The Dark Life Review Kat Falls was inspired to write Dark Life because her son was reading about the ocean a lot. Dark Life is book written by Kat Falls. Ty lives in an underwater experimental homestead. Then a topsider named Gemma went subsea to look for her missing brother who is lost. Whenever Ty and Gemma meet they team up to find Gemma’s brother, but they also have the outlaws to deal with. Students should read this book because it has a nonfiction connection to submarines and a theme of people should be wary of others To begin, Dark Life mentions submarines like the ones the military use, but the characters in Dark Life use them for transportation. In the article , Attack Submarines, www.Navy.mil states “With the number of foreign diesel-electric/ air-independent propulsion submarines… The United …show more content…
The novel states “‘One: The commonwealth is halting all shipments to the settlement until the Seablite Gang is caught’. No one said anything: the announcement was not a surprise. Everyone knew the government had lost a lot of money on stolen cargo.” (Falls 47). This quotation proves that the characters need to be careful of the outlaws, so they can catch them and not get hurt. On page 70, the author states “‘outlaws’ he choked out. Fear hit me like a one-two punch. ‘At your homestead?’ ‘ they knocked out Pops.’ Tears filled Hewitt's eyes.” This quotation explains that the characters were hurt because they were not wary and when Ty left to go help Hewitt's family. “‘ Outlaws.’ I yanked open the greenhouse door and we ran for the stairs only to skid to a stop in the center of the wet room as the shadow glided by another window- this time close close enough to blot out all else. Faster and faster , the Specter circled”(Falls 212). In this quote the characters were wary because they always watched while they were in the wet room and while running to

    In the Darkest Child chapters 19 – 27 there was a lot of sadness. People were hurt, people died, and people cried. When I read the darkest child I try to look at things in their shoes so that I can understand and feel more for the story then just reading it. These chapters seemed like the twist in the story, the part of the story that turns a lot around and changes the suspicion. This is very much so interesting to me.…

    The Left Hand of Darkness was published in 1969, won both the Hugo and Nebula awards and is considered a monolith in feminist science fiction, as it dealt with an androgynous humanoid species. Overlooked and underutilized, science fiction as a genre largely originated from American pulp magazines, and became the underdog of literature despite its revolutionary potential for envisioning new worlds and other ways of living. The Left Hand of Darkness remains relevant in the world of literature, as science fiction continues to endure and evolve as a genre and the philosophy of transcending barriers and dualism continues to be timeless and universal. With that in mind, I will investigate the question: How does Ursula K. Le Guin explore dualism and wholeness in her novel The Left Hand of Darkness?…

    All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is a novel about the impact war has on innocent people's lives. The struggles of people with disabilities in a time where people weren’t very kind to each other was mentioned often in the story. Doerr writes often about people who coped with and tried to cure blindness through curses, roadblocks, treasure hunts and terrible allies. It seemed that the search for answers and finding hope was the main theme of the story. But it was very sad and dark often, it was depressing in some parts.…

    Mr. Dark is a very interesting and important character. He is the antagonist of the novel, and resembles an evil force throughout the story. Mr. Dark can be physically described “Tall as a lamp post, his pale face, lunar pockmarks denting it” ( Bradbury 73). His body is covered in tattoos of the carnival crew, and he is known as the Illustrated Man because of them. “His eyebrows, his hair, his suit were licorice black, and the sun yellow gem which stared from the tie pin thrust in his cravat was the same unblinking shade and bright crystal as his eyes” (73). His physique is generally scary, because of the dark colors which resemble his personality (licorice black suit, hair, crystal eyes, etc). Mr. Dark is the mastermind behind the whole carnival.…

    In today’s world, there exists many binary systems: hot and cold, light and dark, good and evil, the list goes on and on. One of the most important binary systems we have is in gender, male and female. The span of human history has seen the creation and development of societal expectations based on a person’s sex. While the system is far from perfect, with gender inequality continuing to exist across the globe, humanity has accomplished much with this system. Ursula Le Guin uses The Left Hand of Darkness to pose an interesting question: what would a world be like where gender did not exist? On Gethen, the setting of the book, the people are androgynous, only taking on sexual characteristics a few days a month for the purpose of procreation.…

    Richard Miller has a lot to say in The Dark Night Of The Soul but one thing that really stuck out to me was that there is only so much we can do to try and control the behavior of students. Reading and writing isn’t going to save every one of their problems. It can have just as much of an effect on someone today as technology can. In most of the stories he shows there is this concept along with many others that have to do with reading and writing.…
