As some of you may have noticed, I have recently been writing many of my blogs on books by Andy Weir ( The Martian and Project Hail Mary ). This is another one of those blogs. Andy Weir’s space books are to this day some of the best books that I have read, and Artemis is the most recent book that I read from Weir and this blog will be a review of Artemis (with no spoilers). Artemis is set in the near future on the first Moon base, and follows the adventures of Jasmine Bashara. Jasmine officially works as a porter, delivering goods to the people of the residents of the base, but also works as a small-time smuggler. Although she has both her smuggling business and her normal job, Jasmine often is short on money. This leads Jasmine to be quick to accept a role in a large-scale smuggling job. The job revolves around harvesting a rare metal called zirconium. Jasmine is approached by a businessman who promises her a large amount of money if she is able to sabotage a competitor's harv...

               As the school year has begun to come to an end, it has gotten more and more busy. With more classwork and the lack of free reading days, it has gotten harder for me to read long books. Therefore I decided to read a book I had gotten from a friend a few years ago, ようこそ地球さん [Welcome Mr./Mrs. Earth], written by Shinichi Hoshi known for his thousands of short short science fiction stories. His short stories are about various topics such as about clever salesman, aliens coming to Earth, and finding new species, but all have some sort of twist to it, entertaining readers from start to finish. He also adds these drawings once in a while which are interesting to look at. I am not sure why he titled the book as Welcome Mr./Mrs. Earth as this isn't a title of any of the stories nor really relevant (unless it has to do with a lot of the short stories being about space). In this post, I want to share some of the stories I enjoyed reading a...

No Brainer is the 18th book in the Diary of the Wimpy Kid Series, and in my opinion, one of the worst yet. This book mainly focuses on Greg Heffley's school experience, and while a lot of the books may do that, almost all the scenes in this book take place in the school. Essentially, Greg's School had some of its worst testing scores yet, leading to massive budget cuts for them. This has led to the school taking some drastic measures to stay in business, such as renting out half of their classrooms to local businesses, while also cutting out all classes that weren't covering any curriculum that was part of the state testing. In addition, Greg's School started letting businesses advertise in any free area across the school, such as on lockers, on the floor, and in urinals, and school lunches also lost a lot of their quality, as the only thing the School was consistently serving nowadays were chocolate-covered tofu dogs. These changes however can only keep the school runn...

     Today Tonight Tomorrow  by Rachel Lynn Solomon is a fiction book starting with the high school rivalry between a boy named Neil and a girl named Rowan. The two teenagers have had a brutal competition between them since the start of high school, and at the start of the book it's the end of senior year and all Rowans wants to do is beat her long-willed enemy one more time. The last thing she wants to beat him in being is the Valedictorian, although she finds out early into the day that Neil has beaten her. After she is eternally crushed by her loss, there is one more thing that she thinks she has a strong chance of winning. The Senior Howl is a city-wide scavenger hunt where people can be tagged out of play. Because the whole grade knows that Neil and Rowan always win, they want the two to be taken out. Because of this, the two have to team up to be able to survive in the game. This scavenger hunt goes on, and with their quirky chemistry and brains, it gives for a...

  In this blog I will be analyzing two of Wes Anderson’s films. For those who are unfamiliar with Wes Anderson, he is a well known film writer, producer, and director, and is famous for his colorful, intense, and unorthodox style. If you have seen Fantastic Mr. Fox, probably his most mainstream movie, you have watched a Wes Anderson film. I will be analyzing in this post, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and his most recent film, Asteroid City. This blog will contain spoilers and may also be… kinda long. SO buckle up! The Grand Budapest Hotel The Grand Budapest Hotel has a layering of different storylines, but the main one is about a young adult, Zero, in the 1930s. Zero becomes a lobby boy for, of course, the Grand Budapest Hotel. The major storyline is Zero’s relationship to the great M. Gustave, the Hotel Concierge. Gustave is a strange fellow, having relationships with many of the hotel’s rich elderly guests. The plot expands when one of these guests is murdered. Gustave is then acc...
