going on in the movie/novel to their own personal lives. These are the reason that I think teens like dystopian stories. So evidently I think teens relate to dystopian novels/movies like “Anthem” or “The Maze Runner”, because of the relatability of them to their own personal lives.
How can modern teens relate to the dystopian novel “Anthem By: Ann Rand”? I think teens can relate to the novel Anthem because the main character is a teen. Also because in this novel everyone is controlled by someone I figure that most teens feel in someway that someone is always controlling them. That is one way that I suppose teens can Relate to the novel “Anthem”. Another way is, most teens want to do what they want to do and not listen to what other people

Teens can relate to the dystopian movie “The Maze Runner” because, in this movie the main characters are teens, so that can make this movie more appealing and relatable to them. Another reason is that they are trapped somewhere and they have to work together to find a way out, some teens could relate this to their lives because sometimes you are caught in difficult situations that forces you to work together with other to accomplish your goal and accomplish the situation, just like in “The Maze Runner”. Additionally, in this movie everyone takes care of everyone, and everyone does jobs so everyone can survive. So teens might relate to this because, some people are in groups or in the home lives or anything where they have to help others and do whatever it takes to make sure they're doing their part. Consequently, I think these are some ways that teens find this dystopian movie appealing and relatable to their modern day …show more content…
These two dystopian novels and movies are alike in many ways but they are also very different in many ways. In particular, they are similar because they both have main characters that are teens. Furthermore, they are similar because they both have very difficult situations that they are dealing with and trying to find a way to deal with it. Another thing is that in both, there are people that think what they are doing is wrong and that they need to stop. That is a few way that these stories are the similar in some ways. Consequently these two stories are very different in many ways. With this in mind, one way that they are different are that in the novel “Anthem” everyone know that they are controlled by other people, but in the movie “The Maze Runner” they don't know that people are watching them and controlling them. This is one way that the two are different from each other. Additionally, they are different because in “Anthem” , everyone's jobs are assigned to them and they do everything that there told and always listen, but in “The Maze Runner”, everyone helps everyone and everyone has a say in everything. This is how I think the novel “Anthem” and the movie “The Maze Runner” are different from each other. To conclude, there are many ways that these two are similar and different , depending on how you look at it, but these are the similarities and differences in my
In both works we see similar events being focused on. However in both novels we also get two different emotional responses to everything that happens. Both the novel and the film make us as the viewer and reader experience an emotional connection with the characters. The largest theme that is present in both works is the inhumanity toward other humans.
The plot and setting of the novel are highly relatable to teenagers as the setting of the school deals with real life situations. In the book Lockie’s mother talks to him about puberty and relationships this relates to teenagers as everyone has to go through it at some point in life. In the book it claims Lockie has fallen in love at 12 years of age this is completely inaccurate as he doesn’t know what real love is and she is just using him for sexual interactions. Lockie’s mother and father are supportive of his choices in life which most parents are, but not all kids have caring parents in their life.
What is a dystopian society? This is a society that is characterized by oppression, misery, and the illusion of a perfect society. Why do so many people like movies that are a dystopian society? What makes it so entertaining? Is it there connection to their own lives?
This government is very much the opposite. Everyone is very blind and obedient in Anthem. Despite following different ideas, the book and movie possess many similarities. Where both stories create symbolism and a corrupt government, Rand promotes individuality, but Moore promotes unity as a means to seek change.
While the similarities are smaller, like the considerate personalities shared between the main characters of both
Comparisons and Contrasts of Fahrenheit 451 and Anthem The novel Fahrenheit 451 is written with aspects of a society similar to that of Anthem in relation to their futuristic governments and dynamic characters. Montag in Fahrenheit 451 is faced with multiple challenges comparable to those of Prometheus in Anthem. Although each character plays a different role, they are both striving to achieve freedoms and happiness. The wellbeing of themselves and others is predominately the main concern for both Montag and Prometheus.
The second thing that Lord of the Flies has over Anthem is that it has a much deeper meaning. In Anthem the meaning is simply that people should have individuality, while in Lord of the Flies there are many different things that it could represent
Anthem is a story written by Ayn Rand as a propaganda piece portraying the evils of communism. The book takes place in the future in a undisclosed city surrounded by forest. In this city a collectivist society dwells. The conflict of Anthem is character vs. society where one man by the name of Equality decides to go against his broken government. Equality took a stand against his broken society, he has defied the council of scholars and his government, had a relation with a women, and escaped the city to The Uncharted Forest.
Dystopia is a popular genre in which authors write about a fictional society that is perceived to be perfect and ideal by the vast majority of the people in it. Authors must intrigue the reader, and this is difficult because they have to somehow illustrate a future that is vaguely similar to ours. However, it has to be completely fictional, which makes it tough to formulate realistic storylines. Nevertheless, these authors use literary elements to counter these difficulties and produce realistic characters and you can see this when Ray Bradbury, Ayn Rand, and James Dashner use symbolism in their respected novels, Fahrenheit 451, Anthem, and The Maze Runner. This literary technique gives Dystopian Literature the uniqueness and adds the key elements to make the story flow.
This emotional satisfaction stems from the “remembered hurts which then get recast into symbols” (Denby 11) and are eventually eliminated or fixed when “the outsider who joins the system also modifies it” (Denby 13). The system he mentions is the social constructs American teens create for themselves as they view the world is constantly judging them and they constantly judge the world. The high school teen movie genre in a whole is an inaccurate representation of reality, according to Denby. They are “merely a set of conventions that refer to other films” (Denby 4) and simply reaffirm for the yearning viewers that “the outsiders can be validated only by the people who ostracized them” (Denby 13) creating yet another unrealistic
Youth culture can pertain to interests in styles, music, clothes and sports. It also pertains to behaviours, beliefs, and vocabulary; this refers to the ways that teenagers conduct their lives. The concept behind youth culture is that adolescents are a subculture with norms, morals, behaviours and values that differ from the main culture of older generations within society. For instance, young men and women, teenagers in this case, are mostly represented as unpredictable and not easy to understand. In the film, Mean Girls directed by Mark Waters (2004), adolescents are represented as bullies, who use manipulation to achieve what they want and are two-faced with the people around them; they are constantly stereotyped as a high social group like the plastics and a low social group like the mathletes; also they are presented as young people that fall under peer pressure, and are overly concerned about their appearance and about being socially accepted.
In observation of oppression, Sammy proves the surprising yet often discerned motivation of the teenager: dismantle wrongdoing and protect common peers (especially when desire is at the doorstep). Held within the confines of the store, Sammy discovers a longing for these three girls through the contrast of the background; without it, Queenie and her friends may remain confined and their indecency not captured. While most may oppose the teenagers’ apparel, Updike illustrates that adolescents are powerful; strength, fortitude, and discovery are instantaneous, even in The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. Ultimately, A&P is a cultural awakening; adults, guardians, and leaders must recognize that adolescents are vulnerable and passionate. Without support and understanding, teenagers are likely to make rash, abrupt decisions.
Although there are many differences between the two, there are also many similarities. Like how in both the movie and the novel she outsmarts the
Despite the large gap in time between their publishing, they share many obvious similarities in their interpretation of futuristic dystopian societies. However, the subtle similarities of the use of children and hope to control population is
¨I dystopian futures are also a reflection of current fears( Lauren Oliver)¨. The reason that they all live in these dystopian societies is because they fear that the future holds. This shows that they fear what is going to happen so they have all these rules that the people don 't want to follow but because it is punishable by death they do, but there is always the ones who don 't. Both novels are very popular and will be for quite some time. Dystopian literature is so popular among the teens because they are all alike that makes them more appealing to the readers. Both Anthem and Divergent are both very popular among the younger ages.
