SETTING ﻿Setting for Catching Fire, By Suzanne Collins, distopian project. By colton black The setting for this book takes place on the continent of North America, after the country has been torn apart by a world war III, many years in the future; where certain people live in 13 districts ridden with poverty and inequality, and where some people live in the capital city where everyone else gets the easy life. The atmosphere and mood of this is very dark because of how the author describes their society. There are not many other locations in the book, but it has alot going on in it. (Do you want to mention the arena? It is a big locale for the book. Also, what about the government and how they are manipulating the 13 districts? Mrs. P)﻿ oh, yeah, i forgot to tell about the arena. so, this arena is a punishment for the districts rebellious acts, they have to send their kids in the arena ( 2 for every district) every year to fight eachother to the death. the winner gets food and shelter and money for the rest of their lives.

My book is the Barcode Tattoo. My book it set around 2025. My character is mostly in the city that she lives in. Main places are her highschool, her house, and the warehouse. She is also in the forest a lot. The society is pretty much like ours, everyone wants to get the latest fad, the barcode tattoo. It holds all your insurance and things like drivers licences so people think its really convenient, but the main character doesn't want to get one because she thinks there is something more contained in the barcode tattoo, but once its required by law to get one she has to run for her life! The mood is very, take over the world aggressive. This is a really good book, I'd recomend it in a heartbeat. -Alyssa

This is the Setting Comparison. After we talked about the government, society/people, technology/lifestyle/living arrangements, and the atmosphere/mood of our books we pointed out the differences and similarities of those things in our books. In C.F.(Catching Fire), B.C.T.(Bar Code Tattoo), and S.C.(Shadow's Children) there is a dictatorship and their government is mostly tyranny. Although, in G. (Gone) there is no goverment, it's fend for yourself. And in C.E. (City of Ember) it's a democracy. G. and S.C. are similar in the way that everone is taken away at age 15 or 16. In B.C.T. and C.F. they are mad at the government. In C.E. everything is rationed and you don't get a choice in the career you get like in Anthem. G and C.E. have similar level of technologies and cramped living conditions, B.C.T. and S.C. are slightly more advanced in thier technology than modern times. C.F. is technically advanced and have harsh living conditions. In B.C.T. rich have good life and the poor suffer. In S.C. there is a clean but fearful lifestyle. C.F. B.C.T. and S.C. are all energetic and tense and everyone is rebeling against the government. In G. its every man for themselves. Anc in C.E. they bring everybody together to survive.
