Title: Oryx and Crake
Description: A book that is not often talked about when it comes to important authors in female writing. One can simply think that this is a Sc-Fi novel, or perhaps there are themes so deep that maybe Atwood had a lot more that one needs to take a closer look at? Regardless, Atwood isn't to be ignored when it comes to her work and what she contributed to the world of fiction. This may be a strange book, but there is a lot to learn from it.

Week 7 Oryx and Crake Journal
This book was probably one of the more different readings we’ve read over the course of
the last couple weeks
...
SciFi is always as interesting concept to me, and when it is done is such
a way that is still relevant to the modern world, it’s really fascinating to me
...
I feel like she would have been one of the first
women at her time that wasn’t specifically writing for a romancetype novel, but something that
could easily be comparable to other important SciFi genres of the time
...
Getting more detailed with the content, I was again really taken aback in her characters
and the setting
...
Additionally, that she didn’t use a pen name, like a lot of female writers still
do at the time to be taken as seriously, like J
...
Rowling did
...
Her writing
style, and just the way that she created a world that was so different but was still so similar to
ours was very refreshing to read about
...
She made situations realistic and interesting, in a
way that I could read into and capture my attention
...
Especially the
“codenames” between the best friends
...
Especially, when Crake goes a little crazy and ends up making these
humanoids that get a little out of hand
...
Even when all these difficult trials
happened between him and Crake, Jimmy was still loyal to his friend in maintaining his friend's
“creation” because he seemed to have played upon the discovery of this creation just as much
as his friend Crake
...
Despite the demise of his friend, he probably feels a little guilty in not
treating Crake as well as he did, and didn’t really notice how much Crake had gotten involved in
the creation of these humanoids
...
They seem to me
like a lesser intelligent species of human
...
It just wouldn’t work because we are so much more evolved from
that
...
I feel like these humans he comes across could
be beneficial to him, and who knows it could be someone he actually knows (like Crake?
...
Kind of like when a season finale of a TV
show ends, the premiere of the next one might not be as satisfactory
...
