Eloi Vs Morlocks

El Capitán is a tall and elegant man. He is a physical contrast to Eloísa’s meek, gentile person. He is an expert “on old ships and sea lanes” which is brought up again after his proposal to Eloísa. The way he handles Eloisa is compared to the beauteous

One literary technique that authors often employ is to use a character who is a “visitor” to provide insight into a society’s culture. In Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Player Piano, the author employs the Shah of Bratpuhr in such a manner. Instead of seeing a society that is better because of its reliance on machines, the Shah instead observes that the people of Ilium have become slaves to their machines instead. Instead of observing a society that worships a religious God and looks to him for inspiration and guidance, the Shah sees that Proteus’ world instead ridiculously worships and obeys the dictates of the giant computer brain EPICAC. Instead of admiring Paul Proteus’ society for granting worth based solely on intelligence, status, and

Lena revisits her ancestry after a terrorist attack in Jordan. When a voice beckons her for “the time to return home” she obeys. She had been called back “to the land of [her] ancestors” who “had tracked [her] down and [were] speaking” to her (Howe, 20). Lena’s mother had died in childbirth, leaving Lena an orphan. Ezol guides her to reconstruct the history of the Miko Kings: to “unwrap the team’s stories as one might open birthday gifts. Out of order, but with a gift for celebration” (Howe, 22). Ezol’s nightly stories allow Lena to reconstruct lost history, in which “time opens like a coffin”(Howe, 33).

In the Dreamtime when the great ancestors had roamed the earth, they were human, animal, and bird at one

Hominids are ancestors of humans who are primates. Primates are known to have grasping feet and hands, fingernails instead of claws, fingerprints, forward facing eyes, and are known to be smarter than other animals. Out of all the primates, chimpanzees are the closest to humans. Ninety-nine percent of human genetics match chimpanzee genetics. Ever since humans started to evolve, they started to develop distinct features that are different from these primates, which was called divergent evolution. For example, humans are bipedal, while most primates are quadrupeds. As time went on, they evolved to the present-time humans the world has today. But what happens next? Because you can’t accurately predict the far future, people like scientists can only predict how humans are going to change and

Mammals are a subcategory of vertebrates, and mammals are more closely related to each other than to other types of vertebrates. They are so closely related, in fact, that the pictures at Station 9, of embryos of different mammals, are nearly indistinguishable. They all seem to have developing vertebrae, heads, and limbs, that are identical. Some of these will be lost as the embryo develops. The human embryo will lose its tail, while the dolphin embryo will lose a large part of its limbs. Primates are a category of mammals, and apes are a type of primates. All apes come from a common ancestor, and that includes humans. Even humans speciated multiple times before the modern human, or homo sapiens, evolved, as evidenced by the skulls at Station 5. They were all skulls of different species of prehistoric human. The skull most similar to the modern skull belonged to the most recent species of human. There were times when two types of humans lived together. The species that was best adapted to fit the environment at the time survived, while the

The world is advancing so rapidly today, it seems that it will never stop growing in knowledge and complexity. In the novel “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells, The Time Traveler, as Wells calls him, travels hundreds of thousands of years into the future through time. He arrives at a world that, at first glimpse, is peaceful and clear of any worries. As The Time Traveler explores the world, he discovers that the human race has evolved into 2 distinct forms. Although the world appeared to be the Garden of Eden, it was, in reality, the Garden of Evil. Wells uses three aspects of the futuristic world to illustrate this: the setting, the Eloi, and the Murlocks.

The Mormo’s description is also inhuman. Erinna’s perception of the monster was that of “on her head were massive ears and she walked / on four legs” (17-18). This description of the Mormo is best interpreted as “either a wolf or a horse” or even that “she is imagined as a werewolf” (Johnston 179). These

H. G. Wells’ novella The Time Machine is a story about the price for a life of luxury. Through his writing, he warns society of what could happen if they continued the path they were on. Arriving in the future, thanks to the time machine that Wells created, readers observe a world where society has split into two species. In Victorian England, there was a fear residing in the upper class that the working class would engage in an uprising and throw them from power. This brought the desire for security, which is what the Eloi hold in the year 802,701. Degeneration occurs when people live in a society that requires little work and there is dependency on others for food, shelter, and clothing. No physical labour means extinction of the survival

The history of life on earth goes back to millions of years. Many species and creatures evolved and changed through time, leading up to what we know today as, modern man. One of the creatures most similar to modern man is the Neanderthals; they are sometimes referred to as “early modern humans.”

Achilles and Meleagros go through incredibly similar experiences with Achilles mirroring Meleagros to some extent. Why then does Achilles’ story survive as the enormous epic that it is, The Iliad, while Meleagros has only a small fraction of that? This is an incredibly valid question because of the major parallels between Achilles and Meleagros. Both men are affected immensely by the one most “near and dear” to them (Kleopatra and Patroklos), both are offered incentives to fight in battle by their comrades, and both still wait to fight until their consequences are visually seen in battle. The ultimate differences however, and the reasons that Achilles is better remembered, are Achilles’ lineage as well as his very present

The time Traveller's think that Eloi are the sole descendants of humanity. This relates to Darwin's theory that most individuals produced in a given population than can possibly survive in that environment, thereby setting up a struggle for survival. This goes to show the similarities of these theories that these two different species of Eloi and humans have the same or similar characteristics as on another based of surviving in an environment.

Then one of them suddenly asked me a question that showed him to be on

Although Turnus, from Aeneid, is considered a “second Achilles”, he is unlike Achilles, from the Iliad, because he is ignorant of his fate, and his furor, or fury, is invoked by the Gods (Aen. 6.113). Aeneas is also different from Achilles because Aeneas shows pietas, devotion to the community, and he generally shows compassion, whereas Achilles puts his self-interests first and never shows compassion. However, Achilles and Aeneas are quite similar because their fury stems from feeling at fault for the deaths of their comrades, and this rage makes them lack sympathy while killing many opponents.

But in mysterious state of despair the other group, the Morlocks, live in a huge underground world. Wells expressed the theory of evolution by making the Eloi, distant descendants of the wealthy but because they didn't use their brains or muscles, they were very weak and had lost most signs of human intelligence. However the Morlocks descended from the labourers and the working class. Both species had adapted to their environment. The Eloi were small and very weak, as they didn't work at all, they also had very short attention spans, as they didn't pay attention to things for very long.
