James T. Farrell

In "He" by Katherine Anne Porter and "A Jazz-Age Clerk" by James Thomas Farrell, two characters who struggle with the aspects of poverty express the significance of how people view them in their lives; their primary concern is what people say and think of them.

“This is the Kobayashi Maru… Please help!” Any true Star Trek fan knows the story of the Kobayashi Maru. It was the test only one Starfleet cadet had ever beaten. In your simulated Starship, you come across a badly damaged third class Neutronic Fuel Carrier, named the Kobayashi Maru, floating through a Klingon neutral zone. Intergalactic treaty states that Starfleet fighters, such as the one you are the Captain of, cannot enter the neutral zone. However the life support systems are down on the

My favorite incarnation of Star Trek is the original series, filmed in the late 1960s. The hero archetype of this series is Captain James T. Kirk, who was both ordinary (born in Iowa) and extraordinary (youngest Captain in Starfleet history). (Kirk). However, he was not necessarily always a good man; he cheated on a test that was supposed to show the character of future commanders by

At one point we despised each other. We acted and thought he same things yet, hearing the other talk just irritated us. Everything I was interested in, he was interested in; and so we became very competitive. Furthermore, in high school we began practicing with each other just to compete. We studied together just to see who would understand the lesson better. We went to leadership and military trainings together just to push to be the better cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. This competitive spirit

“In the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.” (Andy Warhol). This quote is highly characteristic of popular culture in society. What Mr.Warhol was saying is simply that no matter how popular something becomes it tends to lose its appeal, eventually being replaced by the “next big thing” in an ongoing cycle that never ends. When thought of in this way it’s quite easy to see how popular culture, and television especially, has become thought of by some as nothing more than a simple act

Star Wars and Star Trek are both a part of the science fiction genre and are about space exploration. They both take place in the far reaches of the galaxies, on unique planets with imaginative and distinct species. In both series the planets are united in some way, Star Trek has The United Federation of Planets and Star Wars has the Galactic Empire. They both have a ship that they are famous for, Star Wars has the Millennium Falcon and the Death Star while Star Trek has the USS Enterprise. Each

The realization that different does not mean bad must be realized. Just because something opposes our beliefs or society's’ traditional values does not make it dangerous or unworthy of consideration. Sometimes new, unfamiliar things offer us new opportunities to grow as a society, learn, and

Order is craved in our society. Take the recent terrorist attacks in London. What was the world’s response? World leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, instructed the public to remain “…united beyond all borders in horror and sorrow, but also in determination” (RT News, 2017). This sense of fortitude, avoidance of rash decisions and the importance of order is not new to western society. Despite originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, the central themes of Neo-Classicism are still deeply
