“How could it live out here?” Lisa’s arm swept the horizon. “There’s nothing to live on. It’s got to be modified.” She studied it closely, then glanced at Jaak. “Are you sure nothing’s coming in on the perimeter? This isn’t some kind of decoy?”(Bacigalupi)The dystopian world tends to feel as if animals should not be able to exist. The dog becomes a happiness for Jaak and his fellow mates but due to the fact that this creature tends to change their lives. In Sand and Slag however, the dog lives in the dystopian world due to the fact that he has later become isolated and desperate in need of love and affection. The dog in the end after all gets put in the dystopian position and is stuck in barbed wires on the beach and getting injured. The reality shows that Lisa tends to have more feeling for the dog living in the etopia state while Jaak mainly thinks about the dystopian state of the dog getting roasted over the petrolium of the beaches thinking that they were better without the dog when the dog tended to be the animal that was there for there happiness. “Lisa roasted the dog on a spit, over burning plastics and petroleum skimmed from the ocean. It tasted okay, but in the end it was hard to understand the big deal...Without the dog, we could really enjoy the

    In Chapter Three in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, there is a pressing scene in which Candy's dog meets his demise. Carlson first suggests Candy shoot his beloved companion and then turns it into a personal goal of his that the dog does not walk out of the room alive. He thinks the dog doesn’t have any real value, and is better off dead; this belief is a reflection of what happens when usefulness is outlived in this harsh society. The lonely silence that follows the killing shows the emptiness of the room, and the sorrow that follows. This scene is significant because it shows how the dog, who is a cripple and old, is a metaphor for Candy, who will soon outlive his usefulness; the dog is also a symbol of the loneliness the other men feel, and

  • Essay On Dystopian Literature

    1118 Words  | 5 Pages

    Dystopian literature explores social, political and economic structures by showing us, through a nightmare world, the negative characteristics using exaggerated critiques on real world issues. The Dystopian literature of the 21st century is the complete opposite of the Utopia of the 21st century. While a Utopia is an imagined state of things in which everything is perfect, while a dystopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. According to John Adams; "The roots of the word dystopia "dys" and "topia" are from the Ancient Greek for “bad” and “place,” and so we use the term to describe an unfavorable society in which to live. “Dystopia” is not a synonym for “post-apocalyptic”; it also is not a synonym
