Science FictionEssay Preview: Science FictionReport this essayScience fiction has become an ever more popular subject for writers and readers to enjoy and find comfort in. The stories filled with trolls and lords of the underworld bring readers into the mythical world where they can lose themselves and become the hero or villain they are reading about. These writings, without the backstory, are seemingly impossible to read and stay interested throughout the story. Science fiction is, in my opinion, the hardest literature to read or speak literally about.
Deciphering the context used throughout science fiction sometimes baffles my comprehension of the English language. In the article DRAGONS EGG in the December 5th 2011 New Yorker the use of fictional names such as: Wormtongue, Eowyn, Rohan, Gollum, and Galbortorix displaces my interest as I do not know anyone with these names which makes them unrealistic and uninteresting to me. If these names were more common such as David or Peyton I could try to relate the characters to everyday people which I interact and try to find similarities in them. This, in turn, would ultimately create a vested interest in the story which I could begin to create a feeling of understanding in the writings.
The settings of the storylines are so farfetched they are, most of the time, beyond comprehension. The thought of having two internets one with billions of people partaking and one with only around two hundred or so people in tears my comprehension of the know to the point I write it off as being worthless reading with no educational content (MY INTERNET) A distant planet with women getting men fat just so they can lay their eggs on the men to feed on their fat nutrient rich bodies is, to me, ridiculous as the only mammal to lay eggs is the platypus and they are not parasitic. (SPIDER WOMEN) To quote C.S. Lewis in the article ON SCIENCE FICTION “Even if it is a vise to read science fiction, those who cannot understand the very temptation to that vise will not be likely to tell us anything of value about it.” This sums it up, it is very difficult for me to follow and understand the complex false worlds created by the writers of science fiction.
Story lines and characters throughout science fiction are not only the things that denture my interest, its the science fiction culture that steers me clear of diving into becoming interested in goblins and wizards. My family, comprised of blue collared hard working members of society, was focused on real issues of everyday life and how to overcome them. If a book was to be read it was for informational purposes on how to fix a problem which brought enjoyment rather than wasting time reading something of “no value” that couldnt help us out. Still to this day if I read something it is to educate myself on something that may someday be helpful to me or my family and this brings me enjoyment. I believe that I am not alone as everyone I work with shares the same feelings
Consequently, when it comes to science fiction, I can’t help but be drawn to the variety the authors play with whilst working on their stories. With the proliferation of a variety of genre in sci fiction, there are no boundaries either. It’s all about the way they work and the fact that there is always something unique about the characters. It’s no surprise that when one is approached for work within a sci fi world, they will usually come to the conclusion that the book is for that aspect and that, as such, is often a strong part of that experience. The idea of the science fiction genre of writing is a broad range of genres and I am not to blame for not seeing that. The characters as a whole are well placed in their roles and with each story they have a unique story. On the other hand, their lives can often be changed from where they were at any point to what they are now. While the characters are great, the process of development is often a lot slower than it should. After the events of a series and the characters are written their life experiences become a lot more fluid and can change quickly as well. The first thing I would mention is that it is a great idea to give yourself time to grow and build your friendships, to not take yourself too seriously and to stay involved in the development of your characters. The writer’s world has a fantastic deal of time and energy left. The writer usually has to spend about six hours in any given year waiting to see where the story ends; this amount tends to happen as time passes and your relationships become increasingly entangled and over time become more strained. While this is certainly possible and I am not trying to make this up, I do think that this process does help with that process. I found that I have so much invested in my characters and that there can be no one who would not come close to taking a day of their lives on top of their work. I also found that I could trust the writers and be able to feel secure and even trust that these characters could ultimately work and live with love. This means that I am not trying to say that every single character of a genre will be great; just that I am not going to give advice on when to trust the best, and I wouldn’t try to give advice on how to follow suit from my own heart. The main topic is the art of writing and art goes hand in hand with story. The concept of the art in fiction can sometimes be quite esoteric (in some cases, such work as this that takes place prior to the publication of a book can also be very difficult to understand) because it is such a different experience that readers who read a certain work (usually the original source) are left with something that can potentially go horribly wrong. A few examples of work that I believe are the primary culprit in the process for me to write a story of myself and others is the characterisation of the character as one of the main heroes. There are also many books that have gone through these process changes and I know that many of their characters were affected
