Next, both authors utilize structure in order to view problems as humans do, in hindsight, but Spiegelberg does it a bit differently by utilizing the format of the panels with a gutter in between them. First, when Vladek is telling Artie about a letter he received, his silhouette of him sitting on the stationary bike is depicted. As he mentions that the letter came with a photo, a panel containing a picture of a female mouse is drawn tilted, larger, and overlapping his silhouette, as to call attention

The dreaming stories explain how the Spirit Ancestors made the trees, rocks, waterholes, and rivers, mountains and stars

their lives? Or, is it all up to fate? Though La Jetée and 12 Monkeys approach the story differently, the idea surrounding time and fate is the same; no matter how hard people attempt to alter the past or figure out the future, they are stuck in the present, guided only by fate.     In La Jetée, Chris Marker tells the story of a man in a post-apocalyptic France who is selected to be a part of experiments because of his recurring memory. Drawing from this film, Terry Gilliam created 12 Monkeys which

shattered lives of Sethe, her family, fellow former slaves, and the community through a unique writing style. The narrative does not follow a traditional, linear plot line. The reader discovers the story of Sethe through fragments from the past and present that Morrison reveals and intertwines in a variety of ways. The novel is like a puzzle of many pieces that the reader must put together to form a full picture. Through this style, which serves as a metaphor for the broken lives of her

that idea and started our own creations, the human experience would be entirely different. Like what Edward Byrn said in his essay, The Progress of Invention During the Past Fifty Years, “Perhaps, then, it will serve a better purpose to contrast the present conditions with those existing fifty years ago”, it is easier to appreciate science and technological advancement by imagining how our lives could have been without it. Imagine the world without electricity, transportation, computers, etc. I honestly

Compare and contrast the lifestyles of Thai teenagers, past and present Today's teenagers are different from the past teenagers because of the time and the prosperity of the technology. In the past, there was little equipment and technology, so they had to try their best to do the routines. But nowadays, I think that technology makes routines easier than before like listening to music, games and photography. The difference between listening to the music in the past and current.

Having the luxury of the present allows the people of this time to judge the past on the credentials of the present. The beliefs, culture, and social morals of the any present era are held as innately superior to how society acted before, and yet it is every new era that holds the past era in contempt, as barbaric, and inhumane. It is no different for a future era to hold this present era in contempt. Perhaps in the future, the entire world will be vegetarian and look on with dismay at the slaughter

it starts off with Margot saying,” What I remember best is the present we used to get presents when we were little ... Each day they got better and better.” Next Mr. Frank said,” We are all here, alive. That is a present enough.” When she finishes, Anne chirps in with,” No, it isn't. I've got something … ” as she runs off to get something Mrs. Frank says,” What is it?” Anne finally ends that part that I picked out saying,” Present!” Even though the group of people are stuck in a cramped little

how it pertains to human’s free will. During this paper I will analyze Boethius’s argument as to why we retain our free will based upon his definition of eternity. Boethius says that God has the ability of foreknowledge and knows all things past, present, and future because of his eternity. Foreknowledge is defined by Boethius as the ability of God to foresee things in the future. According to Boethius once God foresees things through foreknowledge they are thus necessary to

work, I felt scared out of my mind! Consequently, my time machine had been revealed by everyone in the building. They were constantly going and leaving without my permission. I couldn’t even make my way to the entrance before everyone had left the present time. The next morning, I woke up in a hovering bed. There were Jetpacks everywhere. Instead of flying to work with a popular Jetpack, I decided to walk. On my way I noticed that the sky was gray and hazy with little to any sunlight. The weather
