Contrast between Fantastic Four of 2005 and the Fantastic Four of 2015 “In American films, the first science fiction craze came in the 50 's, fueled by cold war paranoia, and produced a wave of movies about space exploration, alien invaders and giant, radiation-infected insects.”(Moss) Science fictions is a type of American genre that discuss human relationship with science and technology. It is created to introduce science and technology to the audience as a form of entertainment. Fantastic four movies both 2005 and 2015 are both science fiction based movies, they entertain the audience by showing science related things just as the genre indicates.

This play is a fiction interpretation of the battle of inventing television. You have boy genius Philo Farnsworth…

Throughout history, the human species have not always been able to read or write. One thing humans have always understood are pictures. The cavemen painted on walls in order to document and tell the stories of their lives. In the more modern era, books, especially for children, are filled with pictures in order to help convey the ideas of the writer to all who read his books. This idea of pictures to help support book is shown very well in Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco’s book Days of Destruction…

Chris Crutcher argues in his article, “How They Do It”, that school systems should not become easily persuaded by the parents’ complaints to censor books that should be a part of the curriculum that their children benefit from due to the fact that the students can relate, learn, and build off of the books that are censored. Crutcher builds his argument throughout his article by including the use of personal anecdotes, pathos, and repetition. Due to the fact that Crutcher includes the use of…
