Describe how you perceive the teenagers by this point in the novel.

The teens are like normal teenagers today, only in a futuristic, privileged world. They care about little, other than getting wasted and having fun. They are interested in sports, music, shopping, and sex, just as normal teens are. They have a language that is all their own, including a vocabulary that is specific to their generation, and a style that is all their own, as well. They have fears about how they appear to others, about being cool, and they are perpetually bored, as are modern teens.
