It was cold and resembled fresh fallen snow but was much creamier and wetter than any other was after dinner dessert. The guests were delighted

I was a bit sceptical when choosing Burton G. Malkiel’s “A Random Walk Down Wall Street” as my book for my literature review assignment. This book consisted of four hundred and sixty one pages; my life was over‚ or so I thought. Nevertheless‚ I began reading it and surprisingly the book was very interesting.

literature attacks human vices through a different route: the metaphor of a futuristic corrupt society. In Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron and Disney Pixar’s Wall-E‚ dystopian societies work to alert the audience of current issues that‚ if not resolved‚ could negatively alter the world. While both societies appear farfetched‚ Wall-E’s prediction of Earth in 2805 is more plausible. To comprehend a dystopia‚ one must initially ask‚ what is a utopia?
