I was slumped back lazily‚ my feet sloppily propped up on the black dashboard of my sister’s Suzuki‚ and my eyes beginning to droop as Nickleback flowed out of the car’s speakers.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott are two texts that explore the conflicts between science and nature.

Both Tyrell and Victor are blinded by their achievements‚ their unethical actions becoming the harbingers of not only their doom‚ but the world and people around them. The creator’s Promethean hubris ultimately leads to their downfall. The texts

My favorite story we’ve read in class was The Call of the Wild. I liked this book because it talked about what the people and animals had to go thru and do in the Klondike gold rush.
