Fantasy/Science Fiction

Do you like to read fantasy or science fiction? Why or why not? 
     I love to read fantasy and science fiction. These are arguably my top two favorite types of books to read. When I was a kid I loved to read science fiction novels and imagine what the setting would be like in real life. I also feel the same way about fantasy novels although I have not read a lot of them. I think fantasy novels can be made into a very cool concept but when I think of a fantasy I immediately think of fairy tales. Although I am not into fairy tales I am open to seeing what other fantasy novels have to offer. I like to read these novels because it can take you to a place that you did not know imagined. When reading these novels you enter into the world the author created and can imagine it as though it were real. I also find science fiction very interesting because it produces concepts that I find very cool. I am only 30 pages into Dark Matter but I can already tell that I will really enjoy this novel.

What fantasy or science fiction location from a novel (or movie) is your favorite? Would you want to go there yourself? Why or why not? 
     I found the Harry Potter novels and movies very interesting so I would probably go to Hogwarts. I loved the adventure that the characters go through and the science they use to get out of certain situations. I think the concepts within Harry Potter are amazing and interest me greatly, that's probably why I loved this series so much. I would also want to go into the movies of Interstellar and Inception. Interstellar is a movie that takes place in space and the main character enters a 4th dimension. Interstellar is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen and recommend everyone to see it at least one. The movie is a total mind game. I would also want to go into the movie Inception. Inception is about taking control of other peoples dreams or your own dream. I would want to enter this movie because I myself would want to try this concept.

Why should students read more?

To reach the student body of U of D Jesuit to encourage reading I have decided to do a poster campaign. I have chosen this for myself for multiple reasons. Projects are regularly assigned at U of D throughout many different classes,. Having said this, when a poster has been an option, I have taken that. I like to think I am a creative person and I believe a poster is the best way I can express my feelings on why students should read more.  This is a great way to reach the students of U of D because they walk these halls everyday. On the walls around the school posters are hung and students stop to read about a new meeting occurring, football game, or an upcoming spirit day. Similar to these, my posters will captivate the eyes of the students and explain why reading is beneficial and why they should read more. I plan on my posters to all have the same theme. Each poster will have a title of, "Why YOU should read more!" This phrase will be on top of every poster that is ma...

Why YOU Should READ More Reflection

READ MORE Why I took this approach:  For those who come across this blog and do not know who I am, hi my name is Christopher. I am a high school student attending U of D Jesuit and have been assigned to do a project. My task is to advertise a reason why young men (students) should read more and how reading improves their reading skills. When I heard this I decided to take the option of designing a poster. Not just one poster but 3 that would be hung around the school for students to see. I chose this because I felt like it was the best way to reach the student body and exhibit my creativity into why I think reading is a huge benefit to young men. My campaign is "Why YOU Should READ More!" My Project!:   1. On the first poster I will explain the format that the posters follow. On each poster there are 5 facts on why reading is beneficial to a student. Not only does every poster have this but each poster has a quote from a teacher or member of the faculty at U of...

Why you should not ignore Please Ignore Vera Dietz.

In A.S. King’s Please Ignore Vera Dietz, Vera isn't the regular girl at school, she has secrets that can clear the name of her deceased best friend, Charlie Kahn. Charlie Kahn and Vera Dietz hang out together, go to school on the bus together, and they even construct a tree house together. Although they are so close, the two are polar opposites. Vera is on top of her schoolwork while balancing a full time job while Charlie smokes cigarettes all day and really does not push himself academically. Their homelife is also different. Ken Dietz, Veras Dad, pushes Vera to be her best self although she might not always see that as the case. Charlie's Dad abuses his mom and seems to not really care about Charlie’s well being. Despite these circumstances, they are still great friends but this was soon to change. Charlie began to hang out with Jenny Flick, Bill Corso, and other members of the “detention heads”, as Vera calls them. Charlie steers away from Veras friendship and starts a life...
