Robots the only things alive? No, in the book Robopocalypse  by Daniel H. Wilson, robots have taken over the whole world. Some humans remain nu not for long when it hits zero hour all robots turn against you and will annihilate the entire human race. All throughout the world scatters of groups remains. They have to have an uprising and make an effort to fight against the robots. These last few groups must survive and overcome the uprising before zero hour.

If  there is no trust no hope what chance of survival do we have. Every chapter there is a new story a new character. Every chapter it focuses on a  new topic with that character and there input on what is going on around them. All the characters in the book all have similarities with one another which  makes them a saviour. These characters became heroes because they gained hope and trust with other survivors. Zach one of the refugees of the robot camps runs away from the camp and he becomes friends with this boy Cormack and they go on this adventure throughout the book and they later become the "bright boy squad"

All these survivors became heroes because they all made sacrifices that were matters of live and death. These sacrifices these people made these people heroes for what they did and there outcome of there events. These sacrifices were made to save others and put there life on the line for a other persons safety. One of the characters from the book Luke sacrifices his life to save a bunch of poor sheep's and he did. This shows the type of sacrifices that were made.

In conclusion this book was a very intreging and very interesting. When i would read this book i would visualize the content that i was reading and it had this modern feeling to it and it was nice. Daniel Wilson did an incredible job envisioning the future throgh literture and it had a very nice essesnce to it and it had a very nice flow.

In the article "The Natural" by Mike Tierney.The article talks about Zach Hodskins a boy who was born without a left hand and a forearm. Zach Hodskins, a 6'4 beast at basketball  and a student at the University of Florida  doesn't let his disability bring him down. Instead he harnesses his disability and plays basketball. Mike Tierney does an interview with Zach Hodskins and he states that he plays basketball not just because he loves the sport and he enjoys playing it, he wants to prove that he is just as good as everyone else that plays basketball. Zach also states that he wants to help everyone with disabilities around the world.

Zach faced many challenges when he played basketball. He was always determined to play better and he would practice non-stop just to be good.  He wanted to prove his strength and he just wanted to get better.With the help of all his coaches Zach had worked a lot to build up strength  he needed. With a lot of help and lots of training Zach had become a 6'4 beast with incredible passing skills and he had amazing ability to sink shots in from an where. Zachs dad states that he is not treated differently at  home and outside. They don't let his disability get in the way of there family.

Zach is a very confident and determined kid. A scouting service uploaded a clip of  Zachs highlights on YouTube and it went viral with more than 4 million views.  After many people viewed the video  they were inspired by him and seeked  advice from him and so they contacted him. Zach gladly helped all the people. Zach gave them the confidence they needed he help them embrace there disability and made them happy about it.

In conclusion this article was really inspiring to me. Zach is an amazing kid that proves that having a disability is not something you have to hide. Zach does a very good job proving it through his basketball skills and how he is so successful.
