It would definitely go in that category with all of the zombies and vampires. I wouldn't survive as a human in that at all.<br /><br />The one I think I COULD survive is The Selection for sure. I have to dress up in pretty things? OH NO. And if I lose, I have to go back home and live in a rigid social hierarchy? I'll deal.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-76278657959586035022012-08-22T13:56:14.041-04:002012-08-22T13:56:14.041-04:00Okay, I have got to say that those are some of the...Okay, I have got to say that those are some of the truest/funniest reasons every!! lol<br />Oh, dear, I'm in the same boat and can't think of a single dystopian that I'd survive (longer than the initial first three pages). <br /><br />#6 - With you all the way on that!! I'd be furious and wouldn't make any bones to hide it! Women as property? Eff that!!<br /><br />Christina, have you read The Hunt yet by Andrew Fukuda?? Just the first page alone is frightening, and there's no way I could survive trying to *fake* my way (don't want to give out too many spoilers here) ... anyhoo, read it if you haven't, it's terrific :D<br /><br />Mary DeBorde M.A.D.

Strangely enough, despite Roth's amazing world building, I am left with oodles of questions.<br /><br />Books make everything better. <br /><br />She hid, but she was also really fast. I am REALLY slow. And you only run for donuts.

I...I think I'd survive Divergent just fine. I'd go in a corner with a book or five (in the Erudite faction, obviously), and I'm sure people would understand why I skipped the meetings, as many of them probably did, too. haha.<br /><br />With the survival ones, I think I'd survive out of sheer stubbornness. Also, if I'm able to hide out with my books, I wouldn't even get bored. Hmm, I'm starting to sense a survival requirement pattern here. haha.<br /><br />As far as Hunger Games is concerned, I think I'd be like Foxface for most of it (she was the one that just kinda hid, right? I may be thinking of the wrong person, but I hope you know which character I'm referring to), and then somehow get the final person to end themselves somehow, thus ensuring my survival and eternal glory.

I could make a good Candor, though, probably, if I weren't an Erudite.<br /><br />I may have just said that....<br /><br />No, I wouldn't want to be a mother. It's just not for me. However, I acknowledge that many people love it. This list is for me personally and babies scare me.<br /><br />I also hope I wouldn't eat a person. The people who do in books are always awful, like biker gangs and stuff.<br /><br />Google can tell you!<br /><br />Well, I don't think I'm delicious, but I would like to believe that zombies and vampires would think so, although I suppose I would be better off I tasted like black licorice.
