Setting excercise

A cave In Afghanistan by Donny Murphy

              It must of been some kind of military base before, judging from the broken radio transmitters and worn out bunk bed. The walls were moist and rough to he touch. There is absloute darkness  without a light of your own, so dark your hand is invisible if you put it in front of your face. There are small puddles of what appear to be water all over the ground but they aren't deep enough to dampen nothing but the bottom of your boots. The broken radio transmitter sits on a worn out wooden desk that has a broken leg in the bottom left corner. In the chair of the desk sits a skeleton wearing a barret. The skeleton has what appears to be a bullet hole rite through the eye ball. On the bunk an unlit broken lantern hangs from the top. Old versions of the islamic bible lie scatterd amongst the bunks and ground. Underneath the bunk is a trap door leading underground it must have been used by the guards as an escape route.

My Science Fiction introduction

In this class I think we'll be exploring and reading a lot of different sci fi and fantasy storys, books, and films. Also I think after we finish a certain unit we will post and write about it on our blog. I think we will branch off each aspect of sci fi from dark sci fi to high fantasy etc. From each form of reading we recieve I believe we will have to respond by either worksheet, essay, short essay, or other. I think tests in this class will be on certain novels we read or certain aspects of either sci fi or fantasy.
