  • Elements In Fahrenheit 451, Anthem, And The Maze Runner

    1086 Words  | 5 Pages

    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.

    Utopian Society A Utopian society would be possible, if humans were not an intelligent species. The way that a utopian society works is, there is a figure that no one knows about. Like big brother in 1984, that does not make itself known, but at the same time has to power to do whatever it wants. Another reason that a utopian society can function is because the citizens that live in it, are ignorant and do not want to put forth the effort to think about what is really going on.

    Utopia by Thomas More, in my opinion, has the most compelling argument out off all of the texts. I believe this for many reasons. One would be that everyone in this society fends for himself or herself. No one is sitting around eating chips on the couch while someone else farms for their food.

  • Utopia Vs Neologism

    1320 Words  | 6 Pages

    Introduction The concept of utopia was born in 380 b.C with Plato’s “The Republic” [VEG94], but the word did not actually exist until 1516 when it was coined by Sir Thomas Moore when he printed the text: " De optimu reipublicae statu deque nova insula Utopia libellus vere aureus " [MOO71]. Moore’s neologism stems from the double Greek etymology ou-topos, (οὐ, "not" and τόπος,"place"), or "non-place", and eu-topos, (εὖ, "good" or "well" and τόπος, "place"), or "good place". Utopia is, in fact, an island, that does not exist, regulated by justice, freedom and religious tolerance; then, a happy place.
