The two books we read are indeed things that could possibly happen, so being aware of thses issues, we can try to make sure they don't actually happen. They give us all something to think about, but also scares us, which could help us to be even more determined to prevent these issues. ]]> 2020-12-15 18:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1021210042 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1021236513 I think one of the specific elements is things that we have right now being used in a bad way in the future. For instance, social media, we tend to think it is all good and fun to be active and posting our thoughts and ideas but, in the future it could bite us all in the butt if say communists rule in the next few years were to go look at all of our posts. They could say one of us is racist, or basically anything they have a problem with that we posted could result in something horrible happening to us. Am I making sense? Like if I was to post something saying I love Trump and hate Biden, then in the future some powerful Democrat could find that and possibly come for me and do harm. So dystopia shows us that things we have today and think are all good, can become bad in the future. ]]> 2020-12-15 18:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1021236513 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1021282656 The issue that seems most similar would be the technology we have today. It would indeed be possible to have hounds do police work and hunt down criminals and even kill. Our technology is so advanced and it is only going to get worse. For instance, anyone could google how to make bombs, I've seen it in movies and read about it in newspapers, and even on the news. The internet is so dangerous in many ways. ]]> 2020-12-15 18:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1021282656 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1021299952 Do you believe something similar to 451 is possible in the future? Why or why not?

What do you think could happen in the future as far as a dystopian idea involving the environment? Have you watched The Rain on Netflix? I believe it is of the dystopian genre. It is very scary to think this could happen.]]> 2020-12-15 18:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1021299952 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1029405609 Dystopian stories are often used as threats of what may happen if we continue down a certain path we are on. They often take a real world issue and blow it out of proportion to warn us of how quickly something small could get out of hand and destroy our society as we know it.]]> 2020-12-17 20:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1029405609 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1029410573 Conventions of dystopian literature such as the usual strict and oppressive laws the society must follow represent how easy it is for our society to become horrifically unjust when there is an imbalance of power.]]> 2020-12-17 20:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1029410573 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1029414788 Although luckily we are not at the point of burning books in our society, the way we are so heavily reliant on technology appears to be eerily similar to the society in our novel, “Fahrenheit 451”. Some of the devices which could be used to call our culture lazy are very similar to the devices depicted in this novel.]]> 2020-12-17 20:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1029414788 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1036393351 How can we as a society today use dystopian literature to cope with the issues present in our society?

Dystopias also serve as warnings about the current state of affairs of a government or of those in power. ]]> 2021-01-21 21:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1112256420 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115748906 dystopian literature can be used to express a warning by showing what could happen if something continues, as that is the nature of the genera. It takes an issue that will just continue to get worse and shows the world what it could turn into if that said thing continues.]]> 2021-01-22 20:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115748906 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115757676 The elements of dystopian literature express the elements by outright showing us what will happen if nothing changes. These imbalances and problems are generally related to government or an imbalance of power in the world that is currently seen as 'ok' or 'normal'. ]]> 2021-01-22 20:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115757676 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115768592 Our heavy reliance on the internet and technology we have now a days, seeing it as new and amazing, taking it to far is the human way. While in some ways thats good, in the ways of technology, if the wrong person gets an idea and goes through with a disastrous idea, we are still going to see it as new and amazing. Taking it to far and evolving it, we could get as bad as the novel in no time and it can be seen happening in some instances if you look close enough. ]]> 2021-01-22 20:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115768592 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115776293 Do you think its to late to redirect the spiral of technological evolution? Why or why not? 

Do you think we can see the difference between good and bad technology, or is it all to similar to see which is which? ]]> 2021-01-22 20:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1115776293 xmk5161_1 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1493888339 It can be used to express a warning for the future because of how time was currently going at the time for the person who wrote the book so they thought I should write this to warn future people to avoid this from happening.]]> 2021-05-05 14:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1493888339 xmk5161_1 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1493891054 They can be used to help because they are based around some truth that’s going on in the book.]]> 2021-05-05 14:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1493891054 xmk5161_1 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1493893838 All the media and electrical devices we have and how books are becoming less relevant but they are on those devices.]]> 2021-05-05 14:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1493893838 xmk5161_1 https://padlet.com/jnieves13_1/udgxuwj5jzo41b2x/wish/1493902765 How can we prevent this from happening in the future?
