Genre Analysis Essay

The science fiction genre and the short stories “Old Glory” and “Harrison Bergeron” are very detailed in futuristic and scientific meanings. In “Old Glory”, A child/man named Donald B. Henderson wrote an essay about his crazy great grandfather and how he was giving up on old glory ( The American Flag ) and then died in the progress. I believe that the theme of this short story is that if you believe in something, don't let other people discriminate you. “Harrison Bergeron” was a short story in the

The short story “The Last Dog” by Kathrine Patterson has a different theme to everyone who reads it. The theme I found is “don’t be afraid to find out things for yourself.” The story conveys this theme in many ways. Characters, language, lines of dialogue, all ways the theme is showed to the readers. I personally liked this story because I love science fiction. The idea of a future with amazing technology or even the possibility of a messed up future amazes me. Hearing the story and all the description

divergent aspects and perceptions of the Sci-Fi genre. These two movies: District 9 and Avatar use very diverse mise-en-scene techniques to present the immersion into alien life. The title stipulates that District 9 is a more evolved Sci-Fi genre film than Avatar. This is incorrect and rather Avatar, based on close judgment, is a more advanced Sci-Fi film. The reason for this is simple, District 9 has succumb to portraying itself similar to other Sci-Fi genre based films, whereas Avatar is a unique and

The Star Wars Franchise remains as one of the most influential science-fiction franchises up to the modern day. However, as with many works of fiction, some of the concepts presented in the movies are scientifically inaccurate. One of the most iconic symbols of Star Wars is the close-combat weapon of choice for both the Jedi and the Sith, the Lightsaber. The possibility of a real-life Lightsaber has been experimented on and quite a number of flaws have been brought up by those who have experimented

People think that stereotypes can’t be avoided. We have them about race, gender, sexuality and about anything else you could think of. Brent Staples and Judith Ortiz Cofer are both experienced writers with the message that stereotypes are dangerous because they are incomplete. Yet they completely different stories.

Merriam Webster defines the word “dated” as “coming from or belonging to a time in the past.” By that definition, any movie not released within the past year can be considered as such. It is my belief that movies are only dated when viewed out of context; when they are taken into consideration without realizing that they were created and produced in a completely different time period than the one in which they are being viewed. Additionally, the movies themselves may seem dated due to less advanced

Compare how poets present ideas to do with identity in Checking out me History and The Charge of the Light Brigade The structure of Checking out me History belittles the British history by using nursery rhymes and fairy tales as examples of it, a way of the poet turning the tables on the authorities that taught his British history rather than about historical black figures.

The poems “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” by Langston Hughes and “the mississippi river empties into the gulf” by Lucille Clifton both use rivers to explain their deeper points. Hughes’ poem talks about how a man remembers and carries all his life life experiences throughout his life. Clifton’s poem explains how people go through life they carry their past with them. Both poems use the rivers as symbolism to which the rivers carry the same water as like people carry their pasts. Although, the water

Carelessness Essay In Both the novel and poem they developed similar themes but in different ways. Fitzgerald made his theme or lesson come out in a entire novel but Cumminging managed to do that in just a few stanzas. They both made big shifts in their writing from making it loving to sad and careless and even in the poem Cummings made the poem have two meanings in just a few stanzas or words.
