Twitter Account for English 1102: YA Dystopian Literature
I want to learn more about the appeal of dystopian literature to others and myself.

@DrFitzPhD Fun Fact: Both of my previous tweets in response to this question were exactly at the character limit, and this one is as well #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@DrFitzPhD Many of my tweets were exactly 140 chars, and I usually had more things to say. It's hard to express complex ideas in a tweet. #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@DrFitzPhD I think it's a good way to brainstorm and see what other people think, but the character limit makes it hard for anything else #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@KMC_dystopias Which part was filmed there? #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@MarkFrank98 @THR It would be interesting to see how they portray the half-men. #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@WhitmanSears Yeah we're almost a quarter way through college. Or a fifth. Maybe even a sixth. #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@DrFitzPhD If an author really wants to create a pure dystopia, there can't be any hope for the future, so there can't be a happy ending #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@DrFitzPhD I think it's possible to have happy endings like in Ship Breaker
But we usually get sad ones to emphasize how bad things are

In case someone needs this but didn't take notes #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@WhitmanSears @BuzzFeeders No way me too! #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@DrFitzPhD I think media often exaggerates teen stereotypes. Some teens can feel empowered while others might feel self-conscious #1102dystopia

@GriffinDystopia @sam_gtdystopias @arobin_san @GTnin_g @skaronea_gatech @smammo3 Why go to class when you can not? #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@sam_gtdystopias All we can do is try our best and hope the Fates are kind to us #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@sam_gtdystopias It's unfortunate but that's just how life works I guess. Not everyone gets what they deserve. #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

@sam_gtdystopias I guess to get to the Offshore, you have to not only be smart but lucky haha. #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

If stealing a cube is rewarded, maybe that's why a murderer got in. #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

Man I get that it was creative to steal a cube, but I still think it's a bit harsh to punish the victim for it. #1102dystopia

[Matthew Wang @MattMattWang]

Man I can't imagine having to take a test that determines my whole future. Can't even study for it. #1102dystopia

@redsquirrel2020 @sam_gtdystopias But isn't that better than how we treat animals we use for labor? At least halfmen are designed to enjoy it. #1102dystopia
