Improved Essays
In a distant, but not so unrealistic, future where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of Earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, EVE, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to Earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with EVE. WALL-E rescues EVE from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble.

    (Bradbury, 26). This is ironic because people usually think someone who is antisocial as wanting to be in solitude, but in this book she is being called antisocial for wanting to talk to other people.

One example is on the ship when someone is knocked out of their hover chair, there are instantly robots there to help that person back in. (Wall-E).…

    The film relies on a plethora of visual imagery to convey a feeling of desolation and desertion on Earth (Pike 115). This manipulation of visuals, referred to in Critical Studies as visual design, is a form of peripheral communication; the pro-environmental message being sent peripherally is the summation of all the visual elements used to invoke sympathy towards the decaying planet (Pike 115). Furthermore, the fact that neither Wall-E nor Eve, the protagonist and deuteragonist respectively, say little ultimately appeals to children’s preference of visual and symbolic cues (Cherry). The film’s reliance on visual imagery for the promotion of the environment is not a coincidence, especially when environmental activists already recognize that visual imagery “central to their argument and rely on these extensively as rhetorical tools to change public opinion and prompt policy changes” (Pike 116). Wall-E effectively delivers messages and persuades audiences, which is the end goal of the proposed Green Code.…

    In Robots and Minds, William Lycan tries to show that it is feasible that robots can have the same kind of mind that humans do, under the condition that machines are able to have consciousness just like humans. He further expounds this theory by introducing AI, claiming that researchers have already designed machines that can do human-functioning activities (such as reading books, playing chess, etc.) Lycan concludes that all of these actions are considered to be intelligent behavior in human standards. However, Lycan perceives the word “intelligent” as too generalized, and goes to compose his own definition: where intelligence is the ability to provide responses and to be able to adapt to unexpected situations.…
