Fantasy/Science Fiction

    Fantasy books ever since I was a child have been a top 3 genre for me. I was always interested in finding a way to get out of the real world whether it was TV, Video games, or Fantasy books. Fantasy books were really the first books I ever started reading as a kid, they kept me entertained the longest from start to end and would even act like I was in the book sometimes. I wasn't the biggest fan of science fiction because it doesn't excite me as much, futuristic concepts don't really move me as much as Harry Potter and Voldemort fighting till the end. Fantasy has way more depth as well in terms of character development in my opinion because of the way the story is set up is for the protagonist to always go through a conflict and come up on top at the end or at least most of the time. Power systems such as Harry Potter's magic or in the Mistborn series, Allomancy a genetic ability that allows a person to metabolize metals, ingested by the Allomancer, for magical powers that can enhance physical and mental capacities. That doesn't even scrape the surface of some cool things in fantasy, fantasy really is in the top 3.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book One: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan - Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Disney-Hyperion, Other BooksMistborn: The Final Empire (The Mistborn Saga, 1): Sanderson, Brandon: 9781250868282: Amazon.com: Books    

    If I could go to any fantasy location it would have to be Camp Half-Blood from the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. This place would just be full of fun activities, fighting bad guys and demigods. The camp has magical borders that would protect us from getting ambushed by any other enemies. Camp Half-Blood is the spot for me!

Reading Reflection

     I haven't ever been the biggest reader, but ever since my education at u of d started I have found a love for writing. I'm personally someone who likes to come up with their own theories and thesis', and u of d's education has taught me how to express myself and prove my arguments. I think writing essays can be a way of showing your brilliance despite whether or not you are book smart or very good with math and etc.     I'm not the biggest fan of books unless it is something that interests me, for example back in elementary when we could read any book of our choice I would read and be interested in as much percy jackson as I could get. Definitely my favorite book series and really brings back a lot of nostalgia for me. I started to get into realistic fiction books around middle school which is still my favorite genre. It all started with the outsiders which was a book that I could relate to and never feel like I was bored or not interested in while reading....

Contemporary Literature Course Reflection

     I didn't sign up for Contemporary Literature and ended up in the class randomly, I didn't have much expectations not knowing what I was getting into. My favorite novel was Please Ignore Vera Dietz as it was the most relatable especially for the class that were in for young adult literature. My favorite project to do in the class was our daily reading minutes, definitely a unexpected one but you get to see what type of person everyone is through the books they have read and their worldview growing up. People who like to have conversation with their friends while reading or even watching a show would like this class as their are daily group conversations going into depth about our feelings on the book currently being read. Someone who can make the time to read every night should be taking this class but if you know that you can't do that I wouldn't recommended it.
