back to the furture
The year was 1985. Marty McFly lives with his unambitious family in Hill Valley, California. His father, George McFly, is bullied by his supervisor, Bill Tannen, while his mother, Lorraine McFly, is an out-of-shape drinker. Marty’s underachieving older siblings, Dave and Linda McFly, also live in the household. At dinner, Lorraine recalls how she and George first fell in love when her father accidentally hit George with his car.
Marty meets his friend, scientist Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown, late at night in the parking lot of a deserted shopping mall, where Doc reveals a time machine made from a modified DeLorean DMC-12. The vehicle’s time displacement is powered by plutonium, which supplies 1.21 gigawatts of power to a device Doc calls the “flux capacitor” Doc explains that the car travels to a pre-set date upon reaching 88 miles per hour; as an example to Marty, Doc enters the date November 5, 1955 the date he came up with the concept of the flux capacitor. Before Doc can make his first trip, Libyan terrorists, from whom he stole the plutonium, arrive and shoot him. Marty attempts to escape using the machine and inadvertently activates the time machine where he travels back to 1955 and finds himself without the plutonium needed for the return trip.
While exploring the 1955 Hill Valley, Marty meets the teenage George who is being bullied by Biff Tannen. As George is about to be hit by Lorraine’s father’s car, Marty pushes him out of the way and is knocked out by impact. Consequently Lorraine becomes in love with Marty instead of George.
Marty goes to find Doc, telling him he is from the future and wants to return to 1985. Doc explains that the only available power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of energy is a bolt of lightning will strike the courthouse clock tower. Doc makes a plan to harness the lighting strike to power the DeLorean’s flux capacitor. When they examine a fading photograph of Marty with his siblings, they determine that Marty has

    The book that I would like to do for this book report is called Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. In this book it talks about a good story about a boy willing to do anything for a dog that he loves. While with the author some things that I found interesting is that she is best known for her children and young adult stories that are in fiction. Also before she even started writing she worked as a teacher and an editor before writing full time om 1960. This is very interesting because it shows that even though she didn’t start off as a writer she still had big success onto what she wrote and so on.…

    We are shown this several times throughout the movie but none is more apparent than when the group is on the boat. Marty is frequently shown as above the other members of the group due to Estes using a camera angle which looks up at Marty. This shows Marty as powerful and in full control. Estes goes on to show a close-up of Marty, again on the boat, which focuses in on his eyes. This allows the viewer to see the pure anger which Marty is facing. Again, Estes uses close-ups to present Marty as the dominant character, and the true villain in the film. Finally, Marty is again show as a villain as he; Rocky and Clyde leave the pizza shop. Marty is positioned in the center of the three showing his dominance. This shows that he is above the other two, making him a villain.

    The younger brother in the story, Marty, is round and static. Throughout the entire story, the reader is given insight into Marty’s thoughts and feelings, such as, “I was sorry I’d ever bought it, though, because of Stephan, and I was also sorry I’d bought color” (Erdrich 5). Marty does not openly convey this statement to his family. Marty’s beliefs and values do not change over the course of the story.

    To start off, George and Lennie have been friends for a very long time, and their story begins in a town called Weed. Lennie, a “huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders” (Steinbeck 2), is mentally retarded. Lennie lived with his Aunt Clara, and she treated him very well. Since he liked soft things, she would give him mice to pet, but, Lennie killed every one she gave him. So, when she died, George wouldn’t give him mice to pet, and that ultimately led to them fleeing from Weed. Their departure from Weed was abrupt, and was caused when a woman in a red dress got the wrong idea. As stated before, Lennie liked to touch soft things, and he started to touch the women in the red dress’ dress. She thought that he was going to rape her, which is quite understandable, for him being a “huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders” (2). So she screamed that he was going to rape her, and Lennie and George fled from Weed. George, a man that is…

    He represents a responsible common man who takes care of another common man that has disabled with living life and reaches their dream together. Like most caregivers, George was extremely nice and caring to Lennie, most of the time. Milton's rationality and concern for Lennie urges him to compel Lennie to remove the aged mouse from his pocket only because he knows that it is not healthy for him to be carrying it around. He would lose patience at times and ramble about what a hardship it was to drag Lennie everywhere. He needs Lennie’s friendship to stave off his major fear, which is loneliness. He is loyal to Lennie because he knows that he is an innocent but outwardly his attitude is one of intolerance. George has a strong understanding of the possibilities in a situation and, as Lennie’s self-appointed protector, he has to think and plan for him too. But deep down it was clear that their relationship was something they both needed.…

Marty then meets his future dad at the dinner where his dad is getting bullied by Biff, so “Marty tries to intervene and help him, which was a bad idea because then he had to try and escape from Biff or he would have then again gotten bullied for not thinking before doing something” (BTTF I).

    The extent of time travel is different for these franchises. Time is one of the most complicated ideas in all of history. When it comes to the time travel perspective Doctor Who is much more complicated than the simple Back to the Future model of time travel. In Back to the Future, Marty accidentally goes back in time and stops his parents from ever meeting. Throughout the movie he tries to get his parents to fall in love. When he begins to fail at getting them to fall in love, he starts to fade away. This idea seems to be pretty straightforward. However, you need to take into account the fact if Marty was never born how did he travel back and stop them from meeting. In Doctor Who it goes much more in-depth and time travel gets more difficult to understand. If the Doctor was faced with the same situation as Marty, a paradox would occur and he would have been from a different time stream where his parents got married, and he wouldn’t have faded away.…
