Harvey Milk once stated, “It takes no compromise to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people their freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression. I find Milk’s thoughts to be very true based on witnessing how difficult it is for homosexual to be seen as equal to heterosexual people. The film Fresco y Chocolate depicts a flamboyant gay artist, Diego, who tries to seduce a college student named David throughout the film.…

After doing careful research, Nicolas Panotto, a theorist author, realized, ¨The problem of power affects the most sensitive parts of any social institution” (Panotto 45). As said, power greatly impacts how successful a society is able to be; however, a strong combination of politics, laws, customs, and traditions, would make a society perfect, or a utopia. In the contrast, a dystopia would lack these characteristics, and even though it presents the illusion of a utopia, the society is under…

and Montag about books, Mildred says, “‘Books aren’t people. You read and I look all around, but there isn’t anybody!’...’Now,’ said Mildred, ‘my ‘family’ is people. They tell me things; I laugh, they laugh? And the colors!’” (Bradbury 69). The reason Mildred says this is because she spends most of her time in front of her parlor walls with her fake ‘family’. She thinks they are real people, but they are images on a…

Can one person accurately state what lies in the future? Though people would like to believe so, the future can only be predicted through a person’s opinions and perspectives of the present. Dystopian novelists do an excellent job prophesying the future of a world century in advance, whereas, utopian novels describe an essentially perfect society. They use vivid symbols, compelling word choice, and interesting characters to create a stimulating story. Themes involving technology, corruption,…

Wayward Pines seems like a nice town to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live there. This little quaint Idaho town is an impossible place to leave, not because of the spectacular views or idyllic residents or the mighty fine pine they serve, but because the whole town is surrounded by an electric fence. Every road out of town brings you back to Wayward Pines. There is no way out from this town, it would seem that visitors stick around. Adapted from the hit Blake Crouch’s best-selling trilogy of…

If Hitler had a Big Brother… it would be O’Brien The world would be a better place if everyone was happy, if the weather was ideal, if laws were created to reflect the ideal lifestyle. In a utopia, it is thought as a imaginary, and an indefinitely remote place but one person's utopia is another's dystopia (“utopia”). An imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives is a dystopia (“dystopia”).. This is what happens in most cases like in the book of 1984 by George Orwell…

political system affects their citizens to fight against the regime, flight and assimilate to another country and culture. The regime of a nation affects citizens which cause the defection and the defection affects the defectors as well as their families. The causes of nationalism are reflected through the use of mood, imagery, and hyperbole in the book “Half Life” by Paul H.B. Shin. Furthermore, these literary devices are used to represent the appearance of the causes effectively. The…

20th century author George Orwell’s 1984 is a bleak yet powerful depiction of a dystopia deprived of individualism and free thinking. Several themes are explored throughout the novel’s progression such as freedom, gender, and technology. However, Orwell’s message about power is especially strong. 1984 is essentially a warning of the corruption and apathy that power brings when it is abused, as can be seen from the perspectives of the protagonists and progression of events. In the country of…

Imagine living in a world where major decisions are being made for everyone. Being a unique individual is not existent. The government controls how a person looks, the career chose of a person, and what and how a person thinks on the daily basis. Sounds terrible. Unfortunately, these societies exist in the short story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and The Giver, a novel by Lois Lowry. Both societies’ governments force equality on all citizens and believe that the society is a…

The society in Anthem is a dystopian society. A utopian society, is described to be as perfect a society as you can get, and a dystopian society is the exact opposite, making it the worst and most unpleasant society you could bare. Anthem can be considered dystopian in my perspective because of the oppression that the people face, the lack of voice, and the several other non favourable things they are forced to do. Because of the way this dystopian society functions, it is technologically…
