    A dystopia can be anything from everyone looking and acting the same‚ to complete chaos. The dystopias all have one thing in common - perfection.

The people that were a part of that quote wanted a perfect place where they didn’t have to do anything because of technology. A dystopian author shows what they feel is going on and what they think might happen if things continue on that path. A dystopian

    “Adam’s Curse”
William Butler Yeats 
 William Yeats’ “Adam’s Curse” is a poem that addresses a profound truth of time. Any human accomplishment such as poetry‚ music‚ or physical beauty requires much labor and is appreciated by few. He says this through an emotional recollection of a conversation between himself‚ his lover and her friend. I believe the meaning of the work lays waiting like a net‚ waiting to catch the reader at surface level. The poem is simplistic in nature‚ which is quite atypical

    A pray for my Daughter The summary of A prayer for My Daughter by William Butler Yeats opens up with an image of the poet’s daughter who is fast asleep in her cradle. The storm he talks about at the very onset of the poem is nothing but a contrast to the quiet sleep of the baby. The poet is worried about his child and his gloominess of mind is well portrayed through the first stanza itself. In the first stanza itself‚ the backdrop of the weather with the storm raging is nothing but a potent

    The Rash by Pete Hautman‚ I feel this book extruders the qualities of a dystopian novel. The reason being is that the book is filled with futuristic inventions and ideas. That includes high tech cars‚sports gear‚camera’s‚ and even schools. Also‚many rules are put into place which dictates how people live. Related to that is a penal system that the government put into place. All these features make the book very dystopian like. Information‚independent‚thought‚and freedom are limited in this society
