"Sometimes I feel like if you watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you - sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever."

Final Blog!!

Science fiction is when something that we don't know to be 100% true or real is backed up with facts and science. It asks the question, "What if...?" By way of extrapolation it asks questions about our future, our technology and exploration, people as individuals and as part of society, or about beings from other worlds. I learned that there are a lot of places to find sci-fi, more than I realized, and that's good because I really like it. Well, my preconceptions didn't change a whole lot. I was interested and loved sci-fi before I took the class so taking this class really cemented the fact that I really enjoy science fiction.  I love the fact that the study of science fiction spawned some of the best class discussions I've had in high school.  Wow, um, picking a favorite unit is hard, I really liked them all. If I had to pick on it would have to be Xenophobia because I absolutely loved Ender's Game. Reading that was one of the best parts of the class. It drew me in and  I connected emotionally with the subject; and I was just that much more interested. Overall, I really got a lot out of this class. It was one of my favorites.
