Utopian Society
A utopia is an ideal community or society. I would like to live in a utopia because my utopia is different then everybody else's. Living in a utopia would be nice. there would be soccer fields, mountains to climb, and forests to explore. But there would be some downsides. If you lived in a utopia you would not know all the bad things that life can have and you would not really appreciate your utopian life. also, you would not have to solve any problems so life would not be as intellectually simulating.

symbolic story representation questions
What are you resonding to? a) I notice in the text that this backstabbing always changes who is in the lead in the quest for the thirty-nine clues.

b) The author drew my attention to this because it has been a very important element in the story so far. The authors generalization is that the different branches in this huge family will always hate each other.

c) I agree with the authors generalization ? because this hatred has been going on for a long time and i dont think it will stop any time soon.
