About scores

I think I can get an A this semester, although I am A second language student, reading will be slower than others, but I am very serious, I try hard to meet the time every week, also I will find the Chinese version of the book to read. This course is really interesting. If Given more time, I think I can do it better. Thank you for bringing me such a happy semester!

Week15: Future Tense

2030 In the holiday of 2030, I think I will get some high-tech gifts, such as a simulated dog doll or a small spaceship. I think that in 2030, people have no need to go out shopping, even take-away member or a waiter will become robot, everything will become very intelligent, I also think that even if we go out shopping, everything is fully automated, such as restaurant will be ready to end up with machines, very convenient. I think my job is still as an artist, but there will be more than that. Maybe in 2030 there will be more strange and advanced tools, like pens that can draw real things, or erasers that can wipe out flowers. I think life will be better than it is now, but not necessarily, because many people will lose their jobs if robots replace human beings. For example, I want to celebrate my birthday, but all the people around me have become robot friends, which is really a little scary.There may be riots in the streets, robots will be destroyed, and humans will become evil.I m

Week 14: Satire and Sci-Fi

I have seen The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movies and books, and The story line is very interesting, which is a bit absurd to me, because many things are a bit out of common sense. Though it begins with the destruction of the Earth, it is more a collection of jokes than a heart-wrenching cosmic tale, full of imaginative and satirical jokes. Such as this for the rest of the only two family earth because of the roads to be torn down, the staff said the notice already posted a while in the garden is you have no comments, then the earth for the universe to roads so be demolition, notice has been posted a while (a few light-years away in the streets to the is your own opinions; The Babel fish, which perfectly translates the language of the whole universe and is just the size of your ear, proves that God does not exist because it is so perfect that it looks as if God created it, because faith cannot be proved; The latest "robot with a Real personality" developed by a famo

Week 13: Literary Speculation

Oryx and Crake is bai I asked to read in the ib second year English class. This book shares many similarities with Brave New World, both of which are future science fiction and biology novels. The novels contain many discussions on humanity, sex, art/culture, and genetic variation, as well as many language descriptions of sex and biology. It's a very interesting prophetic book, and the language is very classical and intriguing. The chapters are very interesting, one chapter is about the present, one chapter is about the future, and the main plot is in even chapters. There are also a lot of words coined in the novel: pigoon, wolvog, Pleebland, etc. Bogus, bug and other bogus words are often used in this book as future common words I think the writing style and language of this book are very new, and it looks like Brave New world in terms of themes. The plots in the past have the feeling of the guardian in the wheat field, and the shadow of Robinson Crusoe in the wandering (singular

Week 12: Diverse Position Science Fiction

I've read Blood child by Octavia E. Butler, and I think it's not just a story of slavery, it's also a story of love and growth. On another level, Blood child is her "male pregnancy story" and "rent-paying story," as members of the isolated space colony need to "live together in unusual ways" with their hosts. When I read this article, In the fantasy of what the egg looks like, it will not be very disgusting. Maggots rely on parasitic animals to produce their eggs, inject them into humans, then take them out and put them into other animals after the larvae have grown a bit (otherwise they would be eaten alive by the larvae). In this twisted form of reproduction, maggots form families with humans. The male master was selected as the breeder by maggots, and even after witnessing the horrors of other breeders, he accepted the reality. When it comes to the relationship between the two parties, I personally believe that at least part of it is affecti

Week11: Cyberpunk and Steampunk

Snow Crash is the most difficult book I have ever read. I can't understand it at all. I think he mentioned almost everything. Taking the cyber world as an important platform to show the dark and extreme "punk" stories, cyberpunk depicts a not always a bright future, the dazzling high-tech is usually deeply rooted in the slums, gangs and other bad social forms. One important function of science fiction is to sound the alarm bells for fast-moving things like The superbomb that Welles fears; Take, for example, some of the techniques exhaustively demonized in many novels. Personally, I think cyberpunk is a kind of early warning, a genre of fiction that tells about a crazy future society, and the various people who struggle in it, and shows some resilience in a dark environment, and tells about a possibility, and offers a glimmer of hope in a dark future world. One of the amazing Settings in Avalanche is to use a laser to scan the retina directly, projecting a virtual environm
