Ready Player One Sparknotes

Wade’s friends from Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One both contributed and withheld his ability to pass the copper key, jade key, and the crystal gate. Aech was Wade’s one and only friend, whose Joust matches had allowed Wade to obtain the copper key. Art3mis was Wade's “cyber-crush”(pg.43), her “support” for him heavily reduced his ability to find the jade key. Finally, all of Wade’s friends provided support and useful tips so he could pass the crystal key. Wade’s has very few friends, the ones he has are competing against him, yet they still have a vital impact on his ability to win the

The virtual world has its strong points. This statement is true and undeniable. Indeed, social networks are an excellent way to connect people worldwide and let them share their thoughts and ideas. However, I cannot agree more to Gladwell’s thesis.

While reading The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, I felt as if I took a time travel to the 1960’s. The book clearly gives an insight to the past. Unlike other book, The Outsiders has its own unique meaning. The author created something different than a modern clique book that I read in my day to day life. Hinton’s word choice creates an interesting book where it felt as if it was non-fiction than young-adult fiction. I like this book because the author made something extraordinary by stating the past rather than another author’s writing twenty-first century book.

You have been told that people are influenced by the things around them. People are influenced by other people, circumstances, and many things, but what about the influence of space? Space is just as common an influence as many other things. Space is an important influence in Ready Player One. Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, is a science-fiction novel centered around a hunt for a fortune that the founder of a virtual world has left that can be unlocked by clues & winning games. The winner will have massive power & fortune. The influence of space is great because of how the OASIS world affects Wade, how the Playstation virtual world affects me, & how gender codes affect you.

I personally believe that there are some partial relations between Ready Player One and the Holocaust. Granted the book is not the exact same context as the Holocaust, based on some things that happened during the Holocaust, Ex. Dehumanization, Killing of Jewish people, etc, I still think there is a partial relationship between the two.

Interpersonal communication is primarily dyadic, meaning it involves two people. There are examples of this everywhere, from two coworkers who are becoming close friends to two people entering a romantic relationship. Interpersonal communication is all around us, especially romantic relationships. As a result, many of the movies we watch have examples of interpersonal relationships which reflects the ones in our own lives. This paper will highlight the relationship between Wade and Vanessa from the movie “Deadpool,” relate it to the concepts we have learned in class, and illustrate how we can learn from it.

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

In the fictional novel, Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, the main character, Wade Watts makes a joke about a comparision of being signed up to a corporation and rolling around in glass naked. Wade Watts lives in the year 2044 and it is a disaster. Living in post-apocalyptic Oklahoma City, his only get away from reality is to escape to the virtual reality of the OASIS. The OASIS is a giant video game that takes the player away to a different virtual world than the one they are living in. Wade is usually online in the OASIS because he feels that it is the safest and most fun place to be in. He is in his last year of highschool and he was telling the readers that he said he would much rather prefer being a full time “gunter” (a person dedicated

Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, follows protagonist Wade Watts, better known by his avatar Parzival, as he searches for an Easter egg, containing a billionaire’s life savings, hidden in a virtual reality called the OASIS. Parzival displays loyalty for fellow gunters, dependence on his close friends, and courage in a risky situation during his quest for the egg. Parzival remains loyal to the gunters when confronted by the Sixers. In addition, Parzival depends on the people around him, for both help and company, during the contest. Wade also proves that he is courageous when he invents a plan that could end his life.

Nowadays, many people often wish they had the ability to leave the real world and create an entirely different life somewhere new. In Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, James Donovan Halliday has created a way for people to do just that. A dystopian novel that's filled with references to movies, videogames, and 80's pop culture. The author follows a poor, orphaned, teenager who goes by Wade Watts in the real world but Parzival inside the OASIS. Samantha Cook, Helen Harris, Akihide Karatsu, and Toshiro Yoshiaki better known as Art3mis, Aech, Daito, and Shoto are friends of Wade's who compete against and help him throughout the hunt for an Easter egg. There are multiple themes throughout this book but I'd have to say that the primary theme is perseverance. Throughout Wade's struggle through poverty, loneliness, and unrequited love he still manages to barely doubt himself during the contest. He uses his excessive knowledge on Halliday to excel in his challenging journey to victory.

Something wasn't right, and that something was staring me right in the face, literally. I looked down at the book in my hands to be greeted with a creepy image of a cracked mask, which appeared to be blinking with its two misshapen eyes. One of the eyes was short and wide, while the other was tall and skinny. Out of fear, I quickly turned the page to find out that the words had turned into symbols.

Imagine a world, that is anything and everything. Race a dream car. Meet a superstar. Go to Paris, New York, London, or even see the Great Pyramids. A virtual reality - an idea that is coming to life, an idea that will change the world, whether it be good or bad.

game, just to avoid being harassed by men around them. That situation may sound ridiculous to and can upset a majority of the population. One should not feel the need to hide their real gender just to attend a baseball game. So why should women feel the need to hide their gender in online gaming? According to a Tedx Talk speaker Stirling Little, sixty-eight percent of women playing video games have reported hiding their real gender for fear of harassment. If someone were to identify themselves as a woman online, it would be unavoidable to receive sexist comments from other players. As a society we have accepted the idea of harassing women as a social norm. In the novel Ready Player one by Ernest Cline, [basics of the book/summary] we are introduced to examples of characters hiding their genders online in order to be taken more seriously. We can compare Ready Player One to today’s society when it comes to gender issues. In both the novel and society, women have limited job opportunities, are objectified for their sex, and are associated with feminine phrases used by others to insult someone. The public has to start caring about how they treat women online because they make up more than half of the gaming population. If people really want their games to stop following the gender stereotypes, they need to look at themselves as a whole and change the way they think.
