Ferocious planet

The entire story of ferocious planet is to show extrapolation./ Everything that the crew and the scientist own is futuristic and unbelievable. From death rays to robot servants, there is nothing that this new world does not have. Yet even with all this technology, the race of beings that once lived there was wiped out. This brings up the question as to what advances actually give you. They did not protect the beings who once lived there, and they caused the human to act suspiciously.

There will come soft rains

The short story "There will come soft rains" by Ray Bradbury fits the our definition of science fiction because it deals with a house that uses advanced electronic to serve its masters, even when they are dead. The house could be considered a form a robot, and even when its purpose for surviving, its family, is disintegrated with the rest of the towns population, it strives to do as it was programed. This story has many forms of extrapolation, the main component being a house that cooks, cleans, and reads for its inhabitants. I personally enjoyed this piece, partially because it seemed that the house truly loved its family, even though it was just following its programing.

Homelanding and Cause and Effect

In the short story Homelanding, a human describes what earth is like to another species. The sci fi elements found in this piece include an alien life form and traveling to a different world. In the episode of star trek the next generation, titled Cause and Effect, The crew of a space ship are trapped in a never ending time loop. The sci fi elements in the episode include space travel, alien life forms, and time travel. The reason that these two pieces may be a good intro to sci fi is that they contain many elements of science fiction, not just one. Together they outline what we will be studying in this class. These two pieces hold up to my definition of sci fi because of the use of aliens, time travel, and space voyages. I felt that these two pieces where a decent user of time, but the star trek episode caused some annoyance with the repeating of the same day over and over.

My name is Jaden Gardner. I live in a two story home with my father, mother, and two sisters. My hobbies include the study of religious fiction and criminology. I am unfortunately part of the band program and have been for 4 years. I am a senior and am looking forward to starting college at metro state next year. My paramount moment in sci fi would be my first viewing of the TV show Startgate SG-1. To me sci fi is defined as the imagined vision of the future or possible events that may occur. It is a work that of fiction that substitutes magic for scientific advancements.
