The story that I am going to blog about is the story "The Shadow of the Mothership". This story was another very strange story. I really do not enjoy books that have to do with aliens and things or the nature.
I did not really understand why they made all of the buildings out of foam. It just does not make sense when they are supposed to be in the future you would think that they could come up with a better building material then foam. I mean they can fly away if someone really wants them to.
I also don't understand why he did not go with his parents when they went on the mothership. Maybe he did not want to go because I do not think that his parents would just leave him there especially if is dad is supposed to be this great guy with great ideas.
Another thing that I did not really enjoy about this book is we never found out what really happened to Daisy Duke and Tony the Tiger. They just end up as what sounds like a hooker and a begger. The story would have been better if the author would have talked about that.
I did like the ending because at first I was disappointed that he was giving in to his dad but it turned out that he never really was.

Yeah I agree I don’t really understand the whole buildings out of foam thing. I really think it was just to add to the oddness of the story. I mean I am sure the author was just looking for a way to make the story futuristic. You couldn’t just have regular old buildings; they have to have something really strange about them. That’s what makes this book a science fiction because a lot of it doesn’t make sense. I think they might have been made of foam because the author is showing us it is easier to make buildings now. I was also a bit disgruntled with leaving the characters Tony the Tiger and Daisy Duke with open ends. I guess it just frustrated me that I didn’t know what really happened to them. What a great ending though. Pretty good chapter I must say.
