Week Thirteen: Aquatic Uncle

On my previous blog post I discussed how people can learn from science fiction, with this piece of literature I strongly believe that. Aquatic uncle is a fun and interesting take on describing evolution. It starts with describing characters as tadpoles and fish and then you see them grow into land creatures. I don’t know I personally found this piece to be very interesting because In a way it was actually educational but fictional at the same time and I feel like you wouldn’t really get that out of any other genre.

With science fiction its been hard for me to really relate to the subject because I don’t know much about it and it’s been hard to find a piece I really enjoy. Overall what I’ve learned with science fiction is that there are some very original amazing pieces that blow your mind and you feel like you’re living out your dreams as a kid, some pieces are very educational and bring up a lot of environmental issues that people should be talking about, and then finally there are some pieces that are just very disturbing and gross and are not my kind of reading. This is why I really appreciate the short story of Aquatic Uncle because it was fictional, it was cute and made you feel towards the characters, and it was very educational in how it depicted the process of evolution.
