She had spoken to the guys playing, they gave her the once over and moved on. No hook ups day. Not that was what she wanted but no men seemed interested in relationships. She had given up on her grandmother’s saying about cows and milk. There was always free milk down the street now. Did you know in the 1940…

bedroom. Happiness will brush her teeth while thinking of one thing that she liked about herself, “Your hair looks softer today, how nice,” she thought.

They also like it because it’s a dystopian society and that’s how some kids feel like they live in a dystopian society because of school and work and other things that make them feel this way so they relate. In anthem it’s the same ideal dystopian place and everything. Maze runner is also like this young blood that saves everyone. These two books are similar in many ways.

Have you ever been bullied or oppressed in any shape, form, or fashion? While the oppressor tried to keep you down, did you keep your head up and smile?
