In the Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, the main character, Lauren Olamina, leaves behind Christianity, a religion that she identified with her whole life and creates a new religion known as Earthseed.

The concern about the condition of the world today is an ever present debatable issue in our current society. In the science fiction novel Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, the author as put by Jayne Glover in critical analysis “Human/Nature: Ecological Philosophy in Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake”, Atwood “speculates on what the near future may be like considering the realities of contemporary environmental, social and political issues” (Glover 50). Atwood’s novel specifically focuses on the question: when will the line be drawn? She emphasizes dystopian ideals by painting a grim picture of a futuristic society that extends many of the scientific capabilities available today to a probable future state of existence. Additionally Atwood portrays a society that is consistent with a godless and soulless people that would logically evolve if all current standards of morality were abandoned. In Oryx and Crake, Atwood uses society’s obsessive need for immortality to demonstrate the dystopian idea of the loss of sacredness of life. Atwood demonstrates this theme through the use of symbolism and biblical allusions.

Near the beginning of the novel, they are able to rule out a man as a killer because of how well taken care of the girls were. As Dr. Brennan gains more evidence, they can link more cases to the
