     4. In the article “Fresh Hell”, the strand of words punishment, crushed, consequence, and scold become visible.  These words all fit under the category of discipline.  This is significant because it explains the negative aspects of living in a dystopian society.  In relation to the article as a whole, this strand of words creates a picture of what happens when the hero of a novel decides to revolt against society.

     5.  Miller uses a series of words in order to explain the discipline that occurs in a dystopian society.  However, the author also touches on the fact that dystopian societies can also reward their citizens.  Miller does this to explain the contradictory elements of dystopian societies.  Such as in the “Hunger Games” the Capitol holds a competition, serving as a punishment, but it rewards the winner of the event.  The leaders of the dystopian society created a punishment, but in the end, a person receives a reward for surviving the punishment while all others fail.  These two elements of the dystopian society contradict each other therefore creating an anomaly.
