IN CLASS READING:
BLOOD CHILD

I was kind of confused reading this. What really stuck with me is that these people could eat an egg and it would prolong their life. What there me off during the reading was the new terminology that was used like Tlic, or T'Gatoi, or Terrann or N'Tlic. Every time I would stop because I don't know if this is slang the writer came up with or if these are terms or names. I didn't make a real significant connection with the story because I am a slow reader and didn't get through all of it. But the one silly connection I made was when the protagonist didn't want to slaughter an animal but he was told to do so. I know, I know, thats weird connection to make. But I've never and never will kill an animal.
I don't think I would change anything to adopt this story into another medium. However, I would adapt the idea of changing the gender of the person giving birth to  an intricate sigh show, like Star Trek for example.

I watched Serenity (2005) I haven't seen the TV series Firefly that preceded this. This movie was a nice change of the traditional space scifi type film. It had a very deep story and it definitely seems more realistic. However it didn't lack that fiction magic aspect. However throughout the movie I felt as if I was missing information I might have needed to watch the TV show to get. I say, that in a way it is kind of like “Alien” meets “Star Wars” or “The Walking Dead” meets “Star Trek”.

I like how descriptive Anne Rice is when she wrote this. She had the boy describe the vampire pulling the curtains back. I, myself was wanting to read more, unable to stop because I could see it clearly in my head. The writer uses such descriptions and similes I feel immersed in the story. While I was reading this story I noticed that there were a lot of similes and metaphors. I thought they contributed nicely with the story I think that the relationship between the vampire and the boy is unique and interesting. The boy throughout the story is recording what the vampire says on a tape recording, to document what the vampire says in the interview. The vampire in the story really goes in depth with the people in its life starting with it's brother and his death and the relationships the vampire had. In the story the vampire tells the boy with the tape recorder a lot about death. The vampire has seemed to have dealt with this alot in his life. This book is an interesting...
