Tee hee Rough draft

The Title of the book is The Flood, by William C. Dietz, Genre is Sci-Fi, and the question is the style of writing the author portrays. The style of writing is that of an entertainer through words, he describes things to give them a life like feeling through scientific impossibilities at the moment for the technologies we have. The author also writes for a game company, so the style is sort of a more detailed version of the campaign of the game, but it becomes more dramatic in the book giving more details and even details that were not in the book because in the game all you had was through the view of the main character, but in this it gives you another view from other viewpoints such as from the covenant and what they feel or what they hear and why are they even fighting against the humans. Because of this it gives a better insight on the storyline so you know a bit more about the other characters. Another type of style writing is that it is a bit militaristic, giving strategies, thinking procedures of what to do and what would be a good counter for each weapon, it also talks about the story in sort of logs such as “D + 58:36:31 (SPARTAN-117 Mission Clock) / Pelican Echo 419, approaching covenant arms cache” As the story is written in a logs or time check it gives  a sense of what the time period is because the style of writing is also exciting and keeps you intensified as it is literally written into a war like situation as they detail almost everything that come from the battle or war which makes it even more interesting as this means of action and sort of realistic in a sci-fi way as the humans know they have limited resources and so they can’t do anything rational such as an all out assault. Though I like how the author disengages the reality that holds onto us and then uses a whole entire new reality of a whole different world and or maybe timeline.

The question is about the character with a little add in of some details of his life. Okay, so Master Chief is this bad ass Super human wearing a green armor called the MLJHONG which was named after the hammer of Thor. He is part of a project called the SPARTAN project which was to make a bunch of super humans to help the humans defeat the Covenant which are these religious aliens, and yes aliens because they have all these different types with the top being these weird alien people who are like the priest and pope called the Prophets (egotistic much huh) and then it goes from the Elites which are the race which is supposedly blessed and are almost as powerful as a SPARTAN but not strong enough, and then it goes to the rest which are the Hunters, Jackals, and the grunts, there is one more race though but I forgot which is known to be very good at technology no matter who it came from. But anyways back on topic, Master Chief real name is John and his tag is Spartan-117 which is often used for his name. He was kidnapped at age 6 by a women who was leading the SPARTAN project, for his abilities that were abnormal, but because of this ability he was taken away from his family and was cloned and in place of him was taken by his clone. He was one of the remaining 26 survivors out of a couple hundred kids because they died off during training, did not survive the drugs, or was deformed from the drugs to the capability that they weren’t able to move or such not. But either way, these 26 was quickly reduced to 1 as Master Chief is the only survivor, and just as so he was the leader. But because of the SPARTAN PROJECT he is the “Human Alien” which is sort of offensive as he is consider a outcast, but even so I think it’s unfair as he is still a human being, enjoying the simple things such as a shower. “Though brief, the shower felt good, very good, and the Spartan enjoyed every second of it” Here he enjoys the bath he was given and seriously, which human wouldn’t enjoy a nice bath.

The question for this part is what this book would interest and who would be interested in it for what type of audience would like this. This book is mostly about science fiction, so definitely is for sci-fi fans for starters, but this book was also based off of a very popular video game from Bungi though its mostly for the xbox. The game is called HALO. So not only is the book for science fiction fan, it is also for people who had played the game and wanted a better insight on the game because this game has racked in about 1 million users a day. Another thing I think this book is for is for people who actually want to know the story line instead of playing the game, but that’s just a small group of people, another thing I think of that is also a aimed audience for the book is that people who haven’t played the game but is interested in the storyline such as people as me, because I got hooked onto the story after the first book, it was true interesting to just put down and so I kept reading and reading. Though for this book, I would recommend it to those who just enjoy a great sci-fi novel and also to my friends who have played HALO themselves. Though I really am kind of curious as to why they had changed author in the second novel of the HALO series  because that sort of confuses me and also for the first and 3^rd which have the same author.

Master Chief

The title of my book is The Flood, by William C. Dietz, on which is a Sci-fi story, on the subject of just entertainment. Okay, so Master Chief is this bad ass Super human wearing a green armor called the MLJHONG which was named after the hammer of Thor. He is part of a project called the SPARTAN project which was to make a bunch of super humans to help the humans defeat the Covenant which are these religious aliens, and yes aliens because they have all these different types with the top being these weird alien people who are like the priest and pope called the Prophets (egotistic much huh) and then it goes from the Elites which are the race which is supposedly blessed and are almost as powerful as a SPARTAN but not strong enough, and then it goes to the rest which are the Hunters, Jackals, and the grunts, there is one more race though but I forgot which is known to be very good at technology no matter who it came from. But anyways back on topic, Master Chief real name is John and his tag is Spartan-117 which is often used for his name. He was kidnapped at age 6 by a women who was leading the SPARTAN project, for his abilities that were abnormal, but because of this ability he was taken away from his family and was cloned and in place of him was taken by his clone. He was one of the remaining 26 survivors out of a couple hundred kids because they died off during training, did not survive the drugs, or was deformed from the drugs to the capability that they weren’t able to move or such not. But either way, these 26 was quickly reduced to 1 as Master Chief is the only survivor, and just as so he was the leader. But because of the SPARTAN PROJECT he is the “Human Alien” which is sort of offensive as he is consider a outcast, but even so I think it’s unfair as he is still a human being, enjoying the simple things such as a shower. “Though brief, the shower felt good, very good, and the Spartan enjoyed every second of it” Here he enjoys the bath he was given and seriously, which human wouldn’t enjoy a nice bath.

Confusion and Fear

After looking through many vignettes, these 3 stood out to me most because it seemed to me that these feelings were occurring in many forms but was still the same. There was a bit of mixed emotions though as it was about confusion and fear. The three people that I found the similarity amongst were Mercedes(Middle), Susan(The Bees), and Aakash or A-kash or even Aakashoe.(Nepal in Crisis)

The first one that I read before noticing the similarities was Mercedes, in her blog she talks about how middle school was hell for her, and that I can definitely relate too. But what I found most surprising was the way she incorporated the years throughout middle school and giving a brief description for each, and I find it funny because that was almost exactly how middle school was for me. A quote I found linked up to the others was during her first year in middle school, 6^th grade and her first impression of the school:

“Wood wasn't a good place to be, never will be a good place again, judging by how it's doing as of late...  It started with 6th grade, which was supposed to be the worst year of middle school, according to various sources. We were the underdogs, the little kids on big kid planet. I got lost so easily... the school seemed huge. I was so happy to have Aiyana with me…”

Here, Mercedes seemed to be a bit fearful of middle school, and from that, I was not surprised because everyone would be scared after changing to a new school, a whole entire new school that is. But she was happy or relieved when her friend Aiyana was around.

Secondly, I noticed Susan blog had almost the same effect of atmospheric relationships amongst Mercedes and Aakash as her is about fear of the unknown, as she didn’t have enough information about the bee of which she was terrified of back then. But after she got what known information of the bee, she wasn’t afraid no more so relating back to as to the fear of the unknown:

“I used to be afraid of bees. I used to scream at the sight of them, run away, hide in the corner of my room until Mutti came to get me. When I was younger there were a lot of bees where I lived. They were innocent, of course. All bees are. A bee will not sting a person unless it is necessary- for when they sting a person, they die. All of their organs pool out and they fall to the ground, only to be stomped on.”

The fear of being stung from a little bee seemed to have frighten Susan but as she started to get information on the subject, she started to think they were cute as they were fuzzy but just as well as if they were stun, then they would die so the bees had to be careful of who they stung.

The last one was Aakash blog on his time in Nepal during the time of revolution, the fear of dyeing would scare just about anyone but I guess he would be at that age and time because you could just be randomly shot at and your life, gone in a instant so I thought it was pretty interesting and that it was natural to feel such feelings during a time of war.
