From the creation of galaxies, to what goes on inside a blakc hole. It is always the assignment of a writer to choose a theory that makes sense to a larger audience.

The task of gathering information is very difficult. Although a writer(me) can be more creative and speculative when writing about space, they must still take in account the mechanics and physics behind the theories. It is always a responsibility of a writer(me) to keep in mind that a wide range of theories exist, a large enough spectrum that I can choose from.

My obligation to read this book started when I decided to write short stories about space and time. It is always a burden of the author to know factual evidence about the subject that they are writing for. Space is very ambiguous because it is super mysterious. What we know about it is limited to a small spectrum that is mostly speculation and theory.

Comparing the size of our solar system to everything else in the universe is very scary, but fascinating. Maybe we will be able to ride a bicycle or parachute on the moon one day. If there is a chance of us to find human life forms we must show proper etiquette, have no prejudice, and don't be afraid to be a questionnaire. Now hop on your spaceship and stare into the leeward side, just hope that htere isn't a squall.

Unless there is an incident where Europa's temperature rises, we would have to go through the laborious process to make the planet's condition adequate to acommodate human life. Exploration and discovery of space will be endless due to the sheer quantity of celestial objects. You will have to be extremely conscientious of you were to explore space.

Through the Symphony of stars in our nights sky, to the extremely strict circumstances in which a black hole is created. This book really makes you look like a foreigner to space. I am currently reading about the oceans of Europa, one of Jupiter's distinguished moons in this book. It often reaches surface temperatures of -260 degrees farenheit, we would not be conscious on that surface.

The main character and his partner Ishmael have just met capitan Ahab, there is something about this character that just speaks eccentricity, the fact that he holds a grudge against a white sperm whale who bit his leg off. Ishmael had a dream where he was kciked by Ahab's whale bone leg, he is clearly afraid of Ahab.

Steinbeck also does a great job of making the characters relatable, I had an emotional connection to Tom Joad and I ended up in tears when I finished the book.

The Grapes of wrath is my book of the year due to the fact that it captivated me so much that it completely broke me down emotionally.

I would reccomend the book The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck because Steinbeck does a great job at captivating the audience with amazing use of literary devices such as similes and metaphors to foreshadow. The plot of this story is very interesting with many unsuspected turns and twists.

Rebecca thinks that the book, I will give you the sun is her book of the year because of the reasons stated above.

I will give you the sun by Jandy Nelson, The way that the author writes is very detailed and captivated the reader into constantly reading, the plot is very interesting and modernized so we can relate, and The way that the characters shift perspestive is very interesting.

Rebecca Rapaport, I will give you the sun by Jandy Nelson, List for the Dead by Michelle falkof, Harry Potter and the Half blood prince by J.K. Rowling.

The New York Times did an article titled,"Why Read Moby Dick." This article states a lot of reasons why to read the book. On quote stated that,"It(Moby Dick) is the American Bible." From explaining the plot of this book, which is essentially a capitan who becomes obsessed with getting revenge on the whale who bit off his leg, to giving references to Melville himself.

We find out that he is sells shrunken heads and the In keeper says that they are the heads of this man's enemy. Ultimately this makes Ishmael now does not want to share a room with him and insists that he sleep on a bench in the tavern.

The Spouter Inn is a very peculiar place to stay. Ishmael thinks that his fate is sealed when the Inn keeper tells him that he needs to share a room with a harpooner. The Inn keeper proceeds to tell Ishmael a lot of peculiar stories about this mysterious man to scare him.

In this series of books, The author does a great job of illustrating the perspective of other people. He does this by switching the perspectives in which the book is narrated from. For example,he would start from the views of the protagonist and evaluates the character's views, then he would go to an antagonist or any supporting charachter to narrate sharing his or her views.

My parents are Chinese, so they don't really do well with English. We do not have any family reading habits. I personally am not really that fast at reading, it depends on how well the book captivates its audience (me) and makes every aspect as clear as crystal.

I really have no set reading habits, they are very inconsistent. The places that I read span to anywhere quiet in my house. I normally find myself reading next to a window, in my brother's room (which is empty right now because he is in college), and simply on my bed or on a couch if they are quiet enough.

Human nature is very curious. This is why the setting of Helix cannot take place in Manhattan Beach.

The people will wonder what would be going on inside the headquarters. A hypothetical example would be, if a new factory opened in the middle of Manhattan, offering kids to work there for a 3 year scholarship, and no tours allowed of the factory. People would wonder what is going on in there, and why they are doing this.

In the story, the organization, fifth harmony, created a lot of advanced technology, and an academy of child spies that needed to be hidden to the public. Due to this factor, the headquarters of this organization needed to be isolated from the human population. Manhattan Beach is not an isolated, rural place, but a populated, growing city.
