I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Matt Haig two years ago at an event for his book, A Boy Called Christmas which I loved. It was at this event where I first heard about How to Stop Time which he was still working on at the time. The whole concept of a person not aging on the outside and slowly aging on the inside had me intrigued. However, I had completely forgotten about the book until earlier this year when I saw it on the Savvy Reader's “Most Anticipated Reads of (Early) 2018” blog post. The…

A Sound of Thunder Time travel is a fascinating concept that has been at the forefront of science fiction literature for generations. Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" explores this concept, but it is not glorified or embellished. The story is about Eckels, a man who travels back to the age of dinosaurs to hunt Tyrannosaurus Rex, and is faced with the severe consequences of his actions. Bradbury’s theme of technological innovation demonstrates that not all scientific advancements are ethical,…

He has suspected for some time that the prevailing hypothesis of how memory is stored is incorrect. He comes up with an idea for an experiment to find out. The experiment poses great risk to his body, so he deliberates over whether he…

Literature is a curious thing, it allows an author to express themselves in any way they what. Whether they express themselves in a literal and direct way, or through indirect plot scenarios and ___ is up to the author. Herbert Gray Wells was an author who did just that. His works of science fiction resonated many common beliefs of his era. Not only that, but he had a way to express his own beliefs. In terms of his famous work of science fiction “The Time Machine,” he presented many of the…

In his book Slaughterhouse Five Kurt Vonnegut depicts the protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, as a connection between human and Tranfalmadorian ideals in society. By doing so, Vonnegut links present, past and future using flashbacks that give us a profound insight into Billy’s suffering of a malcontent post- traumatic disorder derived from his previous war tumult. These lapses between different periods of time in Billy Pilgrims life demonstrate Vonnegut’s anti-war perspective by negatively portraying…

Through the first semester of Mr. McGee’s senior English A, class there have been many texts that I have learned about. All of these texts have been influential, and a major part of my education, there has never been a text that I haven’t appreciated, no matter how many annotations there were.

Through each of the pieces of literature we covered there were more and more lessons learned through each one and no matter how well I did on…

Imagine that there is a bully in school and he picks on everyone else and starts many fights. This bully runs for class president. The bully in this situation is not qualified to run for office because he has no positive leadership qualities. When a person does not make an exceptional or humane leader then they have no right in controlling others. When a leader is controlling others and not leading them he does not deserve to be the leader either. The classmates in this school are justified…
