Dystopia In Reality

1. Hello you guys! This is Jeffrey and Jzaille and we want to congratulate you guys for coming this far. So, you guys are probably reading this either at the starting of your researched paper because you are curious as to what the paper will be about, or at the very end while you are going to post your blog before turning in your paper. Either way, you made it! You are done and you can finally breathe from all the stress that either this class or your other classes have given you. BUT, the most helpful tip that we (Jeffrey & Jzaille) wish we could have done and can give you guys is to START EARLY. We cannot stress that any further because if you do start earlier, you wouldn't stress as much. Throughout our experience, we had a hard time figuring out what to put on our paper since two minds are working together. But in the end, we're VERY satisfied with what we have. 

2. The research question that we came to mind and found information on was: Why are dystopian cultures a big portrayal in literature and the media?
