Hello bloggers. I am back for the final week. The semester is finally over! Its been an interesting one to say the least. We have read some pretty cool stories for sure. There were a handful of more off the wall stories as well. I would definitely say that my reading comprehension has improved, especially for the science fiction genre. I think its safe to say that I have a much better grasp on fiction. Style of writing, technique, characters, etc. Some of the stories we read really blew my mind! There are some crazy writers out there. You read a story and you say, "how the hell did he/she come up with that? What were they smoking?" Favorite story of the semester you ask? I am between Burning Chrome, Liar!, and The Nine Billion names of God. Each story spoke to me in a different way, but all positive. Wait, I did really enjoy Bears Discover Fire, I gotta put that in there also. That was a pretty cool concept. Another thing I took away from this course was a better understanding of how vast and diverse the genre is. We read stories about sex, time travel, mother nature, economics, politics, robots, and of course outer space. Being a film buff, I would love to adapt of of these stories into a movie. There were definitely some good concepts. I gotta say, as I have said before, I was bummed we didn't read 2001: A Space Odyssey, only my favorite sci fi story of all time! Oh well. Well I don't have much more to say other than I did enjoy it. I think it will help me in the future in analyzing other genres. It always seems to help when you have an outside perspective. Well I guess I can say my first ever blog was a success. Maybe I'll keep it going? Probably not, but I enjoyed it while it lasted, peace out yall.
