Hi everyone my name is Vanessa Saldana I am currently in Mrs. Hicks stretch class. We read Parable of The Sower by Octavia E. Butler last quarter and I got to say this is a good book. This book showed how horrible the town will act to limited amount of resources, the enviorment was not in a decent place, it seemed like everyone was in danger and no one was safe except for the people who were wealthy. This is no science ficition this is soon to be reality if we do not change our ways. Many people let the water run while its not in use, we need to learn how to save. I can see our lifes in 50 years fighting for survival just like in the book Parable of the Sower if we keep living the way we are. Just imagine the world turning upside down, everyone will be killing each other and fighting for the simplist stuff. People stealing from one another in the community to the point were u can not trust anybody. There will be no such things as friends but enemies. I sure do not want to live in a place like this I want to live in a peaceful enviorment were we do not have to worry about scarcity. I want to live in a safe place and not worry about people stealing my things, so let us start saving our water and turning it off when it is not in use, that can be a great step to the first start of not living in a world like the Parable of The Sower. I reccomend this book to everyone just so they can picture how life can end up and just aware the people:)
by the way i think it is a dystopia and you can tell from what I explained:)
