typical science fiction story‚ I find myself completely perplexed. But then again‚ what is exactly a ‘typical science fiction story’? Because many critics‚ I believe‚ would never say that nothing in the body of work of this eccentric writer is ‘typical’. Rather he would show all signs of ‘atypicality’‚ of eluding any specific genre classifications. But‚ then again‚ none of literary critics seem to agree or‚ rather‚ agree to disagree on the subject of the definition of term ‘science fiction’. But even

Gothic fiction combines the elements of Horror and Romance. This genre consists of fear‚ darkness‚ heroes‚ villains‚ and love. If you ask me those are very contrasting subjects. The name “Gothic Fiction” comes from medieval architecture. That is why this style of writing took place mostly in the medieval era. The writing style puts emphasis on atmosphere‚ using its surrounds to build suspense in the reader. Horace Walpole is believed to be the inventor of the genre. His first

However‚ there are several vital

Opening my first Holmes book‚ A Study in Scarlet‚ and becoming enthralled with the characters‚ the language‚ and the mystery‚ was a turning point in my life. “The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes‚” Holmes said in The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Ethical Values in Pulp Fiction Pulp fiction is a movie filled with drugs‚ violence‚ gambling‚ and pop iconography‚ describing how real-life society is going towards the “death of god” era; a life without morals. A lot of movie critics would say that Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent (John Travolta) possess no ethical values‚ no sense of morality. They also say that the movie does not convey a message. The movie does convey a message; Quentin Tarantino just masks it behind the street-savvy
