__The work of Isaac Asimov By:Destinee Heard__

My paper is about how Isaac Asimov's writing ways help or contribute to hte Golden Age of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov was born in Pelrovichi ,Russia SFSR on January 1,1920. He departed our world on April 6,1992 in New York City. He was mainly known for non-stop writing, especially in the genre of science-fiction. Asimov has written over five hundred books,mostly science-fiction, in his life time. He first began writing in 1929 at a vey tender teen age.

His first story was sold in a magazine which was sold in a store that was owned by his family in 1929. He first really started to write sci-fi is in the year of 1937. The name of the story was "//Cosmic Corkscrew//", unfortunately it took him between a year and a half to two years. He wrote many different things about the topic of science fiction, he wrote often to a magazine called //Astounding// which was edited by John W. Campbell. He also has written famous, well known stories, such as a story called //Nightfall//.

One thing that really named Asimov as a science fiction writer was the way he "co-authored a college-level textbook", that was named //Biochemistry and Human Metabolism//. He really was pushed to be a sci-fi writer when he added to the //Three Laws of Robotics// and //The foundation Series.// He also contributed to the //Oxford English Dictionary// the words positronic, psychohistory, and the word robotics, which was put into the English Dictionary. (positronic means "entirely fictional technology". pshycohistory means "frequently used in a different sense than the imaginary one Asimov employed".robotics means mainly understanding mechanics, hydraulics, ect.) Also the way Isaac Asimov's 32nd published story, //Nightfall,// which the Science Fiction Writers of America described it to be, "the most famous science-fiction short story ever written.

The way Isaac Asimov wrote was very descriptive. He tends to use very bis and unusual words that are not used in everyone's everyday life. For example, the articles that was written called 'The __Endochronical__ Properties of __Resublimated__ __Thiomoline'__, 'The __Micropsychiatric__ Applications of __Thiomoline__', and __'Thiomilone__ and the Space Ages". Which are mostlywords that are not used everyday for most people.
