But this dystopian book isn’t the typical book with just one protagonist way in over his or her head trying to “save” the world.

I was having fun riding my go-cart around the yard I did it all the time. It had been a week since I flipped it and it was a little messed up. I drove it like the 100 times i ran into the big metal rod outside was nothing‚ I also ran into the fence many of times. It was all I had to do until that one evening.

book? While it is true that books allow the readers to plunge into the narrator’s thoughts and perceive the events through a particular point of view‚ films themselves are a masterpiece in their own kind of way.
