The Star

I enjoyed this short story. However there were some complicated parts that I didn't understand. I think it went a little to much into detail. I thought it was kind of interesting that the narrator and his crew were able to travel to a different galaxy. Right now we cant even make it past Pluto . This other galaxy is also kind of like a "dead" galaxy, everything was blown up by their sun. Which is another interesting thing. Some scientist think that our sun will get to close to us and we will burn or blow up too.

It's weird how this other planet, or the star, had people, or something close to humans, living on it. It was kind of like another Earth. Their civilisation was a little bit ahead of us too.

I'm not sure of the time lines. When did the star blow up? Was it in our ancient history? Or was it sometime in the present, resent history?


It made me think, how would Earth look if it was destroyed. Would we look like good people, or evil? If someone, or something, else discovered us after we were gone what would they think? And not just as Americans, but as the whole planet. Are we less intelligent, or are we super smart? Have we done good things in history?

To answer my question I believe that over all we have been successful throughout history. There have defiantly been some bad times, but also some good. For example, wars we have fought, haven't been to good. But we have done other charitable things to help other counties in their time of need.
