow. Once you have a chip in your elbow and the Intercept reads  you, your in there forever.
P.29 "Yeah, but the Intercept never, ever forgets about you."]]> 2019-05-07 16:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714350 Dystopian Controls: 22alexander_winters https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714351 What aspects of Dystopian control is being presented in your novel?  How are the characters handling them?  Do any of these aspects of Dystopian Control resemble conditions happening in our world today?
New Earth controls itself and controls Old earth. She is handling it pretty good. She follows protocol so she doesn't get in trouble and does what she needs to do.
P. 27 "She didn't want her anger to soften; he had broken the rules, risked his life."]]> 2019-05-07 16:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714351 Dystopian Protagonist 22alexander_winters https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714352 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.
   At the beginning of my novel, Violet the protagonist, is feeling trapped.  She can't do anything without the intercept knowing. everyone on New Earth has a chip in their elbow and when you feel an emotion it lights up blue and gets sent to the intercept records. when she is not working she doesn't focus right and doesn't process thing the same as if she were at work. ]]> 2019-05-07 16:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714352 Setting: 22alexander_winters https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714353 Describe the setting of your Dystopian novel.  Is it similar to anywhere you have visited, viewed, read about, heard about?

I am somewhere in the 2300's. The setting is Old Earth where they all used to live. It is now where the poor and naughty people live. Its got a retched sent, it doesn't tell that it does but i get an idea of it because there is not much food and water on Old Earth. With no food or water people can't shower or get their nutrients they need to stay healthy. The other people live on New Earth with fancy technology and advanced things. New Earth is mainly an upgraded Old Earth times 10. 
pg. 22 "It isn't right that their last memory of Molly is wreathed in a disgusting, vomit-calling smell, an abomination that's like the mingling of dog 🤬 and cat 🤬 and rotten fruit and moldy basement and a shotgun of farts."
I chose this because it gives you an idea of what people smell like and have to go trough. Molly was sitting in a dirty alleyway next to a dumpster .]]> 2019-05-07 16:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22alexander_winters/Dystopian/wish/357714353
