The Future

In the future, The film/movie theater industry will have found a way to stay afloat and not become a forgotten past time. I think that movie theaters will become an interactive experience where you truly feel like you're in the movie yourself. It will be a combination of virtual reality, special effects, and technology that will cause the seats to move and vibrate. There will probably be thousands of options for streaming services and cable television will be obsolete. The environment will most likely be continuously getting worse unless by some miracle we get someone in office who actually cares to change policies when it comes to being more environmentally friendly. Although our planet is suffering I think that things won't get really bad until well after I'm dead and gone. Technology-wise I think that we will see enormous progress in the next twenty years it's hard to speak where we'll go because it almost feels as if anything is possible in that field. Overall, I think that most things will change for the better but if something drastic isn't done about our environment soon, I don't see things ever improving in that area of life.

The Star

For Week 9 I read The Star by Arthur C. Clarke. This story combined religious references and beliefs with science and astronomy. It was very interesting to read because at first, I wasn't sure about who the main character was exactly. I think I assumed the main character was human traveling through space at first especially because in the beginning he says, " It is three thousand light-years to the Vatican. Once I believed that space could have no power over faith. Just as I believed that the heavens declared the glory of God's handiwork. Now I have seen that handiwork, and my faith is sorely troubled." I guess I assumed that aliens would have no knowledge of religion or Christian principles. I really like how the writer makes you slowly realize as you read that the main character must be an alien as he mentions the  destruction of the human race and Earth. I really wasn't sure if the main character was Human or not until he says, " Even if they had not been ...

A Wild Sheep Chase

A Wild Sheep Chase was definitely an interesting read! Although, I thought the story started off slow didn't understand why the book was called A Wild Sheep Chase , I soon couldn't stop reading it and it became very apparent why the book holds that title. Murakami is a very strange author. The way this book is laid out is very different from any other story I've ever read. I thought it was a strange choice to not name any of the characters throughout the entire story. I liked how every part introduced a new character that the narrator had to encounter. The sheep that the narrator ends up looking for is this paranormal-like being that takes on hosts in order to influence them. The novel has a constant theme of identity which is why I'm assuming Murakami didn't give any of the characters names. The sheep would take over characters and then their identity would be challenged if not taken. In the story, the Sheep Professor wonders how much of himself is him and how muc...

Assessment

1. What is your reaction to the text you just read? My reaction to this text was a feeling of confusion for most of it. The author was using words I dd not recognize and I am still unsure of what a Tlic is they are hardly explained in the story. Eventually, the reader figures out that the Tlic are aliens because they call the humans "Terrans" which I am assuming means earthling. Overall the story was enjoyable and it kept me engaged throughout the entire thing even though I was unsure of who was what until the end of the story. 2.  What connections did you make with this story. Discuss the elements of the work in which you were able to connect In ways, this story reminded me of Akata Witch there is an element of fantasy that feels similar to that novel. Whatever these Tlics are, which I am imagining as a giant parasitic insect, seem to have magical or fantastical qualities that allow them to control Terrans, or humans. I also think that the names used such a T'Gat...
