I found it hard to choose any one page to have more significance than the others, but for my blog post I will go with page 66 of the Deluxe Edition of We3. It’s the page where the train has … Continue reading → Continue reading →

This particular image in WE3 really bothered me. The entire series of “Lost” posters made the characters real “pets” it would have been easy to cast all of the animals as the Mastiff was- cold blooded alpha animals with no … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Ashley Attiliis’s post hits on a key point that we brought up in class Tuesday – what can science fiction do that other genres can’t? Ashley mentions that her perceptions of science fiction since taking this class have expanded to include “writing about what is unknown and different.” In response, Ashley Parker points out that, […] Continue reading →
