Klara and the Sun

 Hi, I'm not dead!

We have been reading Klara and The Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro in English. We just finished it and here are some things we have to do. 

1. Read the Guardians article (This one)

2. Read the New York Times article (That didn't work, so no link sorry) 

3. Locate 3-5 new vocabulary words in the articles and define them.
- I don't like these tasks as I already have a large vocabulary and very rarely come across a word I don't know. And if I don't I can work it out by the context clues around the word. That being said. have some interesting words and their definitions. 

        -ludicrous: so foolish, unreasonable, or out of place as to be amusing.
        -scientism: thought or expression regarded as characteristic of scientists.
        - beguiling: charming or enchanting, often in a deceptive way.

4. According to the articles, what important themes/ideas do 'Klara and the Sun' raise? Answer in complete sentences, with accompanying explanations as necessary (think of who your audience is)
    -Honestly, I have no idea. I have read the article multiple times and don't know. I know we are looking at what it means to be human/have personhood, and that's kinda the theme, but apart from that, I don't know. 

        -Class ideas 

                - Identity - who are you really? 

                - Faith - Praise to a deity (The Sun) 

                - Loneliness - Lockdown

                - Mortality - you will die

                - Relationships 

                - Discrimination - rich vs poor - Haves vs Have-not - "Lifted vs Not Lifted" 

                - Ethics

                - Enviroment - "Big bad guy" = Polution 

                - AI - Replacing us

                - Personhood

5. Locate another article about Klara and the Sun and record something new that you learned after reading it. Link the article in your post.

        - Didn't have time to do this one sorry. 

Reflection section - Dimension soulmates - By Michcamnz

 It's Friday again and so another reflection section! Yay! anyway, let's get onto it

Title: Dimension Soulmates Story
Author: Michcamnz
Purpose: To entertain
Blurb: Katherin Drawn is a normal girl. Well, that is if you count mysterious writing appearing on your skin at random times, and saying random things. When Katherin finally writes back, her whole life gets flipped upside down, as cliche as that sounds.

Who would read this and why?
Harry Potter fans who like the ink on skin soulmate trope, because that is what it is about. And also it's interesting.

Reflection section - Rebirth by Michi on Webtoon

In Wanaga we are doing another reflection section. I know I technically just posted one, but that was last weeks. Whoops. Here is this weeks    

Text title: Rebirth Story

Text type: Graphic novel 

Text creator: Michi

Text purpose: To entertain  

Date: 26th February, 2021

How are children, teenagers, young adults, and adults constructed in this text?

The children are ignored by the adults and not taken seriously, while the adults are trying to take control, even only one of them knows whats going on. And one of the children properly also knows what's going on, but i'm not sure.
