Sickness VS. Health

2013-09-19 12:44:13 UTC

Usually in dystopian cultures the sick are the first to be culled from the 'perfect' society. For example: the Zombie half of the class would be shunned or possibly even 'vaporized' to protect the rest of the class from infection. -Amelia

Economic Division

The Books We Read

Why do you think reading is the first thing taken away in any dystopian culture? -Amelia

Crime is a conflict, it creates more conflict, and it's linked to other conflicts.

Accents
