Harry Potter- The wonderful world of imagination

Gosh, I love Harry Potter and the series. My mother read me these books to me as a child and I remember loving them then and even now they still hold up. For me, this book is truly a demonstration of how wonderful imagination and magic can be. First off I really admire J.K. Rowling as a writer in the modern era and just who she is as a person. (Bringing attention to our incompetent president on a platform he has no business on.) 

But back to Harry Potter. Harry Potter I think in and of itself is a great book for escapism for children honestly. For those who go through abuse or feel as though they are an outcast the book makes you feel as though there is something more out there. She writes Harry as a awkward troubled young Man who struggles with the death of his parents living in an abusive household that is introduced to this magical world. I think perhaps that is why I liked it so Much as a child because of the relatable. Because even though Harry was given the short end of the stick so to speak being an orphan, he overcame that and entered into this beyond magical realme where he makes friends and overcomes adversity.

The Martian: Potatoes, Poop, and Pioneers -

I am not a huge fan of reading science fiction, rather it has been such a long time since I ever read any science fiction in the slightest. I mean, I think the last piece of literature I actually read on the matter is Ender's Game and lets just say after about hearing about the author I didn't touch another book in the series. So the Martian, proved to be very interesting to me in the sense I wanted to keep reading it. Now the genre itself is super appealing to me. I love space things and anything to do with the future. I love talking about where our world is heading tech wise- etc. The Martian specifically should just be a lesson to everyone how you must survive and hopefully, you have former crew members and some competent people willing to come for you after getting stuck on literally another planet. Overall I liked the story, it didn't seem like I was reading anything new while diving into this though. Just seems like a tale I have heard over and over again. I mean we

The Distance of the Moon

This was definitely an interesting short story and one I was not expecting.  I personally found it hard to get into and was surprised to find out just how weird it kinda was in a way. The short story itself is basically a love tale but more referring to both the moon and the earth and the main character and their cousin involved with it. Sitting down and trying to munch through this short story was difficult for me because I just found how the writing came across as overly verbose and almost as if the author was trying to write a slam poem yet intertwined with a story. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it. then again I like the concept of it and the main rudimentary idea in a story of when you have something you cannot appreciate it as when it leaves. I think that rains true in real life and not just in the works of fiction.  I am not sure either because if I am not mistaken the author is Italian so knowing the culture I can definitely understand why he chose to make a love story of sorts a

BIG O -

This week I read the graphic novel version of Big O- the Japanese version. As a younger kid I had seen it before on the shelf and it really caught my attention. Reading it in the original language on top of the rest of the story was actually really insightful. First, off the story itself was amazing and an intriguing sense of what it is to be human. The main character  Rojā Sumisu  or "Roger Smith" in English, is a negotiator who pilots a mech and ends up on the wrong end of a deal while negotiating which results in one of his clients' "daughter" to come and stay with him. Overall the book was action packed and because it was based on the manga it made for some great illustrations.  I love   Doroshī because she is a great female character. The entire story just sort of revolves around her constantly aiding Roger and saving him from precarious situations and even in battle. So you have this android female in a story mainly revolving around these men in the mech
