Movie: Blade Runner 1982

Why though: Very "human" story and charachters, even the replicants.

Book: 1984

Why though: A very very very ominous prediction by George Orwell that slowly comes true by the minute.

One of my favorite stories is The Hunger Games. I love the suspense and dystopian structure. It is a very interesting book and has a very unique style. It is about a girl who lives in one of the twelve districts. She gets picked to fight in an arena with 23 other kids for the entertainment of capitol.

For my story, I picked the Fault in Your Stars because it adds an amazing twist on the story but also gives an example of a real life thing and sickness and fear of that sickness that can happen. It helps show readers what is real and can happen to them or a family member. I think it’s a great fiction story because it is fake but has some real aspects to it.

My favorite fictional story is animal farm, the vision that this give to the government was unseen before its publication. It gave a unfiltered image of how power can corrupt people especially in the government.

Heaven is for real - Todd Burpo, this story has a very impactful meaning to me because it’s about a little boy who bursts his appendix and goes to heaven and talks to God and comes back to life to tell the story of God to his sister and his family.

I would choose Dune as it is a sci-fi book about a desert planet. It’s one of the only books I’ve read on my own time and that is for good reason. It’s a little confusing at first but it is very interesting.

My favorite fictional story is Jumanji, because it displays what it’s like being a video game and having a certain amount of lives to win and beat the game. It shows the sacrifices characters make to help one another out to achieve the victory at the end.

Percy Jackson- Lillie Baker

The series of Percy Jackson is my favorite fictional story. Percy Jackson is about a group of Demi-gods(half human half god) who go on missions for the gods. The kids push themselves in hopes to make life better for their friends and family as well as to help other Demi-gods. This is largely due to me being able to relate to the characters on a huge level. The story keeps me engaged without needing plot turn after plot turn, I ultimately know the outcome of the books but not what leads to it.

My favorite fictional book is To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. This is about a girl whose love letters got sent around and she faces her fear of confession. She ends up faking dating a guy who she falls in love with. This has the most impact on me because it’s also a movie that I love, so it’s easier to follow along since I don’t read much.

For my story I picked the Martian, which is about an astronaut who gets left behind alone on mars. With NASA currently making efforts to move human life to mars, this story creates a good image on what life what would really be like on the planet.

Black:

The story of a man who is pulled into an alternate reality every time he sleeps. He attempts to navigate his way through the strange world he entered, but faces much opposition from the demons on who hide in the dark. Ted Dekker uses religion and suspense to engulf his readers in a world of love and chaos. This book is special to me because it gives a different take on the trials that religious people face throughout their lifetime.

One of my favorite fictional books I have read is Harry Potter. It is about a boy who finds out he is a wizard with magical powers and must go to a school to learn how to do magic. It is my favorite book because I like the plot and the characters. I also like that the books have important themes.

My favorite fictional book is The Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. It is about an assassin trying to win her freedom back in a championship against other champions from around the kingdom. She is launched into a world of strange dreams, spirits, love affairs, and never-ending questions that are constantly left unanswered. She is faced with challenges from the past she does not want to relive, and the future that she has no choice in. It is full of mysteries and suspenseful events that leave you with the sense of never being able to put it down.

One of my favorite fictional stories is The Cruel Prince. I think I like it because it is different than what I have read before. It is fantasy, but it stuck out to me because it describes the difference between the human world and the faerie world, which the book is set in. It is about a human who has lived in the faerie world for most of her life, and the challenges she faces as she tries to climb the power ladder. There is themes of betrayal, and from the first book to the end of the third, almost all of the relationships change which was really cool.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

This is a really bad book but that’s what makes it good at the same time. I would say it’s a tragedy but it’s really depressing since it’s about how they don’t have a purpose in life and they know they are going to die and the whole thing is unnerving.

On of my favorite stories is Harry Potter. It was one of the first novels that I read as a child. I feel that I have developed an appreciation for literature from reading this book at a young age. Harry Potter is a story of a boy who must overcome the embodiment of evil. The story is developed through seven books and has an intricate backstory which envelops the reader in a magical world.

Star Wars Project BlackWing

The reason why You love this book so much it’s because it takes a series that everyone knows and even loves and adds dark twist in it. Even though it is a zombie novel of just Star Wars it is canon in the time line and brings some old characters like Han Solo and a Chewbacca. The story just shows how dark the empire was going in lengths to raise the dead to unleash to there enemies.
