ScytheSo What has happened is that The introduction to the three wain characters, Scythe Faraday, Rowan, and Citra. Scythe Faraday had to train a apprentice so he chose those two to fight for who gets to be a scythe. I think this book is a lot different than other book styles of it. most of them have revolutions in them but this one doesn't. the whole book is just citra and rowan training and stuff like that. So some things that ive noticed with the book is that the whole government is none that is around today, there are no separate countries and its all just run by this computer that's called the Thunder Head. Also there inst really a police force there are peace guards who will stay with people who disobey the law and stuff like that. Through the whole book scythe Faraday talks about how in order to be a scythe you have to be morally above everyone else. He says that the scythes shouldn't like their job that they do they should realize that they have to do it to benefit society. The role of a scythe is that they have to kill 260 people per year. they do this to keep population under control. The scythes cant die but only by their hands and above all law. I really like the concept of the book and think its a really cool style of how the whole world is run. it really is a perfect utopia. The book has a few twists threw it which i will talk about in the next paragraph which i will talk about stuff that might spoil it for you.
So There are these things the scythes go to called the conclave. Where all the scythes from that region go to it and talk about the names of people they killed and bans on things, like weapons. And right before that happened there was this one scythe called scythe Goddard, the scythe of mass gleanings. they have a couple of his mass gleanings in those chapters. so one of his buddies that he goes out gleaning with stands up and says that the apprentice who doesn't get the scythe-hood should be gleaned to add competition. After all of this something unexpected happens. Scythe Faraday Gleans himself. He does this to stop the apprentice ship from continuing but little does he know two people step p and take the apprentices. One being scythe Goddard. So the rest of the book is just training and getting prepared for the last conclave where they decide who gets to be the new scythe. I really loved this book. I think that the character development through the whole book is excellent. Rowan is training and becoming fast and strong. and citra likewise. I ended up just finishing the book in about two days. It does seem short and left off with a cliff hanger but there is a second and soon to be a third book on its way.

ScytheNot much has happened in the beginning of the book. the only thing that has happened is that we have got introductions to the main characters. Then they got offered a position as scythes apprentices. I have read a couple of Utopian books before, some of the more popular ones. The book does take place on earth but really far into the future. It doesn't say exactly when but i think its about 250-350 years into the future. It does talk about about the days before the book and just call them "pre-mortal" days.
Billionaire Sets high bitcoin target price for 2022Found on CCN.com Published on April 13th 2018 Title of article: Billionaire Tim Draper Sets $250,000 Bitcoin Price Target for 2022 Author Samantha Chang What the event is is that This billionaire named Tim Draper sets a $250,000 Price for bitcoin in the year 2022. It happened Just a while ago on April 12th. In my opinion this is a little obsured and the range for that prediction is stupid. The highest price its gotten is 19000~ peaking in january. I don't think that it will skyrocket again and it will just stay around the same area. If it does tho it will be the same cycle over and over. Where it peaks and then the imaginary bubble that it created will pop again and it will go back down. I can see the reason for the prediction because if it stays where its at right now it can go up at the end other 2018 and at the begining of 2019 and keep going on that cycle over and over until by 2022 it will maybe reach $250k.
I will comment on Karley and Savannahs blog. Author: Mike Wall Published on: Space.com Date of publication: June 14th 2017 URL: https://www.space.com/37200-read-elon-musk-spacex-mars-colony-plan.html The article is about SpaceX's plan to colonize mars and the type of rocket they are planning to use and what they are working on. What Is happening is basically that SpaceX is trying to Create a Better rocket to go to mars and bring more supplies. Elon Musk Thought of a way to Have the boosters bring the rocket into space, then it will come back down in an exact location. This can be used so that it can be reused over and over without having to make another every time they launch a rocket into space. The rocket is special because it has a new raptor engine and is supposed to be the best rocket in history. The event is happening right now because People want to go to different planets to explore, learn new things and eventually inhabit them. In my opinion this is happening because We've already explored the surface of the planet so if decide to go to a new planet we can find new resources and other various things that will advance our civilization. The reason that people want to inhabit mars is because it is the closest habitable planet. (habitable if the way that you don't freeze to death or due to too much heat.) Mars does have some problems though, so we have to adapt to it. For example mars has a lot of similar, but more devastating disasters than earth. One of them is how mars can have massive dust storms and can last up to a couple weeks, they do have smaller ones but arnt as impact. Book Title: Ready Player OneSo what has happened in the next segment of my book is that Wade found the Jade key Cleared the second Gate and is now really close to finding the third gate, in the meantime the IOI corporation captures him and makes him work to pay off his debt that he "owed" the company, He had a plan though, he was going to hack the main bad guys files and find out what they know about the Gunters. he found out they had information on all of them and a lot of it, so he took it and escaped the IOI place. He then talked to all the other gunters and gave them detailed info on each of them. After that he sent out an email to all of the people on the OASIS to fight the sixers (bad guys), So the next day half of the entire population was on the planet where the third door was located. The sixers had set up a huge barrier that had a lot of Hit Points. So While Wade was at the IOI headquarters He had sent a robot to take and explode an anti-matter Bomb that blew up the sheild and a bunch of sixers. So then all of the people on that planet attacked the sixers so they had a really tough battle and then the sixers blew up the entire planet encluding them selves. So then Wade came back alive in the same spot he had died. So he went and found some boots that allowed him to fly. he went up to the crystal gate and entered. There were 2 Challenges that he went through that were silimlar to the first two. The First one he had to beat the game called tempest, and the second one he had to reenact the movie Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. He did that and then entered a room filled with old consoles. he had tried to turn on all of them but only one had worked. The atari 1600. he beat the game that was in it and found the egg and he won, he got all the things that james halliday had owned. If i were to make a sequel i would make it where they try to fix the earth after Wade Won the game. Or i would make one where they have Wade Watts die and he gives his fortune and does the same thing that Halliday does and causes the whole world to try and find it again. Another I think would be good Is that A biography of James Haliday and his Life then it ends with him making the video and then dying. I will comment on Karleys and Savannah's blog Book Name: Ready Player OneWhat happened in the book was that the main character wade, was falling behind in his work to find the second key, and when he sees that the score board changed to say that sorrento, the bad guy in the book, found both of the next keys, he started to do more work, he searched a bunch of planets and found the arcade that nobody knew about, now he thought this lead him to the key , so he looked for any in anomaly's in the arcade games, and he found on that was odd, he saw an old Pacman machine with 3,333,350 points on it, 10 points from the highest score possible. so he decided to beat it, and he did, he didn't get much from this except a quarter that doesn't play a part in the story at this moment, as soon as he finished his friend aech sent him a photo of an old video game and he realized that he where he had to go to find the jade key, so then he went to that planet and found it, surrounded by the enemy's army he barely escaped with his life. If I were to put myself into the book i think i would get along with the main character because I really like his personality of focusing on the prize which he does a lot in the book. also i think i would get along with most of the main characters because I do like things from the 80s, but unlike them i do not know everything about the 80s. If i were to interact in this book i think i would (hope) to be a tag along with one of the good main characters and just try to help them solve the puzzles and just be a good presence, But i think i wouldn't get along with Aech, I dont know why but i never really liked him, at some points i thought he was funny but other times i thought he was just weird and creepy.

Book Title: Ready Player OneSome of the relation ships are Between the main character, and one of the main characters best friends/Love interest Art3mis, Now in the beginning of the book they didn't know each other then when Wade found the first key she came in through the door and they talked for a little bit. and wade quickly became fond of her. Now wade was suspicious about her because in the OASIS you have no idea of who someone is. So Hes skeptical about how ¨she"could be a disgusting old homeless man. Now in the middle of the book art3mis isn't talking to wade because he confessed his love for her. Now the other relationship is between Him and Serrento, The main Bad guy. Now him and sorrento Are enemy's because sorrento is apart of this coporation that sells internet and wants to take over the Oasis, He tried to bribe wade to give him his secrets. Some advice i might give wade is to forget about it and not let it clog up his mind and just to focus on the prize. One impact was between sorrento and wade, When sorrento thretened wade he denied, then sorrento blew up his house and tried to kill wade. now sorrento didnt know that wade had a secret hideout where wade was when he plays his games. So after that he went on the run and moved to columbus where the main OASIS server buildings are at. I will comment on karleys and hennas blog. Book Title: Ready Player OneIn this book, It is the year 2044, The world is dying from war, famine, Poverty, but the entire human civilization is addicted to the online simulation called the OASIS. The Main character is Something called a Gunter, Gunters are hunters who try to find the inheritance of the multi-billionaire man named James Halliday, Now the characters have to solve clues of where the inheritance is hidden.
My Prediction of the book is that The main character finds the inheritance in the end, and instead of his plan to build a space ship and leave the planet for good. With a few of his friends and a life time supply of food, I think he will use it to help fix humanity or move the entire humanity to a new planet. In the next part of the book I believe that all the people who have found the copper key will gang up and use their vast knowledge to solve the hunt for the inheritance. I really like this book because it has a lot of the things I like in a book, its detailed but not overly detailed to the point where it just gets boring and all seems like filler and, it has a really good story, and it generally has things I like in the content. Article Posted on Thursday January 25th, 2018
By Jen Christensen I found this article about these scientists that cloned a monkey in shenghai, China and they used the same technique as dolly the sheep in 1996. They named the two monkeys hua hua and zhong zhong. They are two long-tailed macaques,. The article talks about how they used somatic cell transfer which is where they remove the eggs neucules - Which is where the egg contains most of its genetic information- and then replace it with another neucules. I wonder what will happen with the monkeys when they grow up. Like where will they live and what will be the purpose of cloning monkeys in the future? I can see the purpose with animals that we eat or with near extinct animals but I don't see the purpose for cloning monkeys in the future. Why do you think that the Purpose of cloning in the future? I think that it could be used to do something from star wars and create the perfect army. And I will comment on Savannah and Hennas blogs. |
