pieces at a time to satisfy me. On one of the three nights we were on the ship me and my family went to a fancy restaurant. We had to get all dressed up in suits and ties. This restaurant was so nice; I…

Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is, I look at my cellphone to turn off the sirens going off on my alarm. I spend about 10 minutes on my phone viewing any notifications, messages, and timelines on my social media. Once I notice the time on my phone I quickly start to get ready for the day. While getting ready I listen to music on my phone and keep an eye on the time to make sure that I am not running late. Throughout the day I consistently check my email, both personal and…

dribble with his head up, and how to shoot the ball with the proper form from about 5 feet or so from the basket. We had so much fun. There were many days where I came to practice in a bad mood, and the moment I would see Jake and hear him say “Hey Zach, come help me shoot” it would completely change my mood! Jake always had the biggest smile on his face and an awesome attitude, and we began to build a bond that would change who I…

The invisible man was given several names during this novel. At first, he was the trespasser who received Iping. Then, he was Voice that surprised everyone. However, his real name was Griffin. The invisible man himself, and therefore the main character of the story, and therefore the image of science while not humanity. His journey from scientific obsession to mental disease and greed could be a statement of the risks…

philosophy. Only Huxley uses his theory about people 's urge for sex, and Demonaco uses the theory for violence. Though these are similar themselves at the same time because both are Freudian theories and both discuss human urges. Freud is right by saying we are sexual and violent beings, and both governments in both dystopias acknowledge that. Neither government wants change but their are still people who dislike these worlds. For example in Brave New World, John the Savage comes in and tells…

Because Aldous Huxley was concerned about the dangers of scientific progress, he wrote a novel predicting a future in which technology dominates mankind. In Huxley’s Brave New World, John perceives the New World society – which he had high hopes for – as wicked, disgusting, and foolish. John disagrees with many aspects of this morally corrupt society: open sexuality, hypnopaedia, use of a brainwashing drug, and lack of individualism. During his experience in the New World, John befriends Bernard…

President John F. Kennedy once said “conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” The concept of conformity and individuality is clearly illustrated in the novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. Like most dystopian novels, Fahrenheit 451 contains a damaged society in which the people use technology as a distraction to avoid any critical thinking. The lack of meaningful relationships that the masses have with their family displays technology’s negative impact on this society.…

enslave humanity. Science and technology were found and invented by humans. In 1894, Guglielmo Marconi made the first radio; Now we have iPhone X. Our lives are full of science and technology. It is hard to not using them even if it is just a simple action like calling one’s friend. Some people may start to question whether we are benefiting while using technology or we are being controlled by the technology. After watching the movie, I think that the advance of science and technology enslave…

The idea of Utopia came about through Thomas More’s Utopia. More’s idea of his utopia society is where there is no class, everyone is of the same level and wears the same clothes except to distinguish between male and female. Everybody look the same, act the same and just practically doing the same thing everyday without any freedom to do things they want to or they would probably never wish to as they are expose to the outside world just in their own Utopia society. Furthermore, the housing and…

literature and many other things. “I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin” (Huxley, 242). He questions why the people can’t be exposed to things he knows and loves. Unlike, Brave New World, in The Truman Show for thirty years Truman doesn’t question the town he lives in or the people he meets. He blindly accepts the world around him as real. Later he becomes more observant and realizes that people are watching him and…
