Kyle the Ninja. - "Feed"

Feed is about life in the U.S. in the future. It doesn't mention other countries but I assume other countries are also involved. In the future the world has become so technologically advanced that people have like little I-phones in their head. They have computers that link to the feed network and everything you think and do is affected by the Feed. About 73% of Americans have them. It has become such a important part of their lives that they can't live normally without it. Everything in the book either happens on the moon or in the city that Titus and his friends live in. The book is written from Titus' point of view so everything is from a 14 year old boys point of view. Being a teenager most of the book is him chatting with his friends so he pretty much talks like he's texting. He has a very carefree attitude, obviously because he's a kid. He doesn't care about the world around him and in fact is totally oblivious to it all. Violet is more interested in the news and what's going on around the world. The book kind of gives the idea that most people don't care about the world around them unless your part of one of the rebellious groups. People who live in this society pretty much do their job and are affected by all the media going around in their head. The book randomly gives a random ad for a random product which is to prove the point that media has taken over our society and the society Titus lives in.

Shelbee - "City of Ember"

The City of Ember is set in a world where man kind was about to end, so scientists created a city underground, they also had to populate it. The city was supposed to last for 200 years, but I think that the scientists did not realize that all there power would fail. They left a message that was supposed to be sent to people above, and that message got lost, 2 people have to unlock the code and save all man kind. They also were losing there food so everyone is about to die.

Tianna - "The People of Sparks"

The book 'The People of Sparks' is set in the future after the whole world has had a war with itself, called 'The Disaster'. In the future the world is destroyed and has to start all over after The Disaster, but there are a few cities left on earth. The city of Sparks is one of them, this is the main place that the book is set in. It doesn't say where they specifically are but somewhere on earth. In this book there isn't a government that controls and brain washes the people to make them feel carefree. The city of Sparks has 3 leaders in a council that make the major decisions for the city, but other than that the people make their decisions themselves, like today. The people of ember come up from the underground city and don't know much about the 'outside' world. When the people of Ember come into the city of Sparks they don't get treated the way they would like to be treated. The people of Sparks don't like having to share all there food and shelter, they want the people of Ember out, this creates a riot and the two groups of people start to fight. Everyone is getting angry at the other side of people and its just building up anger inside them. Soon there anger will burst and The Disaster will happen all over again, if no one stops it from coming.

Group Setting The 2 books "Feed" and "The People of Sparks" are very different Dystopian books. They are both dystopian novels but there settings are very different. In "Feed" the world is very technologically advanced and controlled by the media and technology. In "The People of Sparks", the people are starting over anew after the world ended in an apocolypse. The people of Ember just learned that they are not the last people on earth and there are other humans struggling to live after the wars and such. They join with the people of Sparks and have a loose little goevernment. "Feed" on the other hand is controlled by the U.S. government and even more controlled by the media. The people in "The People of Sparks" are only concerned with survival. They aren't concerned with government and being controlled like in typical dystopian books. The people in "Feed" are very carefree. They are ignorant of the power the feed has over them and are just concerned with enjoying lifes pleasures. The book does mention that some people and groups do riot against the feed, but they aren't very strong. The mood in "The People of Sparks" is very tense. They have lots of problems between the 2 groups. In "Feed" it's a party mood because the characters in the book are all teenagers with all this technology in their hands. Back to the Home Page
