I read "Where are you going, where have you been?", "The Sentinel", and "Supertoys Last All Summer Long." My favorite story by far was"Where are you going, where have you been" because it was continously building up to the climax and toward the end i was frantically reading so i could finally figure out what actually happens. This was the only story I read that I could see myself being able to adapt into a film because it was so dialogue heavy and the setting was so simple. I loved how it feels like the dialogue takes you through a journey while the main character struggles through her internal conflict and all the while she physically stays in the same spot. It would be extremely difficult to replicate that emotional intensity in a film becuase you can't get inside a character's head on screen unless you have a narration voice over and even that might not have the same effect. I really liked "Supertoys last all summer long" because it was emotional as well. I had no idea what the mom's problem was because she didn't seem to love her son as much as she wanted to so I was extremely confused until the end when it reveals that the boy is basically a robot. All this story did was make me hope people never get smart enough to make human robots with emotions. It also made me realize that sci fi can be really interesting becuase it takes the world we know and spins it, but I realized it's just not for me. The story i liked the least was "The Sentinel" because I found it to be cold. Maybe it's just because I'm a girl, but I have to have human emotion somewhere in a story in order to actually get hooked and feel compassionate for one reason or another, but I didn't get any of that. It was a new twist on the idea of extraterrestrial life and it was definatly unique in how it goes about building up to that idea. I mostly just thought this story was extremely lame and have no interest in making a film about it probably because i feel like this whole alien life form thing is overdone as it is. The only thrill you get out of reading something like this is that feeling that you're so small and the possibility that our ignornat view on being the best species could burst our bubble with another higher life form out there. I didn't didn't this reading assigment would get me thinking about how to adapt the stories into film but somewhere along the way it did get me thinking.
