Please answer both of the following questions:
Describe the setting of your book thus far. Is this a place that made you think, "I've been there," or "I'd love to go there," or "No way would you ever catch me at this place"? Discuss your connections and feelings about the setting, explaining how you relate (or do not relate) to where your story is taking place.- Think about yesterday's class discussion where we talked about the various properties of specific genres. For example, we said that mystery books deal with characters who need to solve a problem. So far, what characteristics of your book proves to you that it is, in fact, a Science Fiction novel?
In my book, BRAINBOY AND THE DEATHMASTER, the settings so far is in an orphanage. Well, I'm not adopted or have been in an orphanage, but I still wouldn't want to go because its full of sad kids waiting for a home.
ReplyDeleteWell, the only thing so far that is science fiction was the videogame that was introduced because in the opening it asked you the question, "want to play?" and you have to actuall type yes or no. The main character Darryl, before saying yes, asked the game, "who are you?" and the game actually responded back. Our time doesn't have technology like that so thats pretty cool.
The setting for my book is at a school. But this is no ordinary school. This is a school that aparently teaches world domination. Like how to become a world leader, how to kill a leader and stuff like that. I think that its a hidden school like they say that they are doing math and stuff when they're realy learning about how to make bombs. I think i would like to go to that school because who wouldnt like to maybe rule the world someday.
ReplyDelete1.In my book, "The Seem- the Glitch in Sleep," the book thus far takes place in a secret laboratory, in the sky, and it made me wish I was able to actually travel through the clouds and stay there for a while.
ReplyDelete2.So far, the only things that show that this is a science-fiction novel is that the gadgets in the book sounds futuristic and they can work on their own.
in my book,ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE,the setting is in the present or future im not sure, on earth where there is a virus the virus is what creates the zombies. i might want to go there because i want to kill so some zombies but i also dony want to be eaten by zombies.
ReplyDeletethe thing that made me think this was a science fiction novel because there is zombies and zombies arent real.
1. In my book Tom Swift and His Giant Robot the setting is in the sky in a plane and at Swift enterprises. I would like to go there because the book made this place sound like an interesting place.
ReplyDelete2. The information that shows that this book is science-fiction because it has to do with planes and a lab. The book is TOm trying to find out what happened to make the plane do different things than what he wants it to do.
z i wouldent want to go to a orphanage eather. but some orphanages are fun.........ish
ReplyDeletein my book "feed" the setting is the moon.....so far.and i would love to go to the moon..it seems to be fun. well if your not bumped in the head by the people in the low grav no grav room.(thats also where aldous found this chick who is pretty.)
the things that prove my book is a science fiction novel is that one the setting is the moon. and so far i havent heard there puting buildings on the moon.the other things are the feeds in the peoples head and the ship they fly to to the moon... i havent heard of that yet but it sounds pretty rad!!

What caught me about my book, THE BRAINBOY AND THE DEATHMASTER, was the title because when I saw deathmaster I thought it had to do something with someone dying which usually catch my attention, then I read the summary and it state the word video game and I video games so I thought my curiosity of death and my passion for gaming in one book would be the perfect book for me.
ReplyDelete"The Seems: The Glitch In Sleep" by John Hulme and Michael Wexler caught my attention because of its odd name. Also, the description showed me that the book would be about a different world, The Seems, providing what we need in our world to make everything the way we like it. Not only did the title and description get me, the authors' biography's told me about John but it said that Michael's location REMAINS UNKNOWN.
ReplyDeleteThe part about my book that made me want to read it was the title of the book "evil Genius." It just sounds so catchy. And when you first open up the book, i names a boy's classes and theyre classes on things like explosives and assassinations, it just looked very cool.
ReplyDeleteThe book I am reading is "Tom Swift and His Giant Robot" by Victor Appleton.
ReplyDelete1. I chose to read this book because I started reading my first book "The Dueling Machine" and I did not understand what was going on. I asked my dad if he knew of any science fiction books and he told me he read the Tom Swift series when he was little and they are science fiction. Since we had them at our house I decided to read it.
2. Right now we are dealing with a case where someone stole part of our plane. We have got to figure out who did it and how. Because of this I think it is like CSI because we are trying to capture criminals because they stole something from us.
Deric I would not want to live in the setting of your book because I dont want to be a zombie.
Ryan, the whole class subject seems cool, but it would not be a good idea for a world like ours since we're still trying to get world piece, this would just make it worst, hahaha!
