I have decided to do my paper on The Benefactor; because he was the supreme ruler of the One State. He showed great control over the ciphers by dehumanizing them, putting them on strict rules, and by giving them no privacy.
I was going to let you know ... you think its been cold so far; yesterday I went to a polar bear dip and jumped into the river at 28 degrees both the air and water. It was COLD but fun!!!

The end of the book!
The ending completely caught me off guard. I was expecting D-503 to be free out in the wild with O and their baby. I didn't think he would have ended up with I-330 towards the end. I think he was starting to realize how controlling she was becoming and how she was only around him when she needed him for something. Unlike O who loved D-503 for himself and never tried to use him for anything except when she decided he didn't want to be with her anymore she wanted the next best thing . . . his baby.
I wondered what happened to O?
What happened when he got the operation ... did he become almost completely like a robot because his head was lighter??
The ending was very confusing to me!!!! But overall I really enjoyed this book!!!

What I would hate the most about ONE STATE
The one thing I would hate about living in the one state is being with out a family. I know now that I have a family I would do anything in my power to keep it that way. I am sure that the guardians and the benefactor new if the people would be able to have strong relationships with their families that they might be able to start developing strong ties with others who have the same beliefs and ideas they do. I know I would be lost without my little girl or my husband in my life. The one state definitely does a great job of dehumanizing people with out the feeling of being loved in life everything about you would be depressing. I think it is strange how no one knows anything about who they belong with, kids, family members all they know is they can go down and get a pink ticket from someone and have sex with them ... what if they were having sex with their brother or sister!!!! (that's gross)

Strategy
After reading the textbook I have decided to write about the biographical strategy. I believe it is nice to know a little bit of information about the author of the piece. I think it gives the reader kind of an eye opener to what the story could be about or if the story is hard to understand than maybe something about the author could explain it. In the book WE I think it is nice for people to have a little understanding of what the author's life was about to really be able to see what the characters are going to be reliving in this story.

The Elements of Fiction ~ * ~ WE
1. Style - Set up very mathematical;where everything must be perfect and is always described in mathematical terms. This is done to really be able to understand D-503's world.
2. Tone - starts out perfectly mathematical then changing into something less organized; D-503 starts breaking the system.
3. Irony - D-503 always refers to himself being sick instead he is really in love with I-330 and she is changing his life into something he doesn't want at first but then decides he does.
4. Plot - is going in chronological order in the events of D-503's life.
5. Characterization - the author does a great job with making the characters seem real like D-503 tell us everything about himself while he is recording for the Intergral. The author also does a great job of making one feel like they are really getting to know each character because of the great amount of description they have.
6. Setting - is located in One State with the Benefactor as the almighty one.
7. Point of View - D-503 is the only one telling the story - first person narrator.
8. Symbol - Triangle which is represented of the connection between D-503, R-13, and O.
9. Theme - show people what life was like under a communist society here the benefactor is the ruler and all others are nothing to him they must do as they are told when they are told or they will cease to exist. The theme starts to change when D-503 starts to realize what freedom is like and starts to enjoy having it.
