Sci- Fi and You:
When I think about science fiction, the first thing
that comes to mind would have to be how unrealistic it is. You have to use your
imagination in so many ways, because it seems unreal to us. Its not like our
modern day, with what we know is real. Science fiction portrays, futuristic
technology, crossed with your imagination of outrageous ideas. If we didn't
have sci-fi as an avenue for expanding our technology some of our modern day
convinces may not have been invented. Sci-fi over the years has become
more popular, and has moved from, movies and shows to computers and all
different kinds of game devices.
I have never really watched or read anything a long
the lines of science fiction, therefore all of this is new to me. I am glad I
am in this class to help broaden my understanding of the sci-fi world. Looking
at all of the different movies and shows that were on the screen the other day,
helped me realize that there are a large amount of science fiction movies and
shows out there. That shows I thought could be real, actually aren't. The thing
with sci-fi is that it’s like its own little bubble, because you have sci-fi
and then inside of it you have fiction or non-fiction. I think I will enjoy
learning more about science fiction and actually know the meaning.
I do enjoy reading, and taking this class is
showing me that, there are other good books out there besides romance or
mystery novels. After reading the short story “Liar!” I found that I enjoyed
it, and wanted to read more. It held my interest and was easy to understand. It
did a good job of going between the fake world and real life situations. All in
all I think this class will help have a greater appreciation for the more imaginary
futuristic realm.
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteGood work here; sounds like your def. of SF is expanding productively. You don't need to have had a lot of (or any) SF exposure to do well in this class--just a willingness to be present for it.
I'm glad that you're valuing the opportunity to go out of some of your typical reading fields. It can be weird to go outside your preferred reading tastes, but often rewarding. As per the "Venn Diagram" genre concept, there are both SF Romances and SF Mysteries--you may enjoy those.
