Blog #21 Time Machine

I enjoyed this movie because i had seen the new version of the Time Machine. It was cool to compare both ideas from the story. I liked this one that we saw but it was nice that the technology had grown since this movie. I felt that most of the parts were very corny and that's what i don't like about movies. I thought it was a good movie to end the year with because i felt it tied everything together. I think that it had a little  bit of each idea that we talked about this semester. I liked that he could travel back and forth between times because usually you cant go back in time according to Stephan Hawkings theory. It was a good movie though.

I thought the most interesting thing we went over this semester was the xenophobia unit. I felt that it was the topic that really related to our society today. Things make more sense to me when they are related to real life. I think that robots are something that is becoming bigger and bigger in our world and this unit helped me think about if its a good thing or bad. In this class I realized how many types of science fiction there is. It was cool to see all the different perspectives that we read about. I liked reading different perceptions that people have of their own science fiction through creativity. That helped me a lot to write the blogs because the things we read were very creative. I also enjoyed the projects that we were told to create. I like that we got to use our own creativity to put them together. It was fun to imagine the types of things that science fiction can create. My funnest project was the one where we created a logo for the escape rout in case we got invaded by aliens. We were able to imagine something that could relate to us in this time and age. I'm an artistic person and the projects that involve markers or crayons is right up my ally. Overall this was one of my favorite classes because it was about things i was interested. All the movies intrigued me and i felt that we learned the background material well enough to understand the logistics of the movies. I thought it was cool to take a look at different time periods of the genera from different authors. I definitely recommend this class to be taken because its a different view of writing than any other English class. One i will for sure remember.
