 Sketch One: Write at least 200 words 

It is ten years from now, the holiday season of 2030.  You are thinking about a present you might be getting for the holidays.  What is it?  Talk about how you did your holiday shopping,  What is your job and how are you doing it?  What is your living situation and what are the major issues of the day?  Please make these questions relevant to any appropriate holidays you celebrate.  

In ten years from now, I am really not sure what company I will be at. I hope that it would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I was born and raised in Florida and I'd really like for it to continue being my home. However, my boyfriend does not get to pick where he goes, his job gets to tell him so if he ends up traveling I will inevitably travel with him to get all the experiences I can get before settling back home. 

I have a dog now but I think by 2030 I will probably attain a few more fur babies. 
Currently, I have Alpha, I'd like him to have a brother and sister names Bravo and Charlie. 

I do not see kids in my future however I hear that changes as you get older.

I think I'd be living in a house, or at least looking to buy one by 2030. This pup needs a big back yard and I intend to give him just that. 

My Major issues of the day probably consist of what to cook for dinner, when my boyfriend will be home, a current client or project that has me wrapped up in work. 

I see myself also driving my Jeep, but maybe its a mud toy now. As well as my garage having multiple motorcycles in it. I think this will still be my passion to work on cars, truck,s and motorcycles in my free time. 



Sketch Two:  Write at least 200 words.

It is 50 years from now, the holiday season of 2070, it's looking like it might be probably that you will live to see the next century.  What are the dominant technologies of 2070 and how have they changed the way people behave and relate?  How do you fit into this technology environment?

In 50 years I hope to be retired somewhere on a beach... but if we are being honest I will probably work until I die because I am a workaholic and I like to keep busy. Technology will probably be sooooo very different from what we are used to now. I can even begin to imagine the number of things that will change. 

Hopefully, we don't have flying cars.. people can't drive at is it and I really think we should keep the pilots in the air and the idiots on the ground.

Maybe we will have com systems and it'll eliminate the need to carry your phones around... which overall would be so great.

I hope we don't end up like Wall-e that would suck hard because I love my freedom.

Oh and I hope I have lots of dogs :)

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (6 points)

After reading Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake, I described it as "the COVID-19 conspiracy theory that my grandpa sent me on crack." The shocking similarity to our current state, and the outcome of the book attributing itself to the worst parts of capitalism made it all the more hard for me to digest the novel. I personally did not enjoy it for mostly that reason, but looking at it from an objective standpoint has shown me that Oryx and Crake is a very well-written commentary on many things in our current society. Going in, I had a feeling that I would be reading something on the more literary side masked by a very specific type of genre writing; I was already familiar with Atwood's style due to having read The Handmaid's Tale. When picking a novel, I usually go for something on the more genre fiction side. I enjoy escaping into tales of possible futures, odd worlds, adventures beyond my wildest dreams; it is just that, an escape from our current lives and a form

Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (5 points)

For this week's reading, I chose to read Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane. The novel took a while for me to get hooked, as every page was a new concept out of left field. However, I enjoyed the story once it picked up, and how it played on a piece of mythology I haven't seen in a while: women in threes. In multiple types of mythologies and religions, there exists a trio of powerful women - the Moirai, the Graeae, the Norns, the three Morrígna, and many more. Some portray them all as old women, others show them as the maiden, the mother, and the crone. In Gaiman's case, he chose the latter of the two, the three appearing as the mysterious and intriguing Hempstock women. It was incredibly refreshing to have read this representation of the three women. Oftentimes, they are shown as crazy old ladies, or untouchable goddesses with perfection beyond belief. Gaiman chose to humanize them in the Ocean at the End of the Lane; he shows it through their kindness and care

The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman 5 points

 I love love loved this when I was a kid and honestly I just got better reading it as an adult.  I really love this book because I have always grown up with animals and I love the concept of having an animal basically being connected with you on a whole other level.  I love my dog. And to think that I could actually communicate with him and that we could talk and go on adventures and have another level of understanding just blows my mind. Not only that but when he is young he can shape shift until he chooses a form. UGH there are not enough words to talk about how freaking cool this would be. I'm getting way to into it. Lyra is just an amazing representation how little girls should grow up to be. Strong willed, freedom seeking, and just getting down and dirty. She is an amazing friend to put herself in danger to make sure her friends are safe. I think as a kid the movie was awesome. But now that I am not I think the book just does a way better job of discussing the emotions and fee
