Group Book Setting Discussion : In the four different dystopian books that the Pink Tigers are reading, the settings are different but with few simmilarities. In each book generally there is a Capitol, or a group of leaders who are in charge. These are the people who make all the rules and tell the people how they should live, what they should and shouldn't feel, and how to live there lives. The Heads of State have all the top resouces, of the cities, and they distribute them out however and to whom ever they choose. The family life in the stories differ also. In some, the children live with there birth parents, but others they are born and then assigned to a specific family. The People in the books have different feelings toward the Government or the people in charge, Some just accept the fact and try to live in a way that is pleasing to there government. Then there are those who hate the government and rebel against every thing they ever knew. The settings in each of these books have different affects on the main charater. It shapes them and helps them grow through out the book.

Book 1: Chantelle The Uglies: The Uglies is set many years in the future, after the city was destroyed by a bacteria that got into all the oil contaminating it.

Book 2:

Book 3: Amber-The Giver: The Giver is set in the present time, where different age groups have different things set upon them. In these age groups, when they are born they get put in a permanit home with not their birth mom, but a different family. According to who applied for the child and who was a good choice for the child. When the child gets placed in their homes with their family's, it is in a small cottage in a small town. In the mornings the family in the cottages share their dreams of the previous night, then they go to their assinged jobs or they go to school. When they get home from their day, they eat their dinner and share their feelings for the day.

Book 4 : Cody Grosland. In the Hunger Games, the setting kinda reminds me of detroit, at least thats what I'm getting out of it. When i say that i mean that they are living in povergnty. They are all poor, or at least most of the people are poor there are the few people that have money and can afford to live in nicer houses. The way that the society is built up makes it so that the people aren't really that joyfull, they are in more of a depressing kind of mood. The people barely have enough for food and so the are forced to break the ruels just to get enough food for their families. From what i have read in my book, it seems like that government uses fear to controll the people. The government is kind of like communism and totalitarianism combined.
