The Stars my Destination is a book that I think was a bit different from what I have read previously. For one, the main character, Foyle, isn't much of a hero at the beginning. He's actually just kind of mean and does whatever he wants, though he has a reason. I think that his character really describes how hell-bent someone can get on getting revenge. I think the way he speaks also is a trait that you usually don't find in a main character, cause he's not very intelligent, though he has power over people once he puts his mind to it.
The jaunting aspect of the novel was a bit confusing at first but I caught on to what it was a little bit after. I think that Foyle having the ultimate kind of jaunt was a interesting extra on the story, cause such an ordinary man ended up having this awesome power. Also throguhout the book, Foyle holding in or hiding his emotions so the tatoos he gained at the beginning don't appear as much.

Bloodchild Questions
- Questions about the story:
What is the gender of Gan?
If he knew it was coming, was it still rape?
Are they really just cattle for the other species?
What are the eggs, where do they come from?
Does Gatoi really love Gan? Will she keep her promise that she'd protect her?
-Questions the story is asking?
Are babies actually parasites?
Response to the Reading:
At first,it was just a bit confusing as to what was going on. T'Gatoi and Gan were an interesting pair in the end. Though, while reading it, I was confused about Gan's gender for some reason. I thought the part of how the men give "birth" to the children of the alien race that T'Gatoi is part of is definitely something different for me to read about. It was a little grotesque at parts, but I imagine the process of birth is never something easy. I liked the insight of what Gan was thinking, he was quite the character. In the end, he stood up for what he is to T'Gatoi and how he had to keep some power along with her. In a relationship it's never good to have unbalanced power. How humans were kept on preserves and how the other race wanted to use them as things to reproduce was a question that brought up the question of were they just cattle to them? Though, T'Gatoi says they're not like that in the end.
