Fictional scientists

ignorance is bliss” (Davies). These words shared by theoretical physicist Paul Davies ring solid throughout the haunting story of “Frankenstein,” by Mary Shelly. Seen by many as the “Modern Prometheus,” this story details the exploits of the fictional scientist Victor Frankenstein, with his humble beginnings as a curious learner, his obsessive thirst for the unattainable, and the unspeakable creation that ultimately lead to his downfall. But what was it that lead to Victor’s tragic mistake?…

knowledge because they were real events. Real is better than fake so, I really didn’t understand how you could learn from fictional books until now. Because I thought that you couldn’t learn from reading, I stopped and lost my interest for reading. After reading 1984 and Cat’s Cradle over summer, my passion for reading was rekindled. These two books illustrated how a fictional book is capable of being educational. From these two books, I finally understood that…

officer to an attorney, to what I will be discussing today, science and/or scientist. The media i.e. TV and movies, makes these careers look so appealing, which is so not what the career is really. Science and scientist are often portrayed in the media to be something in the realms of the science in Jurassic Park and scientist are usually older men in white long coats with glasses and crazy white hair like the Professor scientist in Back to the Future. As an adult I know that the media has…

advances are made all the time. This can become dangerous as technology and biology are being integrated. Man now has the ability to read and partially understand the genetic code that every living organism has which creates many opportunities for scientists. At what point should man say “Should we?” instead of “Could we?”? At what point does man need to stop trying to play God and allow God’s creation to continue naturally? Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein demonstrates the dilemmas that parallel the…

books that we have read to the book Jurassic park by Michael Crichton. To begin, a book that can be compared with Jurassic Park would be Fahrenheit 451 by the author Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451 is comparable because they are both fictional. I say that the books are fictional because Tyrannosaurus Rexes and Mechanical Hounds that can do unknown abilities do not exist in our society today. They are also comparable with the uses of imagery and details in their figurative language. Imagery and…

carrier to become blind, and some forms of cancer. Francisco Mojica discovered the gene editing tool in 1993. Although Mojica was the first to discover it, many scientists have contributed to the technology and made it what it is today. Francisco Mojica is a Molecular Biologist and the University of Alicante in Spain, he is praised by scientists all over the world for the revolutionizing…

The Hulk is a fictional superhero created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, who first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book The Incredible Hulk in May 1962 published by Marvel Comics. In his comic book appearances, the character is both the Hulk, a green-skinned, hulking and muscular humanoid possessing a vast degree of physical strength, and his alter ego Bruce Banner, a physically weak, socially withdrawn, and emotionally reserved physicist, the two existing as personalities…

Climate Change: Is it Factual or Fictional? Whether or not climate change is real has been a debate that has circulated the world for decades. After recent natural disasters that affected millions around the country, the debate has been reignited. Several states, such as California, have already put in place rules that increase energy efficiency that uses less fossil fuels. The factors included in this debate range anywhere from a scientific standpoint to a political one. Some believe climate…

as good at, for example I got a B on two of them and also I am not very good at building a plot and coming up with a story. I am not as good as I am at my argument essays then I am at my narrative writing,such as in my fictional narrative I write, “ He didn’t see any of scientists around so he slowly walked towards the the alien and released the alien from its shackles.” That quote shows I am not very good at writing stories. In analysis writing I am better at it than narrative writing but a…

is, even when there is information available to indicate a majority or lack thereof. However, he claims that people are not unexposed or indifferent to scientific facts. Although they require scientists to make sense of raw data, they are not scientifically illiterate. Rather, people disagree on what scientists are telling…
