On my last super great amazing post about Hal the mean robot, Ms Swan, the gracious host of our amazing awards, left some questions I will now answer.
Q: Why DO you think both apes and men freak out about the monolith? (Are they impressed? What IS their reaction?)
A: Men are proud of themselves that they can explore the moon and take a super ambitious selfie. Apes are super confused, and stare at it with awe.
A: no he was a big rude meanie >:c
I really couldn't feel bad for Hal, his death song wasn't even cute, I was like "good". He would've killed the other guy if he hadn't stopped him.
And now for a Frozen Journey. That story was so cool, and the way that a man was ruined from the inside. Poor guy. I like how his guilt over the little bird ruined his life.
So sad I missed the swannies :( they sounded legendary. I think we shouldn't necessary feel sorry for Hal, he made an informed decision, it's interesting to guess his motives tho.
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to crack me up lol. Same as Aislinn, super sad to have missed the awards. I didn't really pay any mind to the death song and I'm interested to see if there was any symbolism there.
ReplyDeleteI still want to know what makes HAL worse than the other guys, who would have killed him if he hadn't protected himself. (We do see things from Dave's p.o.v., and that makes it easier to identify with him, at least.)
ReplyDeleteThe Swannies WERE lit! Such talent! We should publish an anthology or something.
I agree with everyone else here that the Swannies were great,and I hope that when we do something like that again we can have a repeat of them. It's also always fun to bring food to school.
ReplyDeleteHal was a big rude meanie for sure. Also I think the voting for the Swannies was rigged (sound familiar?)
ReplyDeleteThe death song wasn't so much as sad but extremely disturbing. Also did the have a backup computer? THat bothered me like I know he's kinda trying to kill you but do you know how to manually work a spaceship?
ReplyDeleteAlso, In the discussion yesterday you compared the "Frozen Journey" to college apps and I just want to say that is super accurate in a way esp with the essays. You're just writing and thinking about yourself for so long I feel like I have had the same emotional experience as Kemmings sometimes. There is so much self doubt in the application process.
