On H.G. Wells’s Use of Realism in The War of the Worlds The War of the Worlds was released in 1898, during H.G. Wells’s pioneering of the science fiction genre. At this time, there had been numerous novels written with documentary-style exposition. Readers were responding to this type of non-fiction, and with Wells opening a style that bears such thick roots to fiction, it only made sense that he used a journalistic approach, the story being told from the point of view of a completely anonymous…

the planet Venus” They have come to accept the way their life is, that is until they get a taste of “summer” they then realize that they are powerless in the face of nature they can not control the changing of seasons anymore than we can change the time of day, when they kids realise this they react negatively “In the center of it, cupped and huge, was a single raindrop. She began to cry, looking at it. They glanced quietly at the sun.” this is a reaction to the fact that they have realised how…

creatively film "dinosaurs" using enlarged iguanas and an alligator with glued on fins, sails, spikes, and horns. A pig running around in a rubber suit starred as a Triceratops and fought an Allosaurus (man walking upright in a rubber suit). At the time audiences liked the dino-action, but it was not box office smash (Gross, The Lost World: Early Dinosaur Cinema). One Million B.C. did receive two Academy Awards nominations in 1941 for Best Special Effects and Best Musical Score (Oscars, 2016).…

have found so far. Today I found a time machine! It was in an underground nuclear bomb shelter used in the year 2070, covered under a white blanket. It was so dusty I think that I saw a dust “bunny” the size of a tall brick wall. Plus the best part is it’s all right under my house, but my enthusiasm was short lived because when I pulled the cover off it exposing nothing but a small hourglass. After exposing my “great” treasure I began wishing I could go back in time and not discover this…

The protagonist in my novel is the time traveler himself. I feel he is the protagonist because he drives the action. If it wasn’t for the Time Traveler than the novel wouldn’t have as much action. Example is when the Time Traveler goes in to time and meets the morlocks and he has to go underground to retrieve The Time Machine because the morlocks took it. I feel that The Time Traveler is a believable character. I believe that he is a believable character because he is an inventor. Inventors…

No matter how many times you've seen the Mosasaurus jump out of the water and devour that great white shark in the trailer, it still takes you aback in the movie. The dinosaurs look amazing and though it's probably not as much of a technical breakthrough compared to the original…

Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits written David Wong takes place in two contrasting areas. To begin with, the novel starts out in the countryside of Colorado and later transfers to a fictional city named Tabula Rasa. Tabula Rasa is a city much like Las Vegas only with fewer restrictions.

due to the use of knowledge destroyed by of wickedness. Additionally, By The Waters of Babylon is a story that takes dystopian world in post war. The setting probably took place after 1945 since that was when world war 2 ended and around the same time the story was written. New York was the state in which the story took place, and the author most likely chose New York because it is a great landmark in the country. People lived as tribe civilians. Their society was disheveled and worn down. The…

In this case we will discuss and analyze how Eckels displays many instances in which he disregards the safety of his team and trespasses in the past, three examples of this are, Eckels laughs and chuckles at the “butterfly effect” as if it is a joke, he foolishly points his gun at a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and single handedly breaks the most important rule of the team to stay on the path. One instance in which Eckels disregards the safety of his team and trespasses in the past is when he jokes…
