It seems like most people have seen the movie gulliver’s Travels, but only in a depiction of part 1, and with Jack Black as the protagonist. The movie is somewhat accurate, besides the fact the Lilliputians speak english as soon as he arrives, and the additional plot that was added throughout the movie that was not present in the book. In the book, there is much more of a story and behind the scenes, meaning in older English politics, the people and cultures are represent history and issues that…

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…

with love in my heart. I will be able to die in peace. It was time for me to go back to my time. I went back to the other train car. The time machine was going to be in the janitor 's closet. I programmed it to stay in a janitor 's closet at any travel. I opened the closet and it wasn’t there. What! No. I closed the door and opened it again in hope for it to reappear. It didn’t! Oh no, I checked my watch. It’s been 3 hours and 5 minutes. How could this happen! How did time go by so quickly? I…

Traveling is unexpected, you don’t know what to do if or when something pops up during your vacations. When I was twelve years old, we had gone to Turkey to see our cousins like we do every year. I found out, in middle of sixth grade that we were also going to Prague when we went on our trip to Turkey. I knew I would spend my birthday there, but now, we were going to be in Prague instead! I could feel the butterflies in my stomach because of how excited I was. Something never expected happened…

Travel Team I’ve been playing soccer ever since I was 5, and have always loved the sport since the first touch of the ball. But for the first few years of my soccer “career”, I had always been playing for fun. When I was playing for fun, I was always the best player on my team, but I really wanted a challenge. So when I got to the age of 8, I decided that I was ready for the next level, competitive soccer. “Hurry up, Jason! You’re going to be late for your tryouts!” my mom hollered from…

1. (Gulliver speaking about the dwarf) “ I was standing on some table, talking with the lords or ladies of the court, and he seldom failed of a smart word or two upon my littleness; against which I could only revenge myself, by calling him brother, challenging him to wrestle, and such repartees as are usual in the mouths of court pages. One day, at dinner, this malicious little cub was so nettled with something I had said to him, that, raising himself upon the frame of her majesty's chair, he…
