The Triffids

My family and I decided to tour Chinatown on our trip to Chicago. After setting down at the hotel that we were staying for the night, it was time to go to Chinatown. My parents, my youngest brother, David, and I went to Chinatown. My other two brothers didn’t want to come with us, so they stayed back at the hotel. I was pretty angry at them for not spending time with the family, but can’t force them to do what I want them to. The drive to Chinatown was about 20 minutes away from the hotel. The drive was long and boring. I slept for the whole 17 minutes, When we got to Chinatown I woke up, the traffic was bad. I looked out the car window. People were walking everywhere. It looked like the cars are going in every direction. We were trying to enter a parking lot that was built for Chinatown’s tourist only. When we entered the parking lot, there was no space for us to parked. Luckily, we found a parking spot, but it was a little far from Chinatown. I’m just glad that we found a parking spot. We got out. We had to walk all the way to Chinatown. It was hot and boring during the 2-3 minute walk. The first thing we did is taking pictures with the status and families. I am sad that my brothers are not in the pictures during this trip, because my family, we don’t usually go to trip like this. It’s a once in awhile. There’s a lot of people around me. The sidewalk was crowded. A lot of different race such as Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Hmong, Koreans, Americans, African Americans, and…

The Unknown In 1951, John Wyndham created The day of the Triffids that not only introduced a new plague of horror but also a new perspective on the human race.

In the novel he uses his ominous setting and his distinct take on characters to his advantage. The outrageous and descriptive setting throughout the novel jolts the readers…

The Dutch atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen stated that the Anthropocene can be defined as “a new stage had begun in Earth’s history, one in which humankind had emerged as the most powerful influence on global ecology”. The film The Road and the BBC TV series The Day of the Triffids address the concept Anthropocene, which means human impacts on the Earth, but in distinctive ways. This is best demonstrated by the image such as the revenge of the Triffids caused by oil extraction in The Day of the…

Next, Buckell and Schroeder demonstrate the racism of the present world and how the climate change effects differently to various races. Lastly, DeLancey validates the inequality in classes when a disaster occurs and exposes how adequately the elites are able to protect themselves from the calamities. Through the analysis of this content, a coherent association is uncovered between the Anthropocene and social factors like race, class, and gender. Wyndham illustrates human’s indistinguishable…

the Ya-Te-Veo from South America. It was not until over eighty years later in 1955 that the account of the man-eating plant was debunked. In one of his books, Willy Ley, a science author, came to the conclusion that it was all bogus. Although the story was debunked at a complete fabrication, it did not stop the popularity of the story. The phenomenon crept its way in the media industry. The first movie credited with featuring carnivorous plants is Voodoo Island created back in 1957. While…
