The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers

In this story The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers that I found to be interesting in my opinion was the entire books theme and purpose with how time travel works and how old egyptian magicians face off against the british empire in Egypt. One thing that I observed was how Doyle a character that is trying to protect the present along with the british finds himself in a new body in the past in an attempt to stop magicians and Romany from altering time with the time gate. The main idea that I discovered was how time and space have to stay in equilibrium in order to protect the past along with saving present/future of Egypt and the british. I found it interesting how the british and the ancient egyptian pharaohs and magicians from the past try to take back Egypt in the future which is the present time for the briish. Another part of this story that is really interesting on my take is how they use time gates to time travel from time period to time period to try and save Egypt from Egypt’s past. My idea about this story was the overall execution of time travel and how time is supposed to run its course through time with no alterations in the past. What I took as my own personal experience was how in this story time travel is essential to save Egypt from itself from its own past self. Meaning, New Egypt with the british living there is trying to stop old Egypt from changing history along with the space-time continuum. Overall, I found this story to be quite a time travel adventure along with being great with the way time travel works within it.

Interview With a Vampire

I found this novel to be quite interesting with how a vampire’s life is along with his experiences. I found it interesting that Louis the main protagonist explains his life story on his life before and as a vampire. The main idea I want to get across with this novel is the conflict between Lestat, Claudia, and Louis and how it affects their story and perspective on the story. In my opinion, Louis should have escaped Lestat the vampire villain sooner without the consequence of Claudia being turned into a vampire. In my perspective I find it interesting that Lestat teaches Claudia how to kill others but Louis and Claudia start to hate Lestat and try to go against him. I find it interesting how both conflicts of Louis and Lestat grows and evolves into a warlike atmosphere with the two. In my perspective I would want Claudia to attack and fight Lestat with more training and advanced training from Louis to stop Lestat along with their dire experiences. I would want to find a way to see all...

Kiki's Delivery Service

With this story in particular I observed and took notice of how impactful and meaningful the story is to me and in my opinion it was exciting and interesting to decipher and analyze. The main topic I would want to focus on is KiKi’s training as a new witch and her relationship with other characters as a whole along with how society treats her. Her training in my opinion could have been better in this novel because she has to learn how to do everything on her own as a witch for the most part but she needs more mentorship in my opinion for at least the majority of her training process. The next thing that has my point of view would be her close relationship with some characters and how she is impacted by them. My personal point of view would have to be how is she affecting them since she’s different as a witch and someone who isn’t more normal and how they react to someone who is a witch in training. The next part that highly interests me is how society sees her in their world not hers....

BloodChild

When I read the short story Bloodchild I was really interested and fascinated by how two species can work together in good and bad way in my opinion. The first species that assists the other one are called the terrans and the other is known as the Tlic however the Tlic co-depends on the terrans. One part of this story that I observed and analyzed was the topic of slavery essentially in this short story. I observed how slavery was needed in this story in order for the Tlic species to survive but in my opinon I feel like the terrans should have recieved something in return for thier services towards the Tlic. I also took away from my own experience with this story that the Tlic need a terran host in order to reproduce their own species and survive. What I found to be quite interesting was how this story depends on the dependecy of another species and the meaning behind that relates to slavery but also survival in my opinion. Furthermore, I found it to be saddening to see that one species...
