Ely Charqueno: In my book, the Hunger Games, the main character has entered an arena. In this arena, they try to kill each other for last man standing. This goes to show, because of the brutality, the society is obviously corrupt. The Hunger Games is a punishment where twenty-four people are chosen to fight to the death. Before the Capitol made the Hunger Games, they were raided and was attempted to be destroyed. Because of these actions, the Capitol decided to make a punishment where kids would destroy each other. This shows the society is very corrupt and cruel. This setting in the arena is a big forest with few streams, plenty of animals, and fireballs. The people from the Capitol will do anything to make the Hunger Games fun for anyone watching it, even if it means killing people. All the Capitol wants are views. Anyway, this also goes to show that this society will do anything to get what they want. Either revenge or views, they will do anything and everything.
Hadley- The setting in this book is perfect for certain people to be able to do whatever they want, while others have no freedom at all. If you want to survive the arena, you have to play the Capitol's game. Or you die. Or you might win, and be doomed to media attention, publicity, and absolutely no privacy for the rest of your life.
Alejandra, In my novel, the setting greatly supports the dystopian society theme. The main character lives in a very fenced city with 20 feet high cement walls surrounding the city. Around the perimeter of the city are multiple soldiers guarding the gates to enter and exit. The housing inside of the city would be described as bland because everyone has the same house, car, furniture, and the dorms where my main character lives in. A person can't walk alone in the city without an escort because they are only allowed in their training ward or facility. Also,because there are clones,the society wants to hide differences and make everyone the same. That is why they don't want them going anywhere alone. There are about 5 facilities and each of them represent different work forces. Each one of them is guarded by multiple soldiers that enforce the rules. This society is sending soldiers because they want to make sure that everyone follows the rules. Finally, the society wants them to know what only they want them to know and that the people know their place in the city.
Brooklee- The setting in my book plays a part in the theme being a dystopian society because they are locked inside this dark and gray fortress with no way to escape. My characters are forced to work in a very dim lit space. The setting is even described more than once in the book as having a post in the courtyard. You will go there if you disobey an order to get a lashing.
Daela- The setting of my book is called the Oria Province and a neighborhood is called a Borough. The way that it works as a dystopa is that all of houses have to look the same on the outside you can't decorate to your tastes. There is also a curfew in the Province.

This setting sounds really intense, and as you said, boring and bland. I can see definitely how this contributes to the dystopian society theme.
