Fallout Book Report

The last engine of the plan goes out as the crew of the “superman” hurls towards the ground; “Prepare for impact” was a understatement. An american biographical war thriller book, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand describes Louis Zamperini life as he grows up from getting in trouble to becoming one of the most bravest and strongest people to date. In early childhood, Louis Zamperini grew up getting in trouble as much as possible, but as he grew older he became more of a man due to his new love for running. Running became such a passion and talent it brought him to the 1936 Summer olympics; unfortunately he only came in 8th. Louis later got drafted into the army where he became part of the “superman” crew in the United States Air Forces. Through traumatic events, he gets lost at sea and eventually gets captured to be sent to a camp of war. He faces many obstacles following the rest of the

Timothy Findley in his novel The Wars uses a postmodern device where the narration is nonlinear in chronology, making it subjective and more based on memory, ultimately deeming the reader’s perception of the past and the present to be precarious and unreliable. The Wars focuses on a young Canadian WWI officer named Robert Ross. Robert’s story is recounted after his death through many other characters such as Marian Turner, Lady Juliet d’Orsey, and the archivists. Yet, these characters are separated from Robert Ross through one main medium: time. Since these characters are separated from Robert Ross through time and space, the consistency of their perception comes

He is reunited with his dad, and they return to Canada with tapes of the horrifying events.

Always pushing yourself to the max, just a little father. In the book Ready Player One perseverance could mean life or death. Wade Watts is a boy born into a world of poverty, with no mother or father, his only escape to the sucky real world is in the “OASIS” which is an online virtual reality. His journey begins when the programer (James Donovan Halliday) of the OASIS dies and a video is released saying he left a hidden easter egg and whoever solves the puzzles wins Hallidays big fortune and in-game powers. The thing that stuck out to me was that Wade, or Parzival as his online avatar is called, showed that perseverance was either going to make or break his chance in solving the puzzles. I chose to draw my picture in a way that resembles comic

Synthetic, pretend, mock, fake, these are all synonyms to the word virtual. “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline shows the positives and negatives to living entirely in a virtual world. Although there are favorable aspects to developing and nurturing online friendships or even relationships there are fallible aspects as well that seem to outnumber what may appear harmless at first. In this book we are shown 3 different sets of online relationships, that of best friends, a couple and “brothers”. Aech and Wade are the first real relationship shown in this book and they model best friends. These two have been best friends for the past 4 years and have spent countless hours together playing video games, watching movies and just talking. Because

This book is set in Bethesda, Maryland. One of the four best friends, Carmen, buys a pair of pants from a thrift shop. Before they all go on their summer vacations, they all try on the pants. Despite their very different body shapes, the pants magically fit them all. Because this is the first summer that they are spending apart, they decide to send the pants to each other through out the holiday.

David Hahn was a Michigan schoolboy who set about trying to build a fast breeder reactor in his garden shed. Having educated himself by reading Popular Mechanics and the Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments, he wrote off as a certain Professor Hahn for technical advice and help in obtaining radioactive materials. What he could not get from laboratory suppliers, universities, hospitals and nuclear agencies, he made himself. and how he was fascinated by science. While David was working on his “Atomic Energy” badge for Boy Scouts, his attention soon turned to nuclear energy. As you read on in the book you will soon begin to learn that David was really big into blowing things up and trying to make new chemicals;

Now having read all of Zone One by Colson Whitehead, I learned that coming together as one hand is not always the right thing to do. This is appalling to me because I would have never agreed to such a statement prior to reading the book. Nonetheless, Whitehead opened my eyes to the concept of individuality through Mark Spitz on a deeper level. Now although, Spitz did not go against the main goal of getting rid of the undead, he preferred to be on his own, reviewing his own mind and memories, along with the other two characters in his sweeper unit. Another key point that I learned from the book is that the main character does not have to be the center of the book, the hero or the anti-hero. This is goes hand in hand with our discussions about the way the novel was written. The lines of this book are not meant to be read, but rather what is between the lines. The main question the reading evokes is what is really going on is Spitz’ head? It was difficult to

A legend, a father and grand-dad, Man o’War; war just might break out. Author of this book, Laura Hillenbrand, is not, putting pieces together for a board game, when describing this: Man o’War; Hillenbrand, is introducing a colt who, comes-to-be grandsire to Seabiscuit. When She mentioned a board game, Hillenbrand was referring to the owner of Man o’War, his name: Riddle, Samuel Riddle in all. A wealthy man, who avoided war at all cost; Riddle, has always turned down races and eventually puts, the cavalry-tank out of commission; Man o ‘War. This beauty and beast has won twenty of his twenty-one races. Man o ‘War.

Throughout this journal, one can predict that David will attempt to find a way to cure Epics of their corrupt nature, and that he will reunite with Megan. Initially, there have been junctures in the book that have pointed to David wanting to figure out how to purify an Epic. An example of one of these junctures is that he wants to be able to help Megan, his love interest and a High Epic, regain her humanity. At the end of the first book in the series, Megan uses her Epic abilities to save David and the Reckoners, and as a result gives into the corruption of her mind that comes with using her powers. From that point onward, David has been searching for a way to save her from her demoralization, as well as simultaneously trying to justify the

A story that begins as a basic search for your lost family evolves into something much more complex and morally nuanced. Like in Fallout: New Vegas, we’re drawn into a struggle between several groups competing for control of the region, and deciding which of their imperfect post-apocalyptic philosophies to align with made me pause to consider how I wanted events to play out. Even the highly questionable Institute has a tempting reason to side with them, and turning away from them in my playthrough wasn’t as clear-cut a choice as I’d expected. I was impressed by the sympathy shown toward the villains, too - even the most irredeemable murderer is explored and given a trace of humanity.

Tom Clancy was a talented author who was passionate about military history. He was born on April 12th, 1947, in Baltimore Maryland. As a child, Tom showed an early interest in science fiction and history. In addition to the military, he was interested in politics. He enjoyed listening to CDs and the radio in his spare time. Another hobby of his was playing field hockey with his friends and computer games. Additionally, Tom liked to build models of detailed military scenes and vehicles.

On the 11th Tuesday Morrie says that if “you’re in bed, you’re dead” (153). Morrie said this literally, but I take it as if you just stay in bed or stay the same person you are now then you never change, you stay dead. People need to go out into the world and make human contact and learn and give to those surrounding them. Change will never happen for the good in this world if you stay in bed. Don’t get to catch up in the world though because ultimately none of it matters. I personally think that the people who say that people should put down their magazines and stop watching their soap operas are incorrect. I know those things aren’t important in the long run, but they are pretty good fun right now. I’m living life to the

Once winter came along a storm hit shaking the very soul of a man. The days went on for what seemed like a 100 years. I’m not sure how long they expect us to stay in this damned house,

During this summer, my friends recommended that I watch a season of Warehouse 13 since I’m fond of science fiction movies, television shows, and books. I thought it was well made therefore I watched all of the episodes and I love most of the seasons. The fifth season seemed rushed and was only six episodes. Other shows I enjoy watching are Doctor Who, Supernatural, and The X-Files but there’s an overabundance of episodes. Warehouse 13 is distinctive by seeing that it won’t take up much time. This show has five seasons and around sixty episodes. They last around forty minutes each so I finished the series in two weeks. I normally don’t binge watch; however, after seeing the Indiana Jones based episode I finished fairly quickly.
