Doing the Guide to Adulting has made me recall a lot of the information we have learned this year and apply it to my own experiences. And seeing others' guides is an interesting way to see the uniqueness of emerging adulthood. #fys03xu

Sam styled her website very well. I really like how you can click on the corresponding tab above the photos that it is for with the pictures. #fys03xu

Max divides his information into what level it applied to, and I really liked how he split it up. #fys03xu

@maddiepaul34 I thought it represented really well. I liked the wrinkles from regular sci-fi, and I think now I will explore Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism more.

@jaydennowlin1 I think I will read more of the genre now. As this book was fast paced, I did still love the book.

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

I want to explore this genre more now after reading Binti. The change of pace, from average Sci-Fi was exciting to read about. And it was very enlightening to hear a story from an author from a different culture than my own. #fys03xu

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

I am sad that Binti is over, it went by really fast. The complete opposite of Fan Girl which was the slowest of slow burns. So Binti was a nice change of pace. #fys03xu

@cpvorisek I think the twists and turns in the novel are exciting. I also think some of the stuff in this book is very enthralling. Like the treeing, I can't really wrap my head around.

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

@farfsings2 I think Nnedi's descriptions make the book even more enjoyable. They are so in-depth, and her imagination and creativity is second to none.

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

I think obviously Binti was going to be something that we haven't read before in school, from that exercise we did in class talking about the books we read in school before. And most had white authors and white main characters. But I have been enthralled by Binti. #fys03xu

@MeganLa28764303 If the book is anything like Pumzi, I am really excited. Because the short film kept me on the edge of my seat.

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

@cpvorisek The most exciting thing that stood out to me from the TEDTalk was how she connected her Nigerian heritage to her stories.

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

The TedTalk was very interesting, and I'm excited to read Binti after hearing her speak. And how she incorporates her Nigerian heritage into her writing. #fys03xu

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

Pumzi was something I was very excited about. It was a class assignment; I don't know if I would have watched it without it being assigned. but very grateful it was. #fys03xu

@carleyryan45 I think the ups and downs are very prevalent in life, especially in literature; when the characters have the same experiences, you feel the ups and downs more as a reader.

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

@YungerAlex Very accurate; when people don't look at what is going on, we make assumptions. I think there are many assumptions about Africa.

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

I think people are not curious about the continent of Africa. As she said, people make judgments and do not seek and see what is going on in the continent and how the continent actually is. #fys03xu

[Jonny Mennell @MennellJonny]

It must be tough for someone to read books and the characters that do not look like you and you can not relate to physically. #fys03xu
