2001 Space odyssey

I an reading the Novel the 2001 Space Odyssey. So far this book has started with the begginning of man kind. The main character so far is Moon Watcher. He is the leader of his tribe. His tribe is struggling to stay alive and with everyday comes more deaths. But one night Moon Watcher notices a large stone has appearded outside of his cave. He has no idea what it is. But later that night the stone begings to light up. Taking control of one mind at a time. The stone is teaching the tribe how to survive. It is also sifting through the tribe to find the fittest. The fittest is clearly Moon watcher.
Moon Watcher is learning the fastest and shows the most cordination. The next day Moon Watcher and his tribe go down to the stream. His tribe is no longer huingry all the time because this stone from outer space has taught them how to hunt. Thus, making them the stringest tribe. The other tribes are all dying out but Moon Watchers is thriving. This book so far is very interesting. It is showing the growing of man in a science fiction kind of way.

Sherlock Holmes

           The movie Sherlock Holmes is a very intense movie. The setting i could assume is London in the late1800's early 1900's. This is a movie i would consider it to be an action and mystery film. There is a lot of action when they are on the job. Which mainly end up with fist fight, gun shots, people getting killed. Holmes has a perticular sense of awarness and is very atentive. This helps him look deeper into the suspects.
            Watson on the other hand is more reserved. He has a more technical aproach. These two together work like a well oiled machine. There isnt many mysteries they cant solve. In the movie they are assigned to solve the case of lord Blackwell. He knows how to use magic. Holmes has a lot against him on this one. So far it is a good movie and it should only get better. I am excited to see the end.

Response to The Curious incident of the dog in the night-time

The Curious incident of the dog in the night-time was a good read. I really like how Christopher took a lot of his quests on by himself. He branched out from his father and his mother. It was not his fault about his Mother though. I did not like that his Father deceieved him into thinking that his mother died of a heart problem. He should had just told Christopher the truth from the beginning.

Throughout the book you can really see how Christopher struggles with people socially. I understand how his Mother had such a short temper because it would be hard to deal with it day in and day out. But it was no reason to flee Swindon to escape reality. But in the end it caught up with her when Christopher made the journey to London by himself. Although he did still scream whenever he was touched throughout his trip to London, he generally kept it toigether. I did not agree with his decisoin to jump after Toby on to the train tracks when a train was coming in.

When Christopher reached London i was actually suprised on how well his mother reacted to his presence. She really treated him very well. When they came back from London i was happy when his Father said she couldnt move back in. I wouldnt let someone who cheated on me back in my house.

It was very shocking to find out that Christopher's Father actually killed Wellington. I did not see that coming at all. This book did a very good job of suprising me and giving me things i did not expect was going to happen. His Father did a good job by starting a new "project" with Christopher. When he bought him that dog it showed Christopher that his Father cared.

Overall this book is a very interestiong and good read. I would without a doubt reccomend it to another to read. For the time you are reading it you are seing what life is life through someone who has Aspergers syndrome. It was never boring and always kept me thinking about what was going to happen next. I would have never expected at the begginging of the book that Christopher would accomplish so much. I cant stress the fact enough that this book always had moments that i did not see coming. It helped me keep an interest in the book.

What if....

What if there was a zombie apocalypse. How would you survive. But first off lets get the circumstances correct. If the zombies walk or run. or can they smell you from a mile away. I would prefer that they walked and they couldnt smell. But i have no clue what could be thrown at us. The first thing i would do is find a weapon. So i can survive for a little. Then i will hopefully meet up with some buddies of mine.

After we meet up we will search for a safe spot to set up camp.(most likely the big m) This will hopefully give us enough saftey for the time being. At this time we will most likely al;ready have lost most of our group, but what did you expect was going to happen. Chances are that most of us will not survive the first 24 hours of the outbreak.

Henry David Thoreau

I do not agree with this because everyone is surrounded by materialistic goods. Every family has materialistic goods. These can be clothes to a dish washer or a car. Not having these types of goods is nearly impossible. By using these goods, Henry David Thoreau states that you will become dominated by these materialistic goods.
A dish washer is materialistic without a doubt. I could do without it by hand washing my dishes but that would be pointless if i have a machine to do it for me. My dish washer is not dominating me by any means. I can choose when and when not to use it. Therefore i do not agree with his statement.

"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the numbers away. i think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical, but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them"

I think Christopher does this because in his eyes all the prime numbers are like 1,2,3 to him, so it would make sense to number all these chapters in prime numbers. This is his little touch to his book. He says you can never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.
I think Christiopher is so mathematically inclined and that is most of what he knows so he compares it to life, because you can get to know someone but you will not know everything about them. Even if you spend all your time thinking about that person. Thats why i think he compares prime numbers to life. Life is very hard to figure out, just like prime numbers.
