1/18/11 WE

1. Style - WE is more of a diary and length of the sentence is relatively short.
2. Tone - D-503 attitude is confusing. He is sometimes mad at himself, but towards others, he is happy.
3. Irony - I'm not sure about the irony in the story. There might be irony with how the robots have to follow a specific schedule and how D-503 goes away from that to see I-330.
4. Plot - The author tells the story day by day by record.
5. Characterization - D-503 does not actually live, but to readers it seems like in the future this might happen. I feel as if im in the story with him at times.
6. Setting - The setting takes place at the One State in the future from now.
7. Point of View - 1st person with D-503 as the narrator
8. Symbol - The Benefactor symbolizes God. That to me is the main symbol.
9. Theme - So far I think that the theme of the story is "Be your own person. Go beyond what you are told to do." But I am really bad at picking out themes, so I have no idea if that is right.
