Elements of Fiction in WE

Style - WE uses a first person point of view in the form of diary entries to make it feel like we are sharing in the experiences that D-505 goes through

Tone - D-503's tone changes slightly depending on what he is talking about but no matter what he is talking about he sounds intelligent.

Irony - I found it ironic that D-503, a male, was registered to I-330, a female.  In 1921 this would have really gone against the social norm that men have more control than women.

Plot - The plot so far has been D-503 writing down a record of his experiences in a journal so that he can send it into outer space on the Integral.

Characterization - Most of the characters attributes are related to their names.  For example, O-90 has round features

Setting - The story takes place in the One State

Point of View - 1st person from the perspective of D-503

Symbol - For D-503, I-330 symbolizes love and freedom.  She symbolizes what life could be like without the control of the One State.

Theme - The theme is that just because a certain way of life is productive and some people enjoy it, doesn't mean that it is right for an entire society
