Blogpost 14: Dune

 It seems like the Atriedes's aren't very relatable to. All the characters you root for are are very tamed and don't really have much of my sympathy. Like I said in one of my other blog posts, If I feel like a certain don't need my sympathy and is doing okay way before I came along then I'm not gonna care that much unless the characters are interesting and different. Except for characters like Halleck and Hawat who are both super badass though you don't see them much. The main character Paul still has this shroud of mystery to him that really should have been taken off by now. I heard this book starts of a bit slow but at the same time I heard that this was one of the best science fiction books ever made so I guess I may have too high of expectations for this book. My favorite character that isn't really spoken much about in depth is without a doubt Hawat. He seems like a mixture of Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars and Ned Stark from Game of Thrones.

As I continue reading I find myself wanting to know more about The Duke Leto. the book doesn't show you much in his percpective so far but everyone seems to be mad at him for his political descisions and playing right into the Harkkenons's hands. But it's wierd becuase when you do get his percpective, he knows exactly what he's doing and he seems to mean well. It's like when people this guy is an awful person, and when you finally meet them, they aren't as bad as people make them out to be.  The Duke seems like he knows what he's doing, but the cool thing is that you never really know what he is thinking or what his  intentions are with the planet Arrakis, but you know just enough about his connection with his son and the bi-polar like relationship with his Lady to see that he's not a bad guy. His son does'nt think he's a bad guy either . What little contact he has with father is almost a loving serious tone. Leto tries to teach Paul about the responsibilities of being heir. there's a feeling of impending doom as I read more of the book. I think that something bad is going to happen to the Atriedes's that's going to cripple their House and there going to have to confront the Harkonnenons and the Imperial House.

blogpost #12: Dune

  SPOILERS

  Dune is a sci fi book  which i would describe as Star Wars meets Game of Thrones. The main character is Paul, heir to the House (royal family) Atriedes. His whole life he has lived on Caladan, but something I've noticed is that  he never had any friends or had any contact with anybody besides his family, teachers and trainers. Now, after years of losing the support of the planet, the people of Caladan don't want them there anymore, So the Emperor( who basically controls all the Houses) decided to give the Atreides's the planet Arrakis or Dune. Dune is a HORRIBLE planet. Two big suns, constant sandstorms, almost no water, I mean there is so little water that the people living on the planet haave to wear these moisture capturing suit becuase they cannot afford to shed a tear or they will die. This planet would be seriously undesirable if it didn't have an overflowing amount of the galaxies most important resource. an addictive spice called melange. As far as I know the only purpose of melange is to feed people's addiction.

Review of Daniel's Post Scorpia

 everyone knows why I'm reviewing someone else's post.In Daniel's post, he writes very fluently, it doesn't feel chopped up or anything like that. It's short but to the point and it doesn't drag on and on.Also, its not a retelling of the story either, though their is retelling in the story, it isn't redundant.alot of the other blogposts were five paragraphs long and mostly description and retelling or a paragraph long and all description and retelling.
 Its also cool how he writes about how the character was before an event and how he was after the event. The blog is mostly focused around the character which i like. it shows how the character is developing. Its also really cool how the blog is summarized. It doesn't feel like it just suddennly ends. The end sentence is actually an ending to a post. Its ended with his his overall opinion on what has happened to the character.
 Its not the perfect blog post,but thats why i think its well done. It's very well pieced together and easy to understand. It doesn't feel repetitive or dull. It's short but makes great points as it goes along. His spelling and punctuation seems tobe good. I don't think that the shortness of the post hurts it, I think it help it in a way. It keeps it from being really disjointed in some sections and too descriptive as you read along.
