Dystopia Now, Has my Thoughts Changed?

  By kjacks59 May 11, 2023 - 21:16 May 11, 2023 General

To me a dystopian society is just that, the opposite of a utopian society adding to more of that “dys’ ‘ also just means bad so I think bad society, unorganized dysfunctional and everything in between.

Dystopia-Different Ways I See it

  By kjacks59 January 28, 2023 - 23:55 January 29, 2023 General

When I first discussed the word dystopia, I believe I was in 8th grade, and my class read The Giver, so we talked about two different societies. We talked about a dystopian & utopian society. I remember really enjoying this lesson because not only did we read the book that Continue reading
