It’s an underlying fact that humans die, show emotion and have feelings, grasping the concept of humanity in contrast to also known as the “other” an imaginary based element contemplated in the genre humanist science fiction. Humanist science fiction is a genre largely based on about alternative possible worlds of future. A text that has been widely known for its humanist and scientific principles is a wide world known book also been acknowledged for its genre war of the worlds written by HG Wells inclusive a film in relation to the genre humanist science fiction is a film by Stanley Kubrick A 2001 space odyssey. The progression of exploring humanist and scientific perspective allows the audience to have a vast intellect. The central theme that underlies through both the text and film is through the many overcoming obstacles humans protect one another, learn to survive with hope leading to humanity victorious. This sense is built up from the many uses of poetic devices such as imagery, sound, voice, mood and atmosphere.
Both text war of the worlds and film a 2001 space odyssey the orientation has built up from humanity finds a mysterious obviously extra- terrestrial object also known as the “other” in this two cases in war of the worlds the Martians and A 2001 space the computer HAL is symbolised as the “other”. The composer creates the ‘’other” through the clever use of imagery enabling the concept of the “other” to be surreal for both novel and film prior to this H.G wells and Kubrick have both produced the translucence of the “other” through a binary. The composer creates the other through the uses of imagery, voice and sound. The technique imagery associates in the creation of the Martians as it’s described in the text “metallic, shiny, glittering, long tentacle like” and HAL’s described as a “singular, red, metallic, shiny, no limbs, angular, not organic, square” illustrating a vivid creation of the other.

    Cinema is a set of landscapes accompanied by a story. However, landscapes tell a story of their own. They tell more than just the story, but the underlying thoughts behind the film. This can be seen in Blade Runner by Ridley Scott, THX 1138 by George Lucas, and Children of Men by Alfonso Cuaron, as the landscapes help develop the complexity of the story. The directors of these films use setting and landscape to express and contribute to the development of the main argument of each film.…

    he conveys the perspective of human conflict as being gruesome, monstrous and full of unthinkable hardships and reveals the reality of war. He conveys this by using strong emotive verbs that make a graphic image in the mind of the reader and emphasises the pain and suffering the soldiers are going through for example in Dulce Et Decorum Est he uses the words “choking”, “guttering”, “smothering” and “drowning”. These words are disturbing and really highlight the reality of war and get his perspective across to the reader. Similarly he uses onomatopoeia and imagery to create the horrendous sights and sounds of war in the responders mind. In Anthem for Doomed Youth he uses onomatopoeia and sound imagery in the lines “Only the shuttering riffles’ rapid rattle “and “The shrill, demented choir of wailing shellssfdsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-…

    Fiction novels and short stories are some of the most interesting and exciting texts there could be. Since fiction does not necessary has to be realistic at all, the limit an author has for writing a story is as far as his/her creativity can take him/her. Therefore, science fiction has a big variation of stories that range from the unthinkable to the impossible and that is what allows authors to create great pieces of work. In the novels Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, The Bicentennial Man, by Isaac Asimov and The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, readers can clearly see straight away that all of these novels are fiction just by simply reading the beginning of them. These three novels share common aspects of fiction while…

    E.T. moved movie audiences with a story of friendship between an alien and a human. Star Wars stretched the human imagination and demonstrated the possibility of an enterprise with human and alien life forms out there in the galaxy. The Stargate series adds the concept of time travel and the use of alien technology to defend the earth from hostile aliens. It depicts a complex relationship between humans and aliens in strategic alliances driven by mutual interest and the greed for power and influence on a universal level. Hollywood is dynamic on the issue of aliens because it has cast good aliens such as Superman and those that are a threat as seen in Independence Day. In essence the question as whether we are really alone has been taken more seriously by the movie industry and they have found a ripe market for their innovative ideas relying on the human fascination with the existence of more advanced life forms. Therefore the big screen has been one of the fundamental fueling agents that have tried to answer question and promotes the fact that we are not alone.…

    Niemöller would give the advice to speak up and speak out for what you believe in or to help someone because later on there might be someone left to speak out for you. The speaker would most likely not agree with that perspective, from the first passage it seems to me the speaker is more of a silent learner. But something could happen to him like with Niemöller where he didn't speak up and then there was no one left to speak up for him. Not being silent could help not only you but a lot of people later on. Niemöller learned that if he would have spoke up there could have possibly been someone left to speak up for him. The Speaker should have spoke up because he could have saved a lot of people like the mother being misused by her children and being neglected. The speaker could have spoke up and possibly saved that mother or made her life easier to deal with. To watch cruel things happen and not speak up will come to haunt you in you end. There could be additional consequence to speaking up where your opinion was not necessarily wanted but it could also help.…

    Moreover, Weldes’ analysis of the role that science fiction plays in accommodating radical thought and questioning is perhaps his strongest claim. If there is one thing that makes science fiction unique, it would be its ability to make its audience imagine of a different world – regardless of what that world looks like. As Weldes articulates, work of science fiction starts with what is known, and give a picture of what the imagined world would look like. With the examples of how science fiction has inspired individuals to pursue their work toward that dream, Weldes articulates his argument…

    The boy was all over the vulnerable looking kid. If I had listened to the siren call of the chocolate biscuits that were sitting on my desk, it would have been too late by the time I opened the classroom door. I would not have had to pull the boys apart. My God, I thought one was going to claw the other to bits! I had to call the parents in of course; we can’t have that kind of behaviour on school premises. But I was a bit thrown by the parents’ reaction, they didn’t seem to want to know what had lead to the incident – they didn’t give the lad a chance to explain ……
