    The journey of a ship's crew taken hostage by an eccentric submarine captain, in a time when the cast-iron monster baffled the educated mind. "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is a classic that combines the inventive mind of the author, Jules Verne, and modern technology to create a psuedo realistic world that paved the way for the steam punk genre. It entrances the human's unquenching desire for discovery at every turn. Although having a superb storyline, I find that at a few times the amount of scientific nomenclature bogs down the storyline with long monotonous passages. This has a few of its own advantages but often has its own drawbacks.…

    In Rebecca Kanner’s Sinners and the Sea and Yasmina Reza’s The God of Carnage the human capacity to commit violence is emphasized. Kanner portrays violence during the time of Noah time before and during the flood. The sinners of the town of Sorum, as well as some members of Noah’s family, commit acts of violence toward one another. Reza portrays violence with the same intensity as Kanner, but with a limited cast of characters. The difference between the two portrayals of violence is that Kanner uses evil as a transformative force, while Reza depicts evil as an end. Kanner is hopeful that evil restores the good, while Reza believes that evil does not bring positive outcomes.…
