Chinese Ghost Stories

What I saw and observed with one of the chinese ghost stories is how my own perspective and view of how The Return of Yan Zhenjing impacted me in a new way. The main topic of this story for me is the battle between Zhenjing and Xilie and how their fight and confrontation interests me in a narrative point of view. What I found interesting was Zhenjing’s motivation and faith in the son of heaven along with fighting for heaven and earth while his opponent fought for rebels, thieves, and murderers with no belief in anything. I found it interesting on what they fought for and how they were going to attain their goals with completely different motives in mind. In my opinion I would only change how their goals would be accomplished and what would happen afterwards for the future along with the future of the story. From my point of view I would have personally wanted to see more of their backstories and what caused Zhenjing and Xilie to fight to where they are now.  I would want to know more of the meaning behind it along with their thought process on their true intentions not only for their people and themselves but to the world. I would want to know how they would impact the world in a different way from my own perspective. Even though Zhenjing dies the son of heaven takes over and keeps fighting for his beliefs. I would want to know what the end goal would be and what would be accomplished when everything was said and done with their fights. In my perspective I would have routed for the side of heaven to win but I would want to see both perspectives of the story like a first person viewpoint of how they became who they are now and it shows more of the characters purpose in the long run.

The Martian

In this novel The Martian I observed and analyzed the unique situation of Mark Watney of being stranded on Mars from a terrible sandstorm while his crew flew off. I think in my opinion the reader is engaged and interested all the way through since most of it is based on Mark and his experience on surviving on Mars while trying to find a way back home to Earth. What I analyzed from this book was how Mark used some farming techniques from Earth on Mars that works and ensures his survival for a while. The book makes the reader think about how he/she would survive if he/she was in Mark’s situation and it creates a way of problem solving. The problem solving would relate to his survival and communication with NASA but the same would relate to the reader if the reader though about how he/she would survive on their own in the wild but even another planet to myself is far fetched for survival. Also my idea with this book as an observation would be how there is a sense of strategy with the sur...

Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is unique to me in every way with how the story unfolds. Throughout the novel I observed many things with how the story focuses on magic, wizards, and Hogwarts academy along with Harry Potter’s story. I observed how students in Hogwarts were divided into four separate classes and in the novel it depicts the what type of student you are and how that class affects others in good or bad ways. I found it as the reader to be relatable to society in my opinion since society has different types of organizations and groups of people doing their jobs. I found that to be interesting with that part of the novel and what each class would represent for the story and for Harry Potter. Also I was interested in the idea of Voldemort's intentions and ways of ruining Harry Potter. As the reader Harry tries to figure out who killed his parents but Voldemort impacts him in many ways and throughout the story I found this story to revolve around the idea of a hero’...

Star Wars A New Hope

What I found interesting with Star Wars A New Hope is how the story can relate in a way to society in my opinion. The galactic empire in the story would be in my opinion relatable to a corrupted society that is turned into a dystopia that rules over the people. On the other hand the rebel alliance in society from the reader’s point of view would be the people that would resist against a corrupt government that rules with absolute power and authority. As I observe Star Wars more and more it dives deep into who can be good or bad in society and what defines a person for what he/she stands for. I observed that the rebels stand for freedom and democracy while the empire stands for control and power. In this story it revolves around Luke Skywalker as a beacon of hope and with the sith lord Darth Vader being the antagonist  they both fight for opposite reasons. I analyzed that Luke represents himself as a leader of democracy and freedom while Vader represents himself as a tyrant of tyra...
