Sci-fi prophets of the past predict a future we now explore.
By Walton R. Collins
Have you ever wonder how technology will look like in the future? People all around the world write science fiction stories to somehow trying to predict how the world would look like if technology keeps on increasing. The author Walton R. Collins wrote many sci-fi prophets of the past to predict out future, which we are living right now. He is also trying to predict out future in which most of our generation will be living. In all these short stories that I have read about, Walton R. Collin’s is trying to tell us that our future will be very different, there will be robots doing most of the work, human seems to be useless in the future. Well some part of our future, we might have a wonderful life after all. Technology might have the power to create skills for human beings which will make our lives easier. These days, we take an airplane to get from one place to another, mostly long distance places. Well in the future, we may not have to take an airplane to travel anymore. We can travel ourselves. We might have the power of teleportation. In the present day in which we are living right now, most people have flat panel t.v. with high definition. Well, it will be very different in the future, t.v. will be upgrade to a system in which it can actually listen to human suggestions, so that you can enjoy the whole movie without thinking negatively about it. Walton R. Collins is trying to tell us, if technology keeps on improving, then most likely, we don’t really have to do anything. He is telling us both good and bad things about our future. Our future depends on human to upgrade robots to act and think like human. When robot age is finally here, it will have the power to help us out daily everyday activites. It can protect us everywhere we go, robots and machines will be able to make our lives easier by doing most of the things for us. The author is also predict multiple future for us, someday we might be living in space, call “Cyberspace.” We might be able to live in space in our future lives, who knows, but it could happen. So mainly Walton R. Collins is doing is predicting how our lives will look like if technology is improving to the max.

I am Poem!!!!
Location…
Living in an active city..
Trying my hard to get from one place to another
Pushing and pulling people away from me
Hearing the rumble of cars and conversations of people
Trains roaring from tunnel to tunnel
Distractions are on my way…
Blocking my entrance
I am Sam, but you can call me Supersam
I am me who is trying to locate my target
Running from street to street trying to find a way out!
If you anger me, you will be stuck with me
I am someone with anger stronger than earth!
I am someone that you do not want to argue with!
Help me get out of this crowd, so peace can arrive to me
Waiting for you to come to me…
Trying my hard to test my patient
Will I make it, or will I just blow off before I can get to my destination?
When time is here, I shall make my decision!
Now I must compress myself to go through the crowds, until I reach my destination!
Must go now!
My destiny is counting on me
Traveling at the speed of light…
Bumping objects that are blocking my path
Without even looking at where I am going..
Am I lost or am I here?
Yes I am here,
I see the Statue of Liberty!!!
Thank god I’m here!

The Streak #8
The end of the story was kind of a little too much of movements. Spoon was in Channele's apartment, and they were both kissing and hugging and loving each other. They both seems to have a wonderful time together. Spoon asked Channele to take a shower with him, but she said not. Gabi's mother is really sick and at the end she died. Ever since her mom died, Gabi didn't show up, no one knows where she went. All Spoon knows is, she is in drugs and she might be in a place where drug people are. Spoon then seems to get worry about Gabi, so he did whatever he can do to find her. He went to all the places that he was with Gabi before. At the end, he found Gabi laying down, she was in drug. He got her home and she felt better. The drugs made her feel no good. Later, Spoon got to go back to the Wallingford Academy, Gabi will miss and Spoon will miss her, but Gabi let him go. She wanted Spoon to graduate high school and then move on to college. Thats what Spoon did, he left Gabi and they both will sure miss each other. When Spoon graduated high school, he went back to Harlem to see Gabi, she is going to a good college too, but no scholarship. They were very happy to see each other again.
At the end of the story, they both were really happy to see each other again, their feelings seems to be tighten again. Rafe was not doing so good, he is on drugs. Gabi is going to a good college and she also is working too. I felt that Spoon and Gabi encountered so many difficult obstacles in their way, and they manage to overcome it. Spoon did a lot of work to help and save Gabi. Spoon did not gave up, even if it seems impossible to be solve.

The Labryinth
Have you ever heard of The Labyrinth before in your life before? A labyrinth is like a structure of unknown path, it can be a dead end or a live path. Just like Gabi Spoon in The Labyrinth. Gabi seems to be trap like wherever she goes, it seems like her problems are unable to be solve. She doesn’t really like her life a lot, be cause of all the stuff that just happened. She always feels low about herself and don’t know what to do. Fot this reason she seems to be havign a difficulty path that she is walking on or it might be a dead end to her path.
For Spoon, after enjoying his school year away from Harlem. When he got back, everything seems to be different. He seems to have an unstable road going on in his neat path. In WallingFord Academy, he was enjoying his time, it is like his path that he is walking on is very comfortable without any conflicts blocking his path Ever since he traveled back to Harlem during a vacation trip, everything changed There are so much things that is going on, it is like so much walls blocking his way and he don’t seem to have a clue on which other path he should take in order for his path to be smooth . Gabi is like one of the … that is creating many conflicts, and Spoon seems to be able to solve some of her conflicts, but not all. He is sad because he don’t really know what to do to help her out, and Gabi don’t like herself because he life seems miserable. So they both seems to be in a path where they are still making a choice on how to resolve Gabi’s problem. Till then in order for them to get to the target, they must take the right path that will lead them to success. If that happens, their conflicts will be solve, less feeling sads, more happiness, etc. Then this will show that they made the right descision and they are walking to the correct path and will be near their target.
I feel that if they know how to face their conflicts and resolve them, everything will be fine. They will have a happy ending. This will show that they know whatto do and is walking in the correct path

Black Clouds
Running down the street
Worrying about something
Get Out Of My Head
Feeling pain from night to day and day to night
Never letting me go
Please help me out
Wherever I go, traps are there for me
Disasters coming up on my way and boxing me
Nowhere to go, no time to waste
Always spying at me
Wanting me to suffer, feeling hopeless
WAtching and waiting for me to give up
Game Over

Never Mind, A Twin Novel
Have you ever seen a twin before in your life time? Usually a twin acts almost the same way as each otehr. After reading A Twin Novel, I guessed it sort of changed the way I am thinking. Edward who is older than Med for a few hours. They both act very differently. Edward is a boy and Meg is a girl. Edward usually make up stuff, to make it more interesting, but atthe end he gets low grades. Meg tells the real stuff that sounds boring to Edward, but gets very high grade compare to Edward. Meg usually work a lot, not a lot of gaming. Edward always into games and not so much into work, so he usually get low grades. When their parents decided that since you two have 2 different stlyes, he suggests you two should be in a school that best fits you. Meg got into a school with lots of learning, sports that she likes. Edward got into a school with not a lot of learning, mustly are activities.
I thought that all twins should act very similar even if 1 of them is a boy and one of them is a girl. this is weird. Even if you are born a few hours later, I am sure that there is a difference, but not like 2 different personalities. Improvements for Edward,"Edward, if you are goin to make up something up, just dont make up so obviously like everyone will know that you made it up." MEg always tries to show off, tryign to get his older brother upset. Meg always do stuff to get Edwad jealous about her. WHen this happens war starts. Will Meg and Edward get any better, or will they keep on challenging each otehr to see who is better.

Big Joe's Funeral
After readign this short story, I felt like Joe is so foolish, it is like he is playing and joking around with his life. He got his inserance and pretend to be dead. He used the money that he recieved and decorate a funeral home for himself. He pretend to be dead, and people all around the neighborhood were very sad that he is dead. On the day of his funeral, people were very sad that he died. After a while, he reveals himself and that he was just playing around. Then they had a party.
I felt that he is playing too much, he don't seem to be respectign his life. If you are in a funeral, it means that you have past away, it is a very sad situation. I don't think it is good play a game like this.
