Mr. Frederick Time travel is one of the most interesting topic in science fiction. Time travel is usually depicted in movies such as "Back to the Future," "Time Machine," or Star Trek, you will see people hopping in strange machines or using a device that will take them back and forth through time. At one point almost every kid's dream or science fiction fanatic's vast imagination consist of some sort of time traveling to change their past or to go to the future. Time travel can fulfill our dreams of going back to the past and meeting a inspirational hero or reliving a historic event. There are many reason for why humans would love to time travel one day. You can change the past or relive a very important moment or if you are really curious go into the future. In class we watched a time travel episode where a woman who was kidnapped and raped in her teens, went back in time and killed serial killers/rapist who had been convicted and executed in the present. In theory she is killing these serial killers before they have yet to kill or maybe even think about killing someone. In the end she killed 20 men and saved 85 women. However, I believe this is morally wrong and was unjust for her to do it. She killed these men who have not killed or maybe even think about killing anyone yet to change the present. It would have been just if she actually try to change their mind about killing the victims. If you could persuade them in not killing their victims than that would have been much better, rather than killing them when they were innocent. If I could time travel I would least likely to go back to the 1930s-40s. This was when World War 2 started, a weapon of mass destruction was launched, and the largest genocide occurred, The Holocaust. A number of new technology and ideology came forth which made the war and each nation much more deadlier, for example the German Blitzkrieg, Concentration Camps, Japanese Kamikaze, and the deadliest weapon of

    If you look back to every science fiction film or book, you will find that almost all these works are created in respect to their controversial time periods. Books and films like Uncle Tom’s Cabin, American Psycho, Animal Farm, 1984, and Brave New World are all works that hold a significant historical background. Films and novels simply cannot be made without any context; however, the best books and films, and the most controversial ones, were created when the world appeared dull. They were created when life became dark and frightening technological advancements were around the horizon. These outlets were created to show people that actions have consequences, and if humans continue on the wrong path then this is how the world will eventually…

    Both The Time-Traveler’s Wife by Niffenegger and in The Time Machine by Wells present the reader with the idea of time travel despite being written almost 200 years apart. Niffenegger, however, as a modern writer with a modern audience, allows her protagonist to travel through time on the whim of a genetic disorder, perhaps picking this method as genetics are at the forefront of modern science. Wells on the other hand, writing at the height of the industrial revolution, has his protagonist create a Time Machine in order to travel to the future, an invention which would intrigue his readers allowing the impossible to merely become the improbable. In both narratives, due to their movement through time, the protagonists face danger and therefore the theme of survival is a prominent one.…

    “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury and “Nethergrave” by Gloria Skurzynski were good, well written science fiction stories. Both stories used technology to greatly change the life of the main characters. “A Sound of Thunder” involved dinosaurs and a time machine in which the characters used to go back in time. The time machine was built to go to the stories setting in a jungle, sixty million years in the past. In “Nethergrave”, the main character, Jeremy, choses to get sucked into the virtual world instead of staying the real world after having a quite embarrassing and lonely day. This stories setting seemed to be in the present time but did not say for sure.…

    10 Things I Hate About You, a film directed by Gil Junger, is a great movie that people still watch even though it is almost 15 years old. The film is based on Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, but has been made to be understood by people in the 90's. America has made some huge technological advances since the 17th century. Technology plays a huge part in our life from the internet to even the movies. The film explores the ideas of dating, individualism and trust. In contrast to The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You was created to encourage female independence and control, a huge event in American history that effected the way both of them were written. Even though , the film still results to traditional views on dating and the archetypal “knight in shining armour” that every girl should find. With previous sexist views aside, and further use of the five elements of fiction writing; plot, characters, setting, theme and style, The Taming of the Shrew has been transformed into a teenage classic, in the form of 10 Things I Hate About You.…
