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 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...

My Favorite Narration: The 5th Wave

Image
One of my favorite narrators within a novel is Cassie Sullivan in Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave.  Separated from her family, Cassie must find her way back to her family as the world is under attack from an alien invasion. The reader follows Cassie and her thoughts through a whirlwind of emotions and actions throughout the 5 waves of attacks. The novel also follows the perspective of Ben Parish, a young man fighting to survive and undergoing military training. I really enjoy the perspective of these two characters because the reader experiences the first person view through all of the action in the waves and the events leading up to the attack. The reader is in the middle of the action seeing everything through Cassies and Bens eyes. It gives us a view that some books do not offer especially within a thriller novel. I was on the edge of my seat the whole book and the narration made me feel like I was there. The first person narration made me enjoy this novel much more than I woul...

The Love for English

English has always been my favorite subject at U of D Jesuit and has challenged me to become a better writer throughout my years here. Whether I am writing a lab report in science or doing a DBQ essay for a government paper, my writing skills have developed from my english classes. Freshman year was probably my hardest and one of my least favorite years of english. Instead of writing essays and talking about literature, it was focused on nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Although this class developed my grammar, it was super boring. Next year I had english II which I enjoyed the most out of all the english classes. This is the year we made the transition from grammar to American literature. We also read arguably my favorite book ever, "The Great Gatbsy." Going into Junior year I liked English more than the other classes I was taking. English III was interesting but not my favorite, I can only take so much British Literature. I am excited for English IV and contemporary literature...
