There are two very popular sci-fi stories that have been a part of our lives for years. They are very similar in a lot of ways. They are very different in a lot of ways.

I will be comparing these stories and I also be contrasting these stories. As I said before, Doctor Who is a Sci-Fi TV show. The TV show first aired on November 23rd, 1963. It…

Poorly written editorials should not be published without revisions, because the purpose of the editorial is lost in translation. This genre analysis will compare the form, content, purpose, and intended audience of two editorials. The first editorial by John addresses all-terrain-vehicle safety and the second editorial by David addresses the dental health crisis in Appalachia. …

historic times as a way to explain the unknown. Literature has evolved since those times and many of the unknowns have now been explained through rational scientific methodologies. Stories based in fantasy, however, continue to be one of the most popular genres. Some of reasons for this include the human disposition to dream and wonder about worlds beyond our grasp. Stories based in fantasy both challenge and offer guidance to morals, ethics, and the basis of human nature. Fantasy also offers…

dehumanization. While both texts discuss different topics and scenarios, their pivotal theme is what ultimately tie the stories together. Both authors use very different strategies to showcase the alienation and dehumanization based upon their story’s genre. Maus I & II is a very real and intense comic that gives a snapshot of what it was like to be a Jew in World War II through the eyes of a survivor - Vladek Spiegelman. Vladek is the author’s father which gives the story a much needed…

mystery murder cases. On his side is Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan who is a forensic, anthropologist who along with agent Booth helps resolves these mystery cases. The episode most likely will begin with the discovery of human bone remains. The genre series consists of drama mixed with comedy. It involves a serious matter that deserves attention, as this could be real life murder investigations of real people. The show lacks of realism…

Fiction of each era reflects the insecurities, concerns, and ideals of its generation, and through this genre, authors are able to construct entire universes of their own fantasy without fear of prosecution. These universes might contain characters that push boundaries of what is socially acceptable, but the authors need not be held accountable for their actions because after all, it is pure fiction. The same holds true for works of the 19th century, where authors question traditional Victorian…

Western being a genre itself has subgenres. The major common subgenres are pre-classic, classic, spaghetti and revisionist. Western movies, regardless of what subgenre, had a similar major attribute, which included; Narratives that took after a mission that the legend needed to partake in-characters, mostly males who isolate themselves from whatever remains of human advancement by having an unmatched level of mental/physical durability and chivalry settings in normal settings, for example,…

In this essay I will be talking about the connections between two different psychological thrillers. The two movies I have chosen are, Shutter Island directed by Martin Scorsese and Butterfly effect directed by Eric Bress, J. Mackye Gruber. Both movies have significant differences and similarities which made it a good choice to compare them both using filming techniques. Shutter Island is a film that’s main character is Leonardo DiCaprio, this involves himself as Andrew Laeddis, at the Shutter…

In literature, there are many different themes that appear repeatedly in novels people read. These themes can be seen in many works of literature, no matter the genre or topic. One of the most recurring themes seen in books is a character’s loss of innocence. Loss of innocence happens when a character is exposed to situations they had never been exposed to before such as war, death and violence. These are all things that most children are naive to and have never experienced in their life.…

When it comes down to the songs that will play in the movie of my life, these songs would be dramatic. Every song would have a different meaning, and more attention, destruct and love in it than the last. There are certain songs that are more committed to a certain time or event that has happened. Some are due to it being the song we sang when at the time, some being the lyrics that stuck years later yet most are because of the feeling when the song is first heard. Going as far back that I can…
