Week 15: The future

How I see the future technology become an even bigger and more involved part of our lives than it already is. Also, maybe the rise and fall of social media, maybe not as a whole but at least a lot of the platforms we use now. I see regular TV and cable is a thing of the past and subscription services being the only source of tv and movies. I also think about how we consume media and ads will change in the future and we will see the number of ads shown daily triple in numbers. Hopefully, superhero movies will have run their course and will finally die out in the future. I can see a lot of the famous movie franchises like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings getting remade in like 30 years to bring them back to life again. I see travel in all forms being more streamline and involving more technology and fewer humans. Career-wise, personally for the future, I see it changing from working for a large firm to eventually being independent and owning my own company. Maybe even marry rich and stay home and never work again. That sounds really nice to me.

Week 2: Interview With a Vampire

The relationships in Interview with a Vampire involve the three characters, Lestat, Louis and Claudia. Lestat had turned Louis into a vampire by convincing him that his pain would go away if he was turned. Louis’ transition that Lestat caused always caused Louis to feel a sort of animosity towards Lestat. Lestat convinces Louis to finish turning Claudia, a child, into a vampire as well. Since Louis is still new to being a vampire himself, he is still very reliant on Lestat to teach him. Claudia is now in the same position that Louis once was since she is no longer a normal child. I believe that Lestat was so persistent that Louis turns Claudia because he feared that Louis would leave him. Claudia is now to be raised by both of them as their daughter and when this announcement was made it seemed like Louis was surprised by Lestat saying that. I found this interesting because in most vampire stories I’ve read/ heard, the vampires try to stay away from people becoming too attached to them

Week 13: The Aquatic Uncle.

I actually truly enjoyed this week reading assignment! This isn't something that I would normally choose to read on my own but for only being 7 pages long it was really something that held your attention. The idea of that the higher evolved frog wants to return and be with her boyfriend's less refined uncle was extremely engaging. Prior to the ending, of course, I found the story very relatable for me personally with trying to get older family members to move into more modern times and them rejecting it. The idea of using evolution to describe a family dynamic I haven't read about before which made it a refreshing storyline The story was able to fit a lot of meaning into such a short story and it moved along at a quick pace too. Overall, I would read this type of fable again because of the interesting way that it was written and concept.

Week 12: Bloodchild

1.    I’m not entirely sure how to react to this story by any means. I actually really hated it and how it was written if I’m being totally honest. It took a long time for me to understand what exactly was happening and I’m still not sure if I ever really figured it out in the end. I didn’t find the storyline interesting at all and it felt like it was trying very hard to be “different”. 2.    I guess the only connection I can make is a theme of motherly love. The affection from a mother is a constant theme in the story and is often touched upon with Gan and his mother and T’Gatoi and her eggs. I was unable to make any sort of personal connection or tie to this story because of how disconnected I was from the plot and storyline itself. 3.    I feel like this story would be best suited for a graphic novel and it would be way better than the novella itself had it been illustrated to start with. I feel like there needed to be more descriptive language to help support this unknown world w
