   "The Star"

The story "The Star" by H.G Wells was very slow and hard to pick up, I thought it was boring but, interning at the same. I thought it was weird how everyone reacted to the fact that the world was ending. Everyone kept going on with their life and activities, it was almost like they didn't care. Everyone just accepted the fact that they was going to die and they seem to be okay with it. It was about a head full of people who was actually scared running trying to go to church's before the big bang. This story remind me of the world today and how people just accept a lot of things that are happening in their life, people know they cant change key things that's going on so, they just accept it in keep moving on with life.

 

"Speech Sounds"

 The world population has been infected with a virus that takes away a person speech and other key things people need in their everyday life. Valerie who is a young woman who survived the virus that killed her three children and husband. Another main character was an man named Obsidian, in the story I saw him as a protector, he was the good guy. As I was reading this story, I notice it never told us were the virus came from or how it popped up. which made me think maybe its not the virus that's making these people do crazy things, maybe it their lack of communication. As humans we have this thing were we like to express our emotions and how we feel, with the virus taking that away may caused them to go crazy .I also though it was cool how Val and Obsidian found ways to communicate. The end of the story surprised me when I found out Val could talk all along.
