Literary Elements

1: "We eat for health and performance, not for taste. Holidays and celebrations are exceptions  Since our calories had been moderated all week long, last night at the Banquet we could eat everything in front of us without significant impact." pg: 23
          This shows the setting, everything was chosen for you, what you eat and when you eat and how much you eat.

2: " People used to wake up and wonder, "Will today be the end?" or lie down to sleep, not knowing if they would come back out of the dark. Now, we know which day will be the end of the light and which night will be the long, last one." pg: 69
             This shows the theme, the idea of no agency, that her mind set would be our reality. The idea of the perfect, the Utopia, when it really turned into dystopia.

3:"Even if the fall of our Society would make life better for some, it would make it worse for others. Who am I to try to change things, to get greedy and want more? If our Society changes and things are different, who am I to tell the girl who would have enjoyed the safe protected life that now she has to have choice and danger because of me?" pg: 239
                     That everyone became used to fact you couldn't chose, the government had all the power, that it became scary and horrifying to some, to think that they would have danger, and choice.
