Reading Update

Life Update and Shawshank Repetition 

by Stephon King

    
    This week all I've been reading is Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption and while it's really good and I've really been enjoying it, I'm ready to start something new. I want to read The Coward by Stephen Aryan next (I guess it's the month of authors name 'Stephen').
It sounds really good and it's been staring me down every time I walked into a bookstore, so I finally brought it home and am going to start it here soon once school work calms down a little. Personally, I've got some exciting things coming up with graduation and applying to jobs and the whole adulting thing, and hanging with some new friends and some trips coming up with some old ones.
It's getting warmer out so it's safe to say I'll be living my best life.
Well, thats all for this post!  
Enjoy the first day of spring!
:)

Ender's Game vs. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

 Ender's Game and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Orson Scott Card and Gabrielle Zevin Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life. The best you can do is choose to fill the roles given you by good people, by people who love you. On the surface level, Enders Game and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow  have nothing  in common. In fact, the only reason  I even thought about these two books being comparable  was because I read them  one after another, and both had an impact  on me, but I wasn't sure what is was.  Enders Game  is a science fiction novel written in 1985, and is about one boy, Ender, being the only hope for the human race to defeat a war against a bee-like alien species. The training for this was was done through strategy games and fake battles, and training began at 6 years old for Ender.  Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is realistic fiction and about two people coming together and creatin...

What If's

What If's By Ashley The Science Fiction and Fantasy genre's of literature can be hard to describe. They can take place anywhere, in space, under water, virtual realities, or nowhere at all, in some made up place like Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings. One author, Veronica Roth, described it as the genre of "What If's". What if these certain worldly limitations vanished, or what if humanity discovered this new technology, what if something or everything was different, what would it do to humanity. Authors make us these scenarios and let it play out, focusing in on one character living in that "What If", and playing out how they would respond.  Thats what makes this genre so special, there are no rules and authors play gods. For me, the difference between Science Fiction and Fantasy is that in Science Fiction, those "What If's" come from a new discovery, something that someone discovered and explored and it changed the world as we know it. In...

Carve the Mark

Carve the Mark and The Fates Divide  by Veronica Roth      Young adult dystopian fiction author Veronica Roth is most famous for her series starting with  Divergent . That series was the next big thing after  The Hunger Games , it was made into the next movie series made off a dystopian fiction story. However, it ended in flames, in my opinion and at least a few people agree because there hasn't been another big movie series inspired by a new fiction story. (Dune is an old story and its movie is being remade, so that doesn’t count). The first three books of  Divergent  were AMAZING. Roth created a wonderful disaster of a world filled with human divisions called “factions”. Tris being a bad-ass female character, Four being the tragic love interest, and how they were fighting for equality, but then everything in the fourth book took a turn no one expected. Roth brought in elements that were never mentioned or even hinted at in the series before, suc...
