1984 Chapters 1-4

In the begining of this book we are introduced to a man named winston smith. He is 39 years old and a very skinny and frail man. He is the totalitarian political regime and he rules all of astrip 1. The city or whatever you want to call the neighborhood is getting ready for hate week( I cant remeber what that is but once I do I will clarify it). On the way home Winston points out four houses the ministry of peace ,the ministry of love, the ministry of truth and the ministry of plenty.
Here's what we find out about the ministers
Ministry of peace- deals with war
Ministry of love - deals with economic shortages
Ministry of truth- deals with i dont know what
Ministry of plenty- is the center for the parties activities

When he gets home he takes out a little diary that he had just brought and starts right ing in it. He gets a knock at the door and thinks its the police going to arrest him for writing in the diary. But lucky for him it was ms.parson a neighbor in his appartment building. Se talks about her "junior spy" children and how she was afraid of them, then she left. Later rhat night winston had a weird dream about his mother on a boat. He had allways felt responsible for his moms dissapearence. And in the fourth chapter he goes to work in the ministy of truth.
Things to discuss:
~The sign that says BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU. That is seriously creepy to know that something or someone is allways watching you.
~I think something is weird about winston smith. I dont know what it is but i will find out.
THATS IT FOR NOW!!!!!!

All I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea that John was going to kill him self. He was such a genuine character. But I had a feeling it was gonna happen. I have so many questions though, like what is the V.P.S? Or who was the girl that he saw. Because whoever it was that gave him no right to kill himself. Mond was full of BS the rest of the book he seemed like a robot with all of his "programmed" answers. Like about how he wanted to go to the island but didnt. All I know know is that this book is so good i want to read it a second time to understand it.

Chapter 19, 20, 21 and 22

This chapter was a little bland. Isadore knows that Pris, Roy, and Irmgard is dead and when rick comes out he confronts him. He then states that he wants to move to the city. Rick says that he could move to his apartment building. Of course he didn't want to, he was mad at him. He calls Bryant and tells him what happened. Then he went home and Iran looked scared, she tells him that someone rather a GIRL pushed or threw his goat off the roof. He knew it was Rachael.
He left that night and woke up thinking he was mercer, and thought he fused permanently with him. I think he just had a rough day, which he did. When he found out he didn't fuse with mercer he left and found a toad.
Iran told him once he came home that the toad was a machine. Who would have guessed that!!!!!!! He didn't care though which surprised me. Then he went to sleep and had coffee. In the morning Iran called for toad food and that's how the book ended. wow i didn't think the book would end like that.

Chapter 17 and 18

In chapter 17 Rick talks about the killing of the other androids. It is very interesting because everyone thinks he killed all of them. Also the question is will they ever have sex again? Even though we already know that wasn't Rachael's first time. He also threatens to kill her. He doesn't though. I wonder why. I think it could be because he is intimidated by her.

Now in chapter 18, we go back to isadore and the other androids. He starts helping pris move her stuff into his apartment. After all he did promise to shelter them. Also they find a spider,and pris hurts it. Dumb android, mercer "brings" it back to life. Then the unthinkable happens. We find out that he is not like god. He is a fake. Also buster freindly is an android but we knew that. What will happen next? I cant wait to find out.

Chapter 16

They did it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe it. RACHAEL and RICK did it that night. I just don't get it though. If he is human and she is and android then how could they?Also would that mean that Rick cheated on Iran? I think that Iran will find out and they will have a very interesting talk about it. Its a love triangle. I just don't get where they are going with this "relationship" though? Cant wait to find out.

Chapter 15

In this chapter rick and isadore are present. First it starts off with isadore talking with the last 3 androids about what they are going to do. Roy wants to kill Isadore and then hide somewhere else. The girls want to keep him around. Isadore says that he will protect them. Also he says that he will try to make their stay pleasent . AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then Rick looks to buy rabbits. But the salesperson persuades him to settle on a goat. Iran thinks its for her. But she latter finds out it is only for rick to "regain" his ego. Then he later talks to Rachael Rosen and tells her to come tonight at a sleazy hotel to do stuff. Something is bound to happen. Cant wait to find out.

Chapters 13 and 14

John Isadore is back!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In these chapters we are introduced to the two other androids, Roy and Irmgard. It was interesting to figure out who the last two were, thinking of the fact that in these chapters Pris announces herself as an android. Wait. Rewind. It all started when Isadore came to make her dinner. They started talking, and john asks if she had any friends. She said that she had 7 but the bounty hunters had gotten to work and they are all probably dead. Poor J.R didn't know what a bounty hunter was. she explained it and later said that is because they are all androids. She explained every thing. About their experience on mars, also how and why they left mars, finally they talk about all of their relationships as friends. I know I was confused after their talk was over, but I think Isadore might of understood her. ?Sweet Isadore, said that he would protect her. AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Predictions/Comments-
1. I feel that Malcolm's prediction is absolutely correct!!! One of the androids are going to betray or at least try to. There is no doubt about it.
2. Isadore and Deckard are bound to meet. I can feel it.

Chapter 12

In this chapter Deckard and Resch go to look for Luba, who is in the museum. When they find her, she is looking at Munch's Puberty. They talk and every time Resch says something Luba always comes back. See but the thing is that is the way Luba is . She is a diabolical android, which in my opinion is very hard to find. Luba tries to get into humans heads. Once she has then she tries to confuse them and get them to believe what she is saying. Only the dumb humans would go for that. But then again Rick almost fell for it in chapter 9.
Phil ends up retiring her while taking her to his car. R.I.P LUBA!!!!!! Then rick talks about the money and Resch tries to claim it. In that whole argument i believe that Resch was right. He killed Garland and Luft so he should have had the money. But then again rick was also because if he isn't human then he cant have the money for killing his own kind. But who is to say what is human?
So then Rick decides to give Resch a test to determine whether he is an android of not. He starts administering the test and he thought that Resch's answers were wrong . Then he started to test himself and found out that it was actually him that was inhuman not Resch. At the end he begins to wonder for the first time in his life if he was an android.
My Predictions:
1. Rick is an android. No doubt about it.
2. Resch will retire Deckard.

OK- The Paintings
1. Scream- I think it relates to humans because with the future we will always be surprised of the outcome. I don't think it relates to androids at all.
1. Puberty- I think Luba Luft was fond of this painting because she knew that men (human or possibly androids) were attracted to her. So when she looked at the painting she saw the innocence of the girl and admired it.(just a hunch)

Chapter 10 & 11

In Chapter 10 and 11 Crams takes Rick to the "new police station". He met Garland, head of police department and Resch, a bounty hunter. Turns to find out Garland is one of the Andys on Ricks list. Phil turns out to be like not only Rachael Rosen but like J.R Isadore. He is like Rosen because he doesn't know he is an android. He is like Isadore because he is like a chicken head. It is SOOOOOOOOO cute. We also know he has a pet squirrel.
In chapter 11 they continue that never ending convo about Phil and how much he loves his pet squirrel. Also somewhere in the chapters Resch retired Garland. GOOOOO RESCH!!!!!
My Predictions:
1. Resch will be retired after he finds out that he is an android, after Garland's retirement of course.
2. Deckard will turn out to be an android.

Chapter 9

In chapter 9, Rick searches for Luba Luft. He seems attracted to her. Which is really weird. I think that because when you think about it that would be like falling in love with your TV or Computer and that is totally WEIRD. Then he tells her who he is and starts questioning her. She is really quick in turning the table. She thinks he is just being very sexual.
Then Officer Crams come in. He scares me. I think he states that he is a Bounty Hunter. Which rick thinks that he is an android. I also became weirded to find out that there is a whole secret group of andys. To think of something like that happening without HUMANS finding out. That means that these andys are really smarter than the humans.
My Predictions:
1. Rick is going to fall for Luba Luft.(or vice versa)
2.The group of andys will start killing the humans of one by one.(like rick with the andys)

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 was a Rick Deckard chapter. He searches for Max Polokov, the andy that laser Dave. After he talked to Bryant, about him going to see Dave first. Which Bryant quickly unapproved. When looking for Max he goes to his job and finds out that he was not at work.
Goes back to work and gets a call for SEATTLE. When I read Seattle I thought of the Rosen Corporation. Guess who it was..... Rachael Rosen!!!! She asks him if she could accompany him while he is bounty hunting. He doesn't want her to because he is stubborn. Then Bryant says that he has to meet this guy named Mr. Kadalyi. When he talks to him Kadalyi gives so many hints saying that he was max until. Rick says "Your not Polokov your Kadalyi". You would think that he mixed his words. That is what I would like to think , but i think he could have been confused. They end up fighting and then rick retires him.(And note Max was the first Nexus-6 andy he has retired.)
One more thing we learn is that he had marriage problems with Iran. He said that they had thought about separation and that he could divorce her.
These are my predictions:
1. Bryant was behind The Polokov-Kadalyi fight
2. Iran and Rick are going to split.
3. Rachael will start accompanying Rick

Chapter 7

In this chapter john isadore first goes to work. Finally I have been wondering whether he really had a job. Mr.Sloat is so mean. He calls Isadore a chicken head. Which he has never done before. He also gives him jobs that he cannot do. It is like Mr sloat makes him do it for HIS enjoyment.(Like the Gods and humans).John isadore also picks up a sick cat and tries to take it to the vet. Poor cat, dies on the way there. He talks to the owner and tells his wife what had happend. The next thing that was buster freindly appears like if he is god. It is a shame that they feel that way. A tv-radio personale having so many followers is amazing.He also appears rich. In the rest of the chapter i was confused so it only comes to that point. Sorry>>>>>>>

I Robot

I love Sci-Fi Movies and when someone as sexy as will smith is in one u have to watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 6

In chapter six John Isadore, my fave character. He goes to his neighbors room in his vacant apartment. Of course he brings margerine so cute!!!! when She answers the door she attemps to smile. Weird ALLEEEEERRRTTTTTTTTT. Who attemps to smile.Then they talk and Isador becomes repetitive with his responses. Lets face it they are ment for each other. 1. They are both weird 2. they are complete foils( if you do not know what a foil is go back to 8th grade english) One thing that weirded me out was when Isadore stated that the Empathy Box was an extention to your body.That makes me wonder if humans are too dependent on machines. The rest is BLAHHHHHHH. Except for the end where the neighbor said her name was RACHAEL ROSEN but then after Isadore questions her she claims that her name is PRIS STRATTON. I think that "Ms. Stratton" or who ever she is is Rachael hiding. I dont know why but thats my hunch.

My Favorite Sci-fi movie 2001: Space Odyssey

Chapter 5

I was right!!!! My hunch was right!!! Rachael Rosen is an android!!!! Rick tests Rachael with the Voigt-Kampff Test. If you dont know, the Voigt-Kampff Test is a test to see if a human is actually human or not. When Rick was questioning here as a human she sounded resonable but as an android, she sounded so believable. To me Racheal felt like a human, but it was the way she answers questions and responces to comments that just felt too precise. Like it was to thought out and no humans think about a response that much.They just dont.If humans did then to me, this world would be rather parallel. The sad thing about Rick testing Rachael was that she had no idea that she was an android.Eldon, Rachael's "uncle" never told her. In fact, he lied at the begining and said she was a human because she grew up on a boat. But in the end he said that she was an android, that he never told her and that she was property of Rosen Corporation. WOW!!!!!!! If I was Rachael I would feel betrayed. Now i will leave you with one question If you were Rachael how would you react????????

My 5 questions

1. Are humans really androids? 2. In chapter 4, Rick and Bryant talks about a lot of Dave's thoughts. Why is that? 3. What is the point of migrating to mars? 4. Are the Rosens actually androids? 5.What is going to happen to John Isadore?

Chapter 4

In this chapter, Rick and Bryant have a long conversation. In it they talk about what happend to dave and they predict what will happen. Rick ends up going to Rosen Corp to learn more, to try to retire those Nexus-6 andys. There Rick meets Rachael Rosen, one of the co owners of Rosen Corp. She asks rick a lot of questions, which to me i now think she is a android that can portray a human very well.They start to talk about animals and then they get right on track about the andys.Then they meet Rachael's uncle Eldon. I feel like the Rosens are androids because of the way they handle things. Also I feel like they created the andys like in Frankenstine. So why retire it? Rick has no right in my opinion. But then I wonder if killing someone thats not human is murder. There is only one way to find out.........................................................

Chapters 2 and 3

This novel becomes more confusing and exciting in the second and third chapters. First we meet John Isadore, a special. In this story he is said to be a chicken head(also known as a special). Which I dont know why a special is called a chicken head. He's not married and he is alone in his apartment. Isadore can hear the emptiness in the other rooms. Which makes me wonder why there are no other people around. Then he uses his empathy box and goes on a painful yet "realistic" illusion. Which it seems like a weird illusion because at the end, he ends up bleeding. So does that mean that what seemed like an illusion was actually reality? Next Rick talks to Harry, the Police Inspector. He finds out that Dave was shot by a russian andy.Rick is happy that holden is in the hospital. He has been waiting for him to retire for a long time. I predict that holden will be killed and the andys will rebel and win!!!!

Chapter 1

We learn that the setting is San Francisco. It is very dusty and kind of in despare.The Rand Corp oration has been the major government-financed "think-tank" whose main job was imagining various nuclear war scenarios in order to justify the building of more and more powerful bombs and missiles.But the question i wonder is why is the rand corp still there when every one is evacuating from earth. The first dead animals to be noticed were owls. The owl seemed important in this novel and I dont know why just that animal. What is the symbolism of the owl, and why are they significant here? Dick here anticipates the "nuclear winter" theory in a striking way. The term "android" was invented by science fiction writers to denote an artificial human made mostly of organic parts, in distinction to a robot, made of purely mechanical parts .I did some research and the word android comes from the Greek word "andros" meaning "man" and the ending "oid," meaning "similar to." They are persuading the people left on earth with androids to migrate to mars on tv commercials.An android could be very useful and in this novel they seem useful but it looks like if most of the citizens on earth dont want or realy care for one, becuase if did they would migrate to mars.I think that is sick in a way because it shows that slavery is used and that is wrong. But it is smart also because it it gets the citizens to migrate. But also there is the fact that they are androids and not humans so in my opinion it wouldnt be called slavery. Sloat, is J. R. Isidore's boss but, it's also the name of a major street in San Francisco. Why does the "silence" have an impact on Isidore? Mercerism is based on the same principle as the kind of Catholicism illustrated by the Stabat Mater: emotional identification with the suffering of a martyr.
