Fallout Comparison

One significant experience that I shared in the book, “Fallout” is when Scott is frightened when he has to take shelter to be protected from the blast and the radiation. As Scott’s Dad wakes him up, he is traumatized as he hears the sirens in the background. So many questions are racing through his mind as he darts toward the playroom where the bomb shelter is located. Between the wails from Sparky to the banging sounds down the hall, Scott’s family is in complete shock. They must get into the bomb shelter before they are attacked. This horrific experience will shock Scott and his family for the rest of there lives. Once in the bomb shelter, the families don’t know what the outside world will look lite in 2 weeks. Will there be survivors? Will there be buildings

‘Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself’. This statement made by Scout at the beginning of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird shows that Maycomb is a town in which the fear of change is rife. Lee’s choice of Maycomb as a setting, developed through narrative point of view and characterisation was vital to the text as it helped to develop the theme of prejudice and the consequences which result from the fixed attitudes of an insular town.

The Divergent series is about a society of people divided into five groups that they call factions, which are based on

Sony PlayStation4 vs Microsoft Xbox One What are the differences? History -The Xbox series is designed and produced by Microsoft and there have been three major ones Xbox (2001), Xbox 360 (2005) and Xbox One (2013). According to Microsoft, the idea of naming of the Xbox comes from the fact that they want the console to be an all-round entertainment device, not just for playing video games but also to stream TV online and browse the Internet.

From J. R. R. Tolkien’s stories of Middle Earth to Bethesda Softworks successful action role-playing open world fantasy, The Elder Scrolls, there is no beating around the bush that these two series are very similar. Despite being created at different time periods, these lore enriched series have much more in common than they appear to be, as well as many differences with each other as well. There are many similarities and differences between The Elder Scrolls and the Middle Earth series with the similarities being in the genre and setting, and one such difference being the lore of these great series.

At the time it was first published, there went many other books famous books about a dystopian society, so The Hunger Games caught everyone’s attention. My favorite part is when the tributes were doing interviews the night before being sent to the Games, and Peeta declared his love for Katniss in front of the country. After they were done Katniss attacked him because she did not like that he was playing her but Haymitch, their mentor, convinced her that if the public believed them to be start-crossed lovers, they would have a greater chance at survival. I also enjoyed the ending because it leaves you wanting more, so you end up reading the whole trilogy. Suzanne Collins wrote The Hunger Games in Katniss’ point of view (first point of view) so we could get insight to what Katniss was thinking and everything going on around her; if she had written it from a different character’s perspective, or a different point of view, the story would not have been the

I like to play video games because it gives me a rush when you do something right or when you kill someone that your mission says to kill. Video games are also good for your hand-eye coordination. The two games I that I like to play the most would be Call of Duty and Minecraft. I like to play Call of Duty because you get to shoot and kill the bad people that are trying to kill you, there is also always another mission for you to do. I like Minecraft because you get to build things and create beautiful houses. You can also get the ability to care for virtual animals and name them.

The Hunger Games takes place in a post-civil-war country that has been divided into 12 districts. Katniss Everdeen lives in district 12 and competes in the yearly Hunger Games. She is not given a choice in this matter. Once she wins, she rebels against the government and fights to fix the districts. Divergent, a series by Veronica Roth, is a failed Utopia where each person has to choose which faction they want to be a part of for the rest of their life. Tris chooses Dauntless, and then discovers she is Divergent, a rare trait that could lead to being disowned by her society. This helps her to rebel against the government that is controlling people in her faction.

“Science fiction is the search for definition of man and his status in the universe which will stand in our advanced but confused state of knowledge, and is characteristically cast in the Gothic or post-Gothic mould.”—Brian W. Aldiss in Trillion Year Spree: the History of Science Fiction (London, 1986). Science fiction is a widely loved category of movies. Some of the most popular science fiction movies were released these past years. The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross, and Divergent directed by Neil Burger are two of them. The Hunger Games is about a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen who lives in the dystopian country of Panem. Panem is a fictional nation that consists of 12 districts and the Capitol. Two teens from every District are randomly picked to fight in an all-out death match called The Hunger Games. When her sister is picked out to be in The Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers to go

Let 's not forget the main character, Katniss Everdeen, or her exploits in the 74th annual Hunger Games. The story takes place in Katniss 's point of view nonetheless. This young woman boldly volunteered to save her younger sister, Primrose Everdeen, from having to

The main character, Katniss, is the jewel of the story. She is young, stubborn, idealistic, and is willing to put her life on the line for her beliefs. She advances through the plot fighting oppression and social injustice courageously. As she battles the sources of repression, she begins to understand her own power. Although the setting is undoubtedly supposed to represent an exaggeration of an image of today's society, some of the characters are too heavily exaggerated in my opinion such as President Snow. The story begins with Katniss as the victor of the Hunger Games. Then the story develops her character on the tour of all the districts in the nation. Finally, Katniss finds her self in the next Hunger Games as the President has change the rules to specifically make her play again and try to stop the districts from

So, I’m going to change things a bit. Instead of just talking about dates and numbers, which can be boring; I’m going to give this a little casual twist. So, in order to start the history let’s get a few facts out of the way. Let’s talk about gamers, mainly because I’ll be using the term a lot; gamers are people who spent a lot of time playing videogames. The Average gamer playing video games has spent twelve years playing them. Adult gamers have an average of fourteen years of playing videogames, guys have an average of sixteen years, and girls have an average twelve years. Speaking of girls did you know that 47% of gamers are girls? I would have never guessed that, but it’s a fact. So, as of 2013 49% of all people who live in The United States owns a console. All of them that own a console have at least two of them. Me, I own eleven… I think I may have a problem. Anyway, now that some of the facts are out of the way let’s start, THE HISTORY OF VIDEOGAMES! Now before I start I want to talk about all the most important events in the history of videogames, as I call them eras. Each era is very important because they shaped the videogames we know and love today.

Video games and computer games (from here on both categories will be simply referred to as video games for simplicity) have entered the domain of pop culture fairly recently. Although the first video game was developed in 1958 by William Higginbotham, their popularity didn’t occur until the seventies with the appearance of Pac-man and Frogger in the arcades (Computer and Video Games). If the younger generation of video game consumers would take a look at what was out there when the video game boom begun they wouldn’t be able to understand what was so attractive (and addictive?) about Pac-man and Frogger? The truth is, video games from over three decades ago share the same basic principles with the games we have

However, Wasteland, due to the technical limitations of the time, had a several hundred page long book to provide context and information about events in-game. Fallout, being released almost 10 years later, wasn’t constrained by those same limitations, and was able to put all information in the game itself, most of which was done via the Pip-Boy 2000. The Pip-Boy, or Personal Information Processor model 2000, is a personal computer worn by all vault dwellers. It acts as a menu of sorts, providing you with maps of the area, information about quests, lists of skills and perks for your character, your inventory of weapons, armors, and health items, and will even wish you a Merry Christmas on December 25, in game. The Pip-Boy took all of the clutter of tabletop RPGs and condensed it into a sleek and clean user

Many novels, as well as video games, deal with texts of the dystopic genre. Dystopia has become an instrumental form of literature in all countries; however, some texts are better at relaying their message than others. For example, in the video game, The Last of Us, the two protagonists, one adult male and one young girl, fight through hordes of “the infected”. They do so in order to save mankind from utter extinction. Despite being a video game, this text captures the quintessential elements needed in order to become a relatable piece of work and does so by making both Joel and Ellie (the protagonists) truthful characters. In addition to The Last of Us, the novel The Running Man, by Steven King, also deals with the topic of dystopia. This
