In Scythe, the characters can occasionally gain immunity for providing good services to the Scythes and can be a goal by many as to maintain their survival.]]> 2020-10-06 18:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amytrammel/t7emt86sr1ay0o3r/wish/807924789 amytrammel https://padlet.com/amytrammel/t7emt86sr1ay0o3r/wish/807940673 In order for a dystopia to occur, there has to be some major advancements made from the time of being written which is confirmed to have occurred in Scythe as immortality/ resurrection is a viable option due to technological advancements. ]]> 2020-10-06 18:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amytrammel/t7emt86sr1ay0o3r/wish/807940673 amytrammel https://padlet.com/amytrammel/t7emt86sr1ay0o3r/wish/807954732 Citizens in dystopian worlds are often expressed as being afraid of being outside as they are usually being watched, followed, or under surveillance.
In Scythe, the citizen's fear of the presence of the Scythes deters them from being outside and having the possibility of running into a Scythe who randomly choose to kill them keeps them on their toes constantly.]]> 2020-10-06 18:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amytrammel/t7emt86sr1ay0o3r/wish/807954732 amytrammel https://padlet.com/amytrammel/t7emt86sr1ay0o3r/wish/807998714 I believe that the Dystopian genre has appealed to youth so much in recent years because they are reaching an age where they realize the society they live in is designed and catered to an older generation's desires instead of the voices of the young. They realize the flaws in their government systems, laws, and societal standards and thus Dystopian literature is an outlook on defeating these same issues in an entertaining manner. ]]> 2020-10-06 18:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amytrammel/t7emt86sr1ay0o3r/wish/807998714
