known as speculative fiction. The Internet may be helpful.<br />

1. What are the characteristics of dystopian fiction?<br />

2. Reread the <strong>Catching</strong> <strong>Fire</strong> book summary. Why is <strong>Catching</strong> <strong>Fire</strong> an example of<br />

dystopian fiction?<br />

3. Though this story takes place in the future, the culture it describes is not completely<br />

different from ours. How is it similar?<br />

4. How might dystopian fiction be an effective format for commenting on current<br />

issues?<br />
