Authors have ways in which they warn the reader, whether it be subtle or blatant. Some authors don’t sugarcoat anything at all and will express how they feel in the darkest ways. When they predict what will happen further in the future and have a very keen idea of what the government will be like is what catches everyone’s eye.
