5 10 and 50 years from now

Five years from now I don't see a whole lot changing in landscape however I think by then our resources will be almost gone because no one uses moderation any more. Oil will probably run out, the Earth's ozone layer will be more messed up and I am sure more violence and riots will ensue. I definitely think stupidity will rise because like the movie says all the stupid people have a shit ton of kids and because of that smart people don't because lets face it the stupid will rub off them. Parents let kids talk back to them, they cuss up a storm and even worse when I am on duty at my job I have to baby sit because parents just let their kids run ramped through the store. Honestly I see more of a Hunger Games theme going on in the near future. Where we get separated by how rich or poor we are. States are already making talks of separating from the union so I would imagine we would be living a life style like the civil war times. I would imagine that all the past fashions would become popular again (because thus far thats what happens) except instead of wearing shit like YOLO and Swag they will probably be wearing some other stupid abbreviation.

I will hopefully own my own business and give more than I receive. There are tons of foundations out there and causes that I myself have lived through that need help. I am a cosmetologist and a photographer so that is what my business would consist of and a coffee/bakery shop next door for my mom so she is taken care of. I don't think I will be married because I am too ambitious and because I am constantly moving forward it just never seems to stick with anyone but I am sure I will have a boyfriend. I won't have kids due to my outlook stated in the above paragraph. I bet my best friend and I will get a reality tv show because everyone will love us and we will either live together or really close. 

I doubt much will happen with entertainment, however Korea is very advanced in their technology that I am sure it will spread. Cure for cancer or HIV will never be made at least not announced publicly because too many people would lose their jobs. 

Hopefully in 50 years I will be dead.

week 13

This week we read Aquatic Uncle in class, for the last week I have been trying to understand what you meant by written in a genre or with elements of a genre and after reading this story I understand what you mean. For this particular story I felt like this was a mix between a sci fi and a fantasy story, which I actually prefer reading over straight sci fi. I especially liked this story because even though it didn't go too much into detail about the characters I can totally get a read of who they are by the way they interact with each other and what they say which I didn't get from the reading last week. I found the relationship between the great uncle and the boy very relatable because I feel like I have that kind of relationship with my grandparents because we grew up in different times we don't always see eye to eye. Because of that relation to the story I really enjoyed it.

week 12

We read Bloodchild in class and I feel like it wasn't bad but I didn't I didn't walk away wanting to read it again or read more. I have read short stories with more description with their characters and descriptions as well. For me I am very empathetic and I just couldn't understand the characters at all. Not saying she is a bad author or her story wasn't good because the reproduction scene was really well written but I just prefer to make a connection with the characters.
