Hello I'm Ivan.
1.No one was allowed to work for more then one year without break.He had to do six months of community work.There were too many old people.Control made the rules, and the young people must look after old people.
2. In the book, people travell with jet power and wind power and people travell only if they had to.There were virtual rooms if you want to travell, hiking, swimming, and if you want to do sports.
3.Control made all of the rules and decisions and you hade to ask him if you want to do something.
4.No I wouldn't like to live in 2015 because you don't have privace and your own life.I don't like to be control by computer. I hate the most about this world that you have to live like animal IN THE BOX.
5.He said so because cought him when he asked his girlfiend about the "Music Room".Captian Marrs things that both of them are terrorists and he hites terrorists because in the past they killed his father and his brother.

1)He had to because no one was allowed to work more than one year without a break, because there were too many people and too few jobs.He had to do community work for six months.
2)The people travel by jet power and wind power,only when they have to, because everything was delivered through the tunnels.Everyone goes through virtual travelling if they want to exercise,skiing,walking or to play some sports.
3) Control made all the decisions,he made all the rules. No one could do anything without asking.
4)No,I would not like it,because for me that isn't life.I see it like if they are prisioners. They don't have pravacy, they have to do wahtever the controller tells tem. I would not be happy if i have to live like them one day.
5)I think he said that because he heard everything that saul was telling his girlfriend and captain Marrs maybe though that saul is a terrorist and he wants to kill him because in the past his father and his twin brother were killed by a terrorist bomb when he was three years old.

1.) Since, the control are the most powerful in Europe,they have made the rules, and one of them is the people have to work for over a year without a break. That's why Saul need to work for six months in community which is means he have to watch after the older people.
2.) Virtual is a way that people could travel by jet and wind power but if it is necessary. By virtual they can imagine or do whatever they want to do like doing the sports.
3.) Control group are the one who decided and controlled everything. The advantages of this group is they pursued the technology in our world which is very big help in our daily activities.
4.)Yes, I would like to live in that year for some reasons, such as, I would love to have my own children, reaching my goals,helping poor people in my country.Helping other people is my big thing and goal in my life. I would'nt mind so much about the computer because I don't use it often so I'm not worried about my privacy.I have nothing to worry about that staff.
5.)The reason why they said that because they had a plan to kill Saul after they have found that Saul was asking a question with Caroline about the "Music Room". Marrs thought that he is one of the terrorist. Marrs heated so much the terrorists because his family died in that tragedy.

5.I want live at now.

I don't like to live in the world that all things are done by mochings.And people even controld by the computer!I'd rather to touch the real plants than to see them in the imagen.
And the most thing I hate in that world is that people must follow whatever a computer says!A computer is a computer,it can never becom a leader.People should listen to them selves.

Chapter 2 and 3.
1.-Saul was a writer, a music critic, but he couldn't work all the time like a music because there were many people and few jobs, for that reason he had to do
community work for six months.
2.-The people went virtual travelling in the exercise room, and also they can made sport.
3.-Control made the rules, and dominated everything. I don't find any advantage of this situation,but the people in the book belived at the Control and accepted the situation.
4.-No, I don't like to live like that. Because I think all people have the right to make their own decision. The most I hate about this world is that you can't go out when you like, you always have to tell Control where you are going and why, and that for me is horrible.
Chapter 4
The Controller was watching Captain Marrs shooting at the picture of Saul, and Controller knows that Captain Marrs is a murderer, cruel and determined. Controller deducted that Captain Marrs will to kill Saul.

Hello,This is Susana Lopez.
Saul had to change his job because no one was allowed to work more than six months,and the community work was mandatory for all the employees.Only those working in the control could work the whole year.

CHAPTER 2 AND 3.
1.-Saul have to change job because he needed to do six moths of community work and in that time no one was allowed to work for more than one year without a break.There are many people.
2.-The people who want to do something they do by computer which is called CONTROL.They travel, meet people, or do some sport by virtual things.
3.- The CONTROL makes the decisions in everithing and the people like that style of life.
4.-No, I wouldn't like to live in that time because everything is contoled by computers, and in my opinion the people don't really enjoy the life.Also I don't like the bad situations about animals.

People use special mask and helmets to travel. Thats called
virtual travel. Also by virtual they can imagine and do whatever they want to do. For example
