Post 4

So Gilda Stories is finally finished. Defiantly a change that I didn't expect to see. Between the changing for two people for her, and the ruined earth it was pretty intense. I thought it was interesting to see Gomez's take on the end of the world in 2050. It defiantly wasn't something that I would have predicted to happen within the world. Although, the discovery of the vampires and with the changes made  where people are searching for vampires so that they can fight this disease that is going around killing their kind is interesting, just as the fact that there are studies saying that Mars might be suitable for living and then there are offworlders/ off earthlings I forgot there name, that are leaving earth and moving to other plants. Its crazy how the predicitons she made just based on the information she found out when writing this book is oddly the beginning topics of the modern day discussion, well besides video chatting.
I also thought it was a ending I could kind of see coming. The family coming together, like the brother the sister, the lover, the creator. Its cool how they end up all wanting to live together as one as the world is starting to become a place suitable for them only.
As for the book, I liked some parts, other parts were to dry, or to detailed oriented to a point in which I didn't or couldn't want to keep reading. It was interesting though that the tale would essentially keep us hanging, with Gilda knowing she is going to stop running. Probably the first and last chapters were my favorite. Their making of the tale is something that i enjoyed. And as prestated i think its cool that each chapter was like a short story in its own. And that although separately they could hold their place, together this piece by piece tale of her life is coming together.

Nadia Post .... end of Gilda Stories!
