 * Major Locations,
 * What the Society is like, and the
 * Atmosphere/Mood of the setting.

Braydon- In //Life As We Knew It// it takes place in our day but because the moon has been knocked out of orbit natural disasters are occuring more than usual. The main character lives in Howell, Pennsylvania. I do not know whether this is a real city or not. The main locations are: the house Miranda (main character) lives in, Millers Pond, and Mrs. Nesbitt's house. Our government is still the same (I think George W. Bush is president) except everyone is isolated because no electricity is working. It is look out for yourself for everyone in this book. Everyone is depressed. It feels like the end of the world. No one is happy. There are a couple of uplifting chapters but that is about all from happiness.

Taten- //Maze Runner// takes place in what seems to be the future. You cannot quite tell how far into the future it is, but it seems to be the future. It is set in a place called "the Glade". It is a moderate sized place, almost a valley. "The Glade" is surrounded by a giant maze, that the kids who live in "the Glade" think that they have to get through it, I do no know yet if they were told to go through it or if they just assumed. But the maze changes everyday, and there are monsters in the maze. The main character of the story is a boy named Thomas. He starts the story by waking up in an elevator, a dark elevator. He later emegess out of the elevator (with the help of some other people) into "the Glade". Nobody will tell him what is going on, but they did tell him that they will tell him what they know sometime. Thomas is very confused, and seems to have anger problems. To me he seems like one of those kids who just needs to be slapped in the face to be put into his place.

Megan N.-The book im reading is //Hunger.// the time period is in the modern day. It's in Perdido Beach, California. Sam Temple is the main character, he is 14 almost 15 and loves to surf. He seceretly is in love with Astrid The Genius. although she is extremely smart she is also extermely beautiful. One day everyon over the age of 14 just dissapears into thin air. Sam accidently becomes the leader after perfoming a selfless act of service that could have killed him. After a while kids begin to go against Sam because he is unable to fix everyones problems. The technology here is the way it is now. Everyone is hungry because at the begining of this whole disaster they all stuffed themselves with candy bars, chips and cookies. Now there is no more food and they blame it on Sam. The kids are now eating theri nieghbors cats just to have something in thei stomach. Some kids have developed strange powers such as super speed, super strength and laser beams theat come out of the persons hands. Chaos is everywhere and no one is getting along. it's up to Sam to save the world.

Madison- //Hunger Games// takes place a couple hunderd years in the futer after we had to rebuild our socioty. The country that the main characters live in is still where America use to be. The major locations are District 12 where the main character, Katniss, lives, the training facity in the capitol, the arena, and a cave where Katniss and this other character, Peeta, hide. The socoity in this book is ruled by a very strict government. The government over rules and fights hard to distory even the slightest spark of rebellion. The atmosphere of the book is very dark and angry because everyone in the socity has had it with the goverment.

=__**Group-**__= =__ GOVERNMENT: __= In //Life as We Knew it// and //Hunger// there is an established working (sort of) government. The governments are crazy and disorginized because of the situation in the books, but they are still established and functioning. In the Maze Runner there is no established "this is the government" people. There are people who say they are in charge but no "government".

__ THE SOCIETY/PEOPLE: __ The society of //Maze Runner// and //Hunger// both only have children or "young adults" in the book. In //Life as We Knew it// the people are of all ages. Also in all three books the society is disfunctional (if you could even call it a "society) and is almost not even present. So the three books are the same as in the society (being disfunctional) but the actual people are not the same.

__ THE TECHNOLOGY/LIFESTYLE/LIVING ARRANGEMENTS : __ In //Life as We Knew it// and //Hunger// they both have houses like we do today, where in //Maze Runner// the houses are shacks. //In Life as We Knew it// and //Hunger// the technology is about how it is in todays society with computers and stuff like that. In //The Maze Runner// people live in shacks and have no technology like we do today.

__ Mood/Atmosphere: __ In //Hunger// and //Life as We Knew it// the theme is very depressing and dark. Everyone seems to be sad or just down. Everything feels dark about the book. In //Maze Runner// it is not neccessarily dark and depressing, although it is in a depressing place because of the fact that they are stuck in a maze, it is not depressing. The characters don't really seem to look at it as depressing.
