Absurdism and Satire in Milky Shot Roy Kafri's Milky Shot is a quirky, compelling examination of human nature combining the fantastical with the mundane. The film opens with an alien floating through space—something that initially seems right out of Star Trek. However, Milky Shot quickly takes a different direction as an asteroid approaches the alien; rather than seem threatened, the alien is excited by the prospect of companionship and is subsequently disappointed when the asteroid evades

Both of their books are extremely similar, with their characters and story. In Zero Hour the characters are not aware that an invasion is about to happen(except for the children's).

Genre of Science Fiction In Darko Suvin’s “Metamorphoses of Science Fiction,” Suvin argues that science fiction should be considered its own literary genre. The reason he believes science fiction is distinct from other literary genres is because of its transforming aspects. Suvin describes science fiction as the literature of “cognitive estrangement,” which includes a “novum”. It is his belief that both cognition and estrangement must be both present and interactive in science fiction. Although

Satire and Fantasy in Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle For this essay, I decided to pick two terms that describe Cat's Cradle. I felt that satire and fantasy were two terms that suited the novel quite well. The book qualifies as a satire because it makes a mockery of things that were of concern in the sixties. For example, the Cuban missile crisis was a big issue in the early sixties. Religion was taken much more seriously, and the family unit was more tightly wound. In the novel, the threat comes

For this essay I aim to show the importance of memory and of remembering the past in The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. The Handmaid’s Tale is a ‘speculative fiction’ first published in 1985 but set in the early 2000s. The novel was in response to changes in US politics with the emergence of Christian fundamentalism, the New Right. Atwood believed that society was going wrong and wrote this savage satire, similar to Jonathan Swift’s ‘A Modest Proposal’, depicting a dystopia which she uses as
