I am from Brave New World, the society is based around stability but with this comes the shallowness of true happiness at the cost of art, science, and freedom. The totalitarian government known as the World State, which is embodied by ten world controllers. I am highly intelligent, being a former physicist who consciously chose stability, happiness, and control over the truth and freedom. I am one of the ten global leaders, responsible for maintaining stability in the World State. My world is a post-apocalyptic society, rebuilding itself after nine years and is defined as a totalitarian surveillance state masked as a utopia. Control is not maintained through the threat of violence or constant surveillance, but through a total, life-long manipulation of human nature itself. The system is designed for the citizens to "love their servitude" and never think to rebel.

In my story climate change has forever changed the world. because of climate change most people can't dream except us. native Americans. now the government hunts us for our bone marrow to make a cure for a problem that they cause. I now spent my days hiding and trying to keep my culture alive and show the young ones that its okay to be scared but we can't lose our identities in the process. I cant give up so I must fight to protect my people. I'm scared that we might get caught but I'm also scared that we wont remember who we are and where we came from. A big piece of our identities is our language which teach to the children. we are controlled by the white men and the government and they've truly destroyed the world we cherished. it almost always rains here and we are constantly on the move because we are among the survivors who've yet to be caught.. I am Minerva and I wont give up.

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel about the future of America where certain books are banned and the government burns all prohibited items in order to limit individual thoughts from the civilians. If you are found with any “contraband” you are taken and forced to “conform” to society norms by any means possible. I am Clarisse McClellan, Montag's neighbor. I’m 17. People usually call me “crazy” or “wild” just because I am brave enough to ask the questions that others won't. All I want is human connection and if the government continues to have the same control / power that they do now I'm afraid that it may never happen. Fahrenheit 451 is a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. America changed its way of functioning after a long and gruesome war. They “rewrite history” by retracting all of the books that painted them in a “bad” light. In reality these books are only acknowledging the wrongdoings of the government.

We struggle for survival against this place, and it wedges between a strict order needed by leaders like me, but also the reckless, and innovative lead like Thomas; all trying to find a way out of the maze that surrounds us. But what we didn’t know, it was all an experiment from WICKED to find a cure for the Flare, a deadly brain-eating virus that has caused the outside world into a hectic place. I am Gally, a main leader, a Keeper of the Builders. I work and keep us safe by using intimidation to keep everything in order. I have fear for what is outside the maze, and it should not be played with. But even with this Thomas is one who brings chaos, and hatred from me. I now know what the world truly is a corporate-controlled society and post-apocalyptic; WICKED induced fear into us using threats with the Grievers, to confine us and prevent rebellion. Here in the totalitarian surveillance state, we were monitored. Our memories were wiped upon our entry in the Glades. I was manipulated into doing things I regret, but changed into someone later who helps.

I am Dr Tyrell THE scientist. The Creator of Replicants. I am like a god living above the broken and abandoned . I am driven by profit , power and business. I desire to make the most perfect beings ever to exist and I fear losing control over them. I rule the earth by capitalism and by an authoritarian system. The earth is a post-apocalyptic and corporate technology dystopia . It is ruined by nuclear wars ,becoming nothing but a wasteland . A world that is heavily influenced by neon advertisements and Japanese culture , where natural life is almost extinct . That earth is filled with intellectual machines called replicants, and are considered more humane than actual humans . The replicants are created and then implanted with emotions and memories from actual humans. The specific implanted memory predicts their future actions. In this world me and my corporation holds the power along with the LAPD, Los Angeles Police Department. In contrast to the earth, my world is peaceful, luxurious and isolated. At some point in time a crisis arose in which Rachel and Roy,replicants, developed human emotions, memories and desires , causing humans to fear their humanity and question their own, resulting in the prohibition of replicants on earth . The core stake revolves around whether artificial sentient beings with implanted memories possess souls and if they deserve rights, therefore replicants seek to fight against their programmed expiration date,death.

The institution of Hailsham is the main organization in power who manage the human cloning system. I have no fears, motivations or desires. Once I helped my two friends Kathy and Tommy seek a deferral. I used to have hope but have learned to accept my fate and each passing day I wait to be completed. My organs were harvested after being completed which caused my death so if your reading this hopefully this will explain what type of world I lived in. The world I come from also is under constant surveillance to ensure human clones do not escape or cause unnecessary trouble. Being constantly surveillanced is a method the institution of hailsham used to control us human clones.

Captain Beatty

I am Captain Beatty. I am a highly superior character as I am the captain of the fire department. I carry myself with intelligence and knowledge, which puts me to a greater advantage. I like to manipulate others, and show my power through my top-level position. In this totalitarian dystopian world, I believe that books are a main way of destroying society. They are weapons, as books are full of knowledge and power. I will not let anyone gain greater power over myself. In my world, books are illegal. My firemen’s job is to start fires, rather than put them out, so that all books can be demolished. I control this world, and I maintain the minimal power that my community holds. Comments are closed.
