Transcript: Sci-Fi Novel By: Summer Andrews Lucinda "Luce" is who the story is centered around. She is attending Sword and Cross School because her boyfriend mysteriously died in a fire. While she's there, she meets a girl named Arraine, who shows her around and helps her fit in. Daniel is another student and Sword and Cross who despises Luce from the day she arrives. He avoids her at all costs. However, as time goes on Daniel begins to fall for Luce and in the midst of this, supernatural things begin to happen to the two of them. For instance, Luce soon realizes that Daniel is immortal because the love is "cursed". Cam is another student at Sword and Cross. From day one he tried his hardest to get Luce to go out with him. He gets more and more aggressive once Daniel comes into the picture, which seems to be more than Luce can handle. This story is set in Savannah, Georgia at Sword and Cross School. Sword and Cross is a school for juevenile deliquents who are finishing high school. In the beginning of the book, it starts out in the 1700's. It tells a story of a boy and girl leaving each other, Their names are Lucinda and Daniel. It then jumps to a girl named Luce saying goodbye to her family. She is on her way to a school named Sword and Cross. This is a school for young criminals, and Luce is here because her boyfriend mysteriously died in a fire which she was blamed for. Here she is forced to wear all black clothing with no contact with anybody outside of the school. Along the way, she is given a mentor named Arraine. She shows her around, and she meets some of her classmates. One that really stands out is Cam. He tries to woo Luce, but it just doesnt work, She fell for Daniel. Although he despises her, whenever they talk he slips up about what she "used to do". This makes her even more intrigued. While studying, a fire breaks out in the library. Luce and one of her classmates are stuck in there. As they try to escape, her classmate dies in the fire. This sparks a fight between Cam and Daniel when she is saved by Daniel and she wants nothing to do with Cam. As the battle begins, she learns that things weren't what they seemed to be. One of the fantastic details in this book is the fact that Daniel and Cam can fly. This is fantastic because in reality, nothing like this could happen. It becomes obvious these characters can fly in the resolution. Publication Year- 2009 Savannah,Georgia Author- Lauren Kate Title- Fallen (cc) photo by Metro Centric on Flickr Element 2: Also in this book, a warning for man-kind would be to expect the unexpected. This is shown because if Luce wouldn't have been suspicious about Cam, she might have believed to good guy act he was trying to pull off. This occurs in the rising action. Setting Element 3: Element 1: Science Fiction Elements During the book, Luce learns that Daniel will live forever, as Luce lives, dies and is reborn. The book is grounded in science because it deals with immortality. This is found in the climax. Element 4: Plot (cc) photo by Metro Centric on Flickr Another fantastic detail is the super-human strength the librarian, Miss Sophia, has when she carries Luce and another classmate to a hidden room for "safety" while Cam and Daniel battle it out for Luce.

Transcript: Presented by Emma, Ella, Lilah and Parmida Speculative fiction presentation Speculative fiction means a story that is similar to our world, but has different rules It allows us to imagine the future we want, and consider ways to work towards it. In the past speculative fiction has warned us about impending futures that we are currently living in all over the world. What is speculative fiction and how can it warn us about the future? Intro Avatar Avatar -Lilah James Cameron's fictional sci-fi film Avatar can be used to warn the readers of the dire effects Corporate Greed and racism can impact on a society. It illuminates man kinds history and forces us to enact meaningful change in our lives to create a better future. Here's the trailer Trailer Science fiction is a bridge between the possible and impossible Addresses serious issues it can provide a model for a new world. How can speculative fiction warn its readers about the future in creative and imaginative ways? Question Earths environmental decline The possible and the impossible Relationships the greed of multinational corporations James Cameron represents the native people as Native Americans The American Indian wars Past racism Anagram The film is nearly 60% computer generated allows the audience to experience and alternate reality with this reality it can warn viewers How technology makes it real technology Avatar is used as a powerful forum for the negotiation and understanding of ideas, including those about history, the environment, and politics. "One of my central approaches to writing speculative fiction is to take an absurd situation, which we presently feel is normal, and then push it to an even further absurdity. It's only in this light that we can see the reflection of the disturbing state of our present-day affairs." -Alexander Weinstein Conclusion Divergent Divergent - Parmida Set in a futuristic dystopian chicago. The ancestors believed that it was the fault of human personality that cause war Society was divided into 5 factions based on their virtues and what they believed the cause of a dysfunctional society was. The Factions The 5 Factions " Those who blamed aggression formed Amity, Those who blamed ignorance became the Erudite. Those who blamed duplicity created Candor. Those who blamed selfishness made Abnegation and those who blamed cowardice were the Dauntless. " -Marcus Eaton, Abnegation Leader Formed as a 'solution' for a warring nation Later proves to be that cause of a dysfunctional society Shows that humans work better and understand each others needs when they are together and not separated by their beliefs "I am not Abnegation I am not Dauntless I'm Divergent and I cant be controlled" -Tris Prior Identity Ideas and warnings Warns us about peoples expectations ...in Divergent defines who you are and how you should be treated Faction over Blood "A lust for power leads men into dark and empty places" -Andrew Prior Lust for Power Power Warn audiences of the dangers of greed Relates back to real world events There is a constant struggle over people's powers and the fate of mankind In Conclusion Our own world Diveregnt shows that seperating people based on their virtues can have harmful effects and doesn't nescessarily result in a peaceful society it makes the society weaker, it is together that they can be strong About the book Uglies- Ella Uglies is the first book in the series written by Scott Westerfeld, followed by Pretties, Specials and Extras Introduction introduction uglies is set in a world where children are named "Uglies" until they turn sixteen and have extreme plastic surgery performed on them to make them "Pretties", which is the title of the second book in the Uglies series. The audience thinks about how their own life relates to some parts of the book. Audience Audience “Your personality - the real you inside - was the price of beauty.” - Scott Westerfeld, Uglies 17.5 million cosmetic procedures were performed in America in 2017. "what we do, the way we think, makes us beautiful." -Scott Westerfeld, Uglies how Uglies relates to our world Uglies in relation to our world How can speculative fiction provide a warning about the future in meaningful and imaginative ways? The author is trying to tell the audience that plastic surgery is common today, and use of it is growing, so they could end up in a world similar to the one in Uglies sometime in the future. While Uglies is mostly fictional and generally exaggerated, it still opens people's eyes to possibilities. The main question: The main question Uglies is a great example of a text that warns its audience of the dangers of the future, using fiction to emphasise this. Although most parts of the book won't ever really happen, the audience finds a way to relate to certain parts, and the fictional element emphasises the danger. Conclusion Conclusion The hunger games Hunger Games - Emma ‘The movie is based upon a dystopian future, where a corrupted government called ‘The
