1/21/11

Style- We has more of a personal style. They talk in short sentences and has a lot of dialogue. The writer did not want the book to seem too formal.

Tone- The author had a pretty calm tone. He was never too over dramatic in situations.

Irony- I noticed a lot of verbal irony in D-503. He tried to be serious but when debating between I-330 and chosing to follow One State he became very sarcastic.

Plot- The author arranged the story in chronological order. He just kept updating the reader day by day.

Characterization- Even though the characters in We are not really the author does a great job of making them seem real. He uses characteristics that we may be able to relate to.

Setting- One State is where this book takes place. Also, the time period of this book is not specific. It is set soemtime in the future.

Point of View- We is written in first person narrator. D-503 is the narrator.

Symbol- I feel D-503 is a huge symbol in this story. I feel he symbolizes all the people who have temptations in our world. He really shows that deep down predicaments like the one he is in can really tear a person. He was debating between I-330 and showing up for work. Him chosing I-330 can symbolize evil being chose over good way more often.

Theme- A theme that stands out to me is that you are going to have to make decisions in life. The people around you may not make that decision easy but you have to overcome that. Making sure to do what is right for yourself first. One certain lifestyle is not always the best for everyone.
