@mvavi1102 It made me wonder if I would still unironically enjoy this kind of literature as an adult #1102dystopia

@DrFitzPhD Being asked about whether "trash" also increases brain activity showed me new implications of my thesis #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

@mvavi1102 preaching about how teenage voices are silenced and belittled despite the fact that we can have intelligent ideas 👌 #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Love how @heyheyhail wondered where our society was going with the horizon of expectations created by reading dystopian lit #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Love how @heyheyhail shoes how agency changes relate to dystopia, the visuals really add to the presentation #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Drawing comparisons b/t Ender and Jonah is not something I would have thought of, but it makes sense when @heyheyhail does it! #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Really like how @SabGallego outlines teen - adult relationships in many books so you can see copious examples, good evidence! #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

@SabGallego 's assertion of "walk in their shoes when you read" supports my thesis ;) #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

@DrFitzPhD (2/2) they aren't the way that they "should be" or sometimes, molding to the stereotype - drinking, drugs or worse #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

@DrFitzPhD (1/2) The media assumes everyone wants to be "popular" and portrays teen as wild, causing some teens to wonder why #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

I like how @jaredliii gave very specific examples of propaganda in the books he analyzed #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Idea of punishment as a necessity for effective propaganda in dystopia was very interesting @jaredliii #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Really like @jaredliii 's outlining of the goals of propaganda/government explicitly #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Thesis: Reading is incredibly important for personal growth, and in a dystopia where censorship exists, your growth is stunted #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

@DrFitzPhD Ship Breaker suggests hard work won't change anything, you have to also be lucky and smart to move up in class #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

@DrFitzPhD yes BC if we just end the story after something good happens, we forget that off screen, things can still be bad #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Why is Kane trying to keep Jaha from dying #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

@TheMcMahonwich So glad that this is a show for teenagers so I have to deal with this as an excuse for plot #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

So glad Bellamy finally feels some amount of remorse for the garbage decisions he's been making #1102dystopia

[Nancy @tnancy_]

Why can't the spooky people come attack the annoying teenagers? #1102dystopia
