Gimme Gimme

VEIL I chose veil because everyone in the community has a veil pulled over their eye. preventing them from seeing the real world. BLIND in the community it is the blind leading the blind. They willingly turn their eyes and choose to live in this matrix if you will. MATRIX Anyone who has seen the movie the matrix will understand the reference. they are living in a world that is completely out of there control and has preset rules and boundaries. NAIVETY They are all blissfully ignorant!!!! They are all so happy with their suppressed way of life. It reminds me of Plato's fable of the men in the cave. If you actually ended up giving them a choice they probably wouldn't accept it. CHILD LIKE The are all essentially children. being told what to do, where to go and what they can do for fun. with aspects of adulthood, I think to keep them from wanting more. Give a person the image of responsibility will satisfy their need for more

  1. Good words to represent the novel. I especially liked "veil" and "Child-like." I hadn't thought of it quite like that but yes, they are children in some respects. They are only told what they need to know to keep them happy & content.
