Revolution is a term meaning, a coercive overthrow of government or social order in favor of a new system. Carl N. Degler focuses on the events that occurred before the American Revolution. Before the American Revolution, colonial Americans were already evolving into their own system, without really knowing how great of a gap they were widening between themselves and Britain. America had already experienced multiple revolutions before achieving victory during the Revolutionary War. American colonists grew to be revolutionists that changed the norm for the time period.

Ray Bradbury argues that positive experiences strengthen people’s conviction in order to reach the goal in life. In the story, The Rocket, after father and children “take off” from the Earth and start to travel the space. They are so excited about seeing the Moon and the Mars, “The moon dreamed by meteors broke into fireworks [...] ‘there’s Earth!’ ‘There’s Mars!’” (277). The father and children fall into their imaginations by traveling in space. Children shout “There’s Earth! There’s Mars!” which shows their initial dream about what the Earth and Mars look like. Although they have never seen the Earth and Mars from the space, they use their positive and creative imagination to create

The novel Looking Backward, written by Edward Bellamy, is about a young man, Julian West, who gets put into a hypnotic sleep in the late nineteenth century but awakens in the twenty-first century. In 2000, the year that West woke up in, the society had significantly changed from 1857 and Bellamy addresses the changes throughout the novel. Bellamy essentially created a utopian society extremely different from the society that he was in. Woman had equal rights as men. Social class did not exist. Everybody, does not matter on your occupation, received the same payment that was on credit. Fighting was not seen or heard off. William G. Sumner, an American academic, and Andrew Carnegie, an American industrialist, would both have extremely negative views about a book whose society supports equal pay and does not have a social class. William G. Sumner and Andrew Carnegie would have both opposed Looking Backward because of its unfair economic and social system.

The 1920's were times of cultural revolution. The times were changing in many different ways. Whenever the times change, there is a clash between the "old" and the "new" generations. The 1920's were no exception. In Dayton, Tennessee, 1925, a high school biology teacher was arrested. He was arrested because he taught the theory of evolution. The teacher, John T. Scopes, was accused of having violated the Butler Act. This was a Tennessee law that forbade the teaching of the theory of evolution in public schools. The Tennessee legislature felt that teaching evolution was wrong because it contradicted the creation theory of the Bible. The Scopes trial received worldwide publicity. The press nicknamed it the Monkey Trial

One of the reasons the characters have unfulfilled desires is, because they are thinking about the future and what they are missing out on. Chantel goes back to see the gold after the first time the stranger made her dig it up and the narrator says, “she was holding her dream in her hands,the thing she had always longed for, and which a miracle had set before her”and this is evidence of how Chantel wanted more but living in a such small town it was always out of reach until she realized the gold could be her way out (30). This would also ensure financial stability while she went out and tried new things instead of being stuck working at the hotel. In another spot the stranger is talking to Chantel about what other people would say if she told

In 1837, the start of the Victorian era, Britain began experiencing massive changes in the culture of the nation and in the industrial sector. Cultural works began to move away from rationalism, and became more romanticized and more influenced by mysticism. Privacy became a hallmark of British life as well; the outer walls of citizens’ homes were transformed into a façade by which innumerable mysteries resided behind. This romanticized idea of mystery that seemed to lurk behind the doors of the common, everyday man became a prevalent theme in the works of many writers and artists throughout the time period. Robert Louis Stevenson uses this theme of not knowing the true nature of an individual, as well as the idea of duality, to develop his theme that an evil side lies within every man and that balancing both sides is vital to preservation of ones sanity.

Victoria was Queen of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. She was the only daughter of Edward, the Duke of Kent. Her father died shortly after she was born and she became heir to the throne. The Victorian Age was characterised by rapid change and developments in almost everything. From advances in medical, scientific and technological knowledge, to changes in population growth and location. Today, we associate the 19th century with the work ethic, family values, religious observation and institutional faith. In 1840, Queen Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. At first, the British public did not particularly like the German prince, and he was excluded from holding any official political position. At times, their marriage was hectic because they both had

This technique may also be representative of the simplicity of human life, “Man, mentally, was one… Man said, ‘The Universe is dying’”. The sentence clauses here referenced, are like many found throughout the story. The succinctness of them are relative to human life, and while this comparison is very literal in this example, many more are less so, “Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time”, the comparison can still be understood, but is less apparent. In this sentence of only a few words, humanity and the rest of the world has disappeared.

The Victorian Age's morality also condemned any kind of sexual reference in literature. Victorian critics demanded from "serious" literature a didactic content and respect to the Victorian conventions which established that sex

The lower-class became more self-conscious, the middle class more powerful and the rich became more vulnerable. The novels of Charles Dickens, the poems of Alfred,
