TheEducatedSetting

Setting  ﻿Rachel Harrison The book I read was Hunger Games. The story mainly takes place in the futuristic arena placed in the capitol the book cleverly tells you that the capitol is in mountains in what used to be called North America, which is know referred to as Panem. But when you first start reading, it is placed in a place known as the Seam which is in the twelfth districts. It is poorest area in the district and is the home of the main character, Katniss. The atmosphere is rather depressing there, every day you see people dying of hunger out in the streets, and people trying to trade their only belongings for a loaf of bread. Yet in the capitol, people are happy, food is plenty and they have rather high tech technology (they use it to dye their skin, hair, eyes, anything). The story then goes to the actual capitol where you get a feal for things and it is where the training area is. Then finally you journey over to the arena, where the Hunger Games begin!

Paige Turner I chose to read The Dead and the Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer. The book takes place in New York, near Queens, in a futuristic time. Blackouts and chaos have ravaged the city because an asteroid knocked the moon too close to Earth. The people of the city have to live off of what food they can find in their homes or what they can steal. There are grocery stores, but since there is no power, most of the refrigerated foods and produce spoil before anybody can get to it. The atmosphere or mood in the book is sort of depressing and dark because of chaos, starvation, and death.

Rylee C My book that I chose is The Declaration by Gemma Malley. This book takes place in London, England in a futuristic year that I can’t remember. The humans have some up with this drug called Longevity that renews your cells and allows you to live forever. With all these people never dying, they have banned anyone from having children. Anyone who breaks this law has their “surplus” child taken away to one of the many “Surplus Halls”. The setting of these halls is really depressing, all the kids are taught that their very existence is a crime and they need to basically become a slave to society and all the “Legal” people. The setting outside of these halls is boring because all these lame old people are bored of living the same thing over and over without dying.

Dalila Rodriguez In the book The giver, the story takes place in the future in a "Idealistic" utopian society. Everyone seems to be "perfect", families don't have any problems, they don't argue, what parents say goes. People don't really mess up, but if they do they get punished for it, you can't mess up more then 3 times, messing up more then 3 times means 3 strikes your out. The families in the giver are assigned, when the child is born they get a perminant home with a random family,the families have to share their feelings with each other before going to bed and after going to bed. Everything is set up to be perfect.
