Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm a nerd, a gamer, a lover of books, and a writer! Join me for conversations about writing and video essays about books as I try to also navigate college and adult life! I hope you can stick around for a bit!
Books that Inspire Me
Yikes this is a long video and also, there was an issue with the audio syncing. Sorry :(
I've been MIA for a while, so let's talk about books!

Would you believe that this took me five days and over one hundred takes to film? Because it did. Filming is hard. UPDATE: I've been getting a lot more requests to read the original essay lately, so here's a link to a word press page where I've uploaded the essay for anyone interested rachelsansomblog.wordpress.com/university-essays/oryx-and-crake-final-essay/ Happy reading!
ngl audio kinda poo poo.
Yeah, it's pretty bad! I definitely needed a better microphone!
This is really good. Although a bit too quick... But the content is so good...
Thanks! I agree, I talk way too fast! I need to take more deep breaths while speaking :)
Excellent video. I just listened to this story and your review helped me to understand it. Thank you x
Awesome video lol worth the effort
it was the best review I've read about the book so far! thank you!
You r really smart
You're a super smart gal! Thanks so much for the video!
This is great and helped a lot, but the whole time I was waiting for her to straighten her glasses😂
You and about a hundred other people! I did fix them... eventually.
What do you think about H. P. Lovecraft ?
I borrowed a compilation from a friend, but haven't had a chance to read any of it yet, unfortunately. Been really absorbed by college.
Just finished reading the book just a moment ago and my mind is buzzing with questions and confusion. I was trying to come up with an explanation for some of the details and I really like your take and analysis.
Quick note! I've been busy with college the past couple of years, but I'll be back to make more videos like this one after I've graduated! In addition, I've removed access to the essay itself because I have concerns about plagiarism, but I still want to encourage you all to use my video essay as a resource to improve your already stellar work. Have an awesome day y'all!
There's been a sudden surge in requests to read the original essay I based this video on, presumably because school is really tough for a lot of people right now. So I've added a link in the description that will take you to the wordpress page where the essay can now be read! I'll also leave it here: rachelsansomblog.wordpress.com/university-essays/oryx-and-crake-final-essay/ As always, have an awesome day!
are the crooket glasses just a 'didnt notice' or is it part of your look?
Haha, I used to fall asleep at my desk a lot, so that's probably why they're crooked. It's definitely a look though.
Your communication skills are great.
You just saved my English grade
A summary review that took so long for you to make that you lost your bunkbed. Great job by the way! Very interesting book.
Youre teacher have to give you 100 for this oh my god your so good
I actually wrote this essay two years ago! It wasn't a 100 because I still had a lot to learn (and still do!) but thanks so much for the support!
Destroying the world? Classic Glenn
When I discussed this book with my teacher, she mentioned that Crake is the "embodiment of evil" in this story. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who disagrees with that, he is a much more complex character than that
I tend to believe that characters are meant to be as complex as real people, if they're well written! I'm glad you viewed him through that lens too!
Wow, you did amazing! I love this book and the whole Maddadam series. You did a really interesting discussion.
Thank you for analysis! You really helped me understand the book in a different way
I'm glad the video helped! Thanks for watching it!
you did a really good job with this explanation. Its really helpful!!
