Caleb Farrar-In my series, the arc of a Scythe trilogy, many people seem to lose their morals due to the fact that they, no matter how many times they die they always are able to come back to life unless killed by a "Scythe" who's job is to do so. Rowan Damisch and Citra Terranova, because of their morals are chosen by the Honorable Scythe Faraday to become Scythes. As time goes on though they are pitted in a contest for the role of a Scythe permanently killing the other. Rowan must later train under Scythe Goddard who unlike Faraday, fails to uphold morals and abuses Rowan, Citra however, continues to train under another honorable Scythe. Rowan is trained to kill without mercy under Goddard who kills hundreds, exceeding his killing quota never meant to be exceeded. Through the course of this time period morals are tested and abused consistently and Goddard eventually becomes the most powerful Scythe in the world, abolishing the quota to satisfy his bloodlust. Scythes all over the world start to enjoy killing and do so in painful methods, and Rowan is twisted into a merciless killing machine while Citra continues to uphold her standards and kill with sympathy. Many kill others and commit suicide just because they know they'll come back and the world transforms into a painful dystopia.
Logan: This is related to my book because after some time (12 years in my book), everything in Canaan falls into chaos as everyone forgets all memories. This is related by the chaos and bloodshed that happens during the Forgetting.
Ely: Wow this sounds intense. I can definitely see the future dangers that this book brings. Like how many will die and possible the two Scythes. This sounds like a good book and I can tell it has many dangers to come.
Hadley- The author is telling us that children are the future. No matter how annoying, trouble making, or unfocused they are, they are still kids. If we lose sight of that, like people in my book did, the world deteriorates because there are no more teenagers to grow up and pick up slack when adults can't continue. Plus, the teenagers left are ANGRY. They won't want to do anything that contributes to the society that left them for dead.
This is kind of like my book, Origin, in the sense that kids are the future. The people in my book think immortality is the future, but the immortal gene is created with a special plant injected into a human, and then their children many generations later will have immortal children. There is only one of the immortals in my book so far, yet the scientists seem to forget, as she is completely kept from the world, (they don't want her to want to leave) and when there are only immortals, all geography will be lost.
Eire In my book, the human race was wiped out by AI. Everyone put their trust into these machines and the machines turned on them killing everyone. The author is also warning us that humans have the tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again. He is also telling us the importance of privacy. In the city of Shreve, where they use spy dust to watch everyone,no one is happy because they can't have different opinions that the first family. But in the city of Paz, where privacy is the most important thing, everyone is happy and the city has culture.
This is related to my book because, like how people are able to watch people with "spy dust" the Thunderhead, the AI that runs the human race, is always spying on people and no one is able to truly have privacy. The Thunderhead later identifies something it was never even supposed to find, which could impact humanity in a negative way.
My book is a little similar to your.In my book clones are being used as slaves. Humans are making silly mistakes in not letting them have their freedom.

Damiya Walker In my book the author hints certain problems in the future that only Jenna (the main character in my book) will have to decide. Since Jenna has been in a terrible accident, she is made of technology and only has 10% of her brain left which creates a problem. She can either continue to live for two more years, or 200. If she decides 2 years, then she will have to leave her family and her boyfreind that she has just fell in love with. If she decides 200 years, she will have to watch everyone she knows die while she still has decades to live.
Riley Ewing- In my book, A Face Like Glass, Clarisse made a mistake by spilling wine on the table at an important and very proper reunion. She was told not to anything by her master so she didn't embarrass her master and her master's family. She covered up the spill because she knew she was going to get in trouble, but later they found it. Nobody thought it was Clarisse, so she felt guilty and confessed it. Currently in my book Clarisse is facing a punishment/test and she is confused and does not know what is going on. This society is very strict, so she could be facing a serious punishment.
Alejandra, I think that this situation relates to my society in my novel. There are very strict rules that are strictly enforced. Everything is taken as a big deal, such as you character Clarisse. Dahlia, the main character, likes to follow the rules and people are punished severely by following them. Because of a rule Dahlia has broken, she must also take a test to see if her genome if flawed. If it is, then the society must kill all 5,000 of her clones.
Mason Farrar😎- My book hinted towards future dangers by causing Roosevelt's death, as Roosevelt is immortal. This hints towards future dangers as they do all the tests on him before Pia, to make sure she won't die, but now that the rat did die, Pia knows she is not immortal, and she might be in more danger than she thought. This hints to future dangers as earlier, there was no danger, but now there is a way Pia can die.
William My book is cinder. What relates my book to the question is, in the future there is a population on the moon called Lunars, they have a talent of manipulating the brain to make you think they look different or to control your body for you to do their bidding. What the author warned me about was, Cinder's sister is the only one who loves her and you could just tell that she was going to die. or at least get close to it, like most books.

ReplyDeleteI agree with this blog because since the main character has embarresed her master, we do not know what is in store for her in the future.

DeleteI like this paragraph because, when the author hints toward danger and there is the great reveal, you don't know what will happen next.
