20 questions Guess My Character

[DATo]

It’s not Duran-Duran on his orgasmatron from Barbarella is it?

No, the story is a bit more serious than Barbarella.

The "instrument" is something that can make a sound but is generally not used for making music.

Are there any fantastical/supernatural elements to the story?

Many pardons. I wasn't aware that anyone had responded recently.

This is a very difficult question to answer. Technically there are no supernatural or fantastic elements to the story, but there is a scene in which one character may be interpreted as having a supernatural experience - it is all a matter of interpretation. Sorry, I know that isn't much but to elaborate further would give away this iconic scene.

Does the character significantly age throughout the story?

My apologies to you as well rssllue for taking so long to respond. The character does not age in any physical sense. The story itself does not encompass an extremely long period of time and does not involve flashbacks or flashforwards regarding the character's past or future.

BONUS HINT FOR LATENESS PENANCE : The book, as previously mentioned, is a relatively modern classic whose title I am sure you are familiar with and by the author's admission contains a huge amount of symbolism.

No problem.



Color me intrigued.

Could this fall into more than one genre?

Could this fall into more than one genre?

It could vaguely be considered dystopian, as well as "young adult" though it is much more than a YA novel.

Excellent response, but it is not The Giver.

In an effort to narrow down the date, is it safe to say it was originally published post 1960, but pre 1990?

It was written before 1960.

[Gravy]

Well that narrowed it down.

Okay...
I think I have the book.

Fahrenheit 451?

Fahrenheit 451?

Not Fahrenheit 451. Suggestion: It might be more productive in this case to concentrate on the character rather than the book.

[Gravy]

Touché.

Perhaps others will have more luck.
