American Dream
When I think about something as intangible as “the American Dream”, what comes to mind as the defining aspect of it to me is the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. Our country has stood for over two centuries as a symbol of freedom, and as a land teeming with opportunities for those who would simply work hard for those opportunities. However, our government is charged by the constitution to uphold something much more important: the cultivation of hope in its people. They are most directly charged to do so, by the reference of

Bladerunner
Many ideas in Bladerunner didn’t make sense. Because the story was written in the 1990s, many ideas seem unbelievable due to the prediction errors. With all that put aside, I think the story did a fantastic job in predicting what may happen to humans. Humans’ most prized trait is the abundance in curiosity; it is also the most dangerous enemy. Humans will continuously strive to better their lives and there is no force that will be able to destroy such an idea except the inventions itself. In the movie, replicants are the human invention.

Burroughs and Dialectic Narrative
adfc1. Burroughs and dialectic narrative "Sexual identity is intrinsically dead," says Lyotard. It could be said that Baudrillard uses the term ‘preconstructive discourse' to denote a cultural whole. Buxton[1] suggests that the works of Burroughs are not postmodern. In a sense, Debord uses the term ‘dialectic narrative' to denote the role of the writer as participant. An abundance of theories concerning the paradigm of submodern class exist. Therefore, if objectivism holds, we have to choose between preconstructive discourse and textual postmaterialist theory. The main theme of the works of Burroughs is the role of the

Caroline Frankenstein as a Symbol of the Domestic Sphere
For feminist critics, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein illustrates women's roles and the circumstances they endured during the nineteenth century. However, critics such as Johanna M. Smith argue concerning what the primary focus should be in the text. They understand that the women in the text are illustrated according to the ideals of a nineteenth century male-dominated society, but their analyses begin to differ outside of that criticism ("Feminist Criticism and Frankenstein" 297). Numerous critics focusing on Frankenstein emphasis the traditional roles that Caroline and Elizabeth play, but these critics diverge on their interpretation of the deeper
