Topic

In my first paper for the novel WE i want to argue the imagination of the children now days and how the imgaination of children does not exist in the One State also in my paper i will also talk about how the imagintion of children is decreasing becasue of the internet, video games, television.

We

In general i did not like the book but i got over it and read it but lastnight when i was reading the final records i realized that in the beginning of the novel the citizens of the One State acted like people from the 70's the girls were expected to do the house work usually one schedule and they didnt really show their emotions on anything and the guys worked and didnt show emotion either boys were always and still told not to cry which obviously is a form of emotion . The people of One State in the begignning showed no emotion but towards the end they showed every emotion that they were feeling anger, sadness, happieness...ect. just like the people now do. Im not sure why i thought of that so far into the novel but im glad that i actually realized that.

State of the Union Address 2011

The only thing that i found interesting was the quote by Obama, " We can't win the future with the government of the past."

Dislikes

In the One State i would most be unhappy with not having a family. The One State seemes lonley anyway and not having people you can trust and people that love you would be hard. I call or text my mom and dad everyday and i skype my little sister at least once a week or more..if i didnt have my family i would be the strong, optimistic person i am today.

Historical Strategies

The historical strategies explains where the novel takes place and when the novel was written. The novel was written in the 1920's but was based on the extreme future..past our time now, because the narrator is talking to us as their unknown reader and as ancestors. The novel also takes place in One State which to the reader is a somewhat of a mysterious place because from what i understand it is very secluded and is run by one controlling benefactor that is seen once a year...the one very important fact is that the extreme future is controlled and there is no individualism. The strategy is used very well throughout the book.

Me!

Hey, I'm Taysha Marie Hubbard and I was born and raised in South Dakota. I'm a very strong and competitive person and I love playing or trying any sport. Volleyball is my favorite. My number one most important thing in my life is my family they are always there for me when I feel like I can't be strong, and that is one of the reasons why I went to school close to home, I decided when I was a freshman in high school that I wanted to go to school to be a dentist, then my senior year I applied for a dental hygiene major and now that I have shadowed more I think that I make my major Pre-Dentistry. Well now that you know more about me I have to go!
