About This Book Welcome! Space Mythos: Science Fiction is a March 2020 OER designed to accompany other novels in an introductory science fiction course. The Lumen course shell is adapted from my American Literature 1 OER, which in turn was created from materials originally developed by the State Board of Community Technical Colleges (SBCTC) of Washington State. So this is a modified version of the Lumen American Literature I text. The original version of this book was released under a CC-BY license and is copyrighted by Lumen Learning. The changes to this book listed are released under a CC-BY-SA license and are copyright by Joshua Dickinson of Jefferson Community College in Watertown, NY. I also adapted a Writer’s Handbook resource for the College that goes into far more depth in coverage of the writing process and MLA style. Other OERs I created may be of use in teaching the writing process and are included at: https://sunyjefferson.libguides.com/JCCOERtextbooks Notes on Using This OER Where possible, I listed URLs so that users of print copies of the text could locate the source. Any of the resources could be located through an author or title search. Alternately, adding “PDF” or looking in Advanced Searches under .edu domains often turns up the resources.

My contact information is jdickinson@sunyjefferson and my office number is (315) 786-2221. While the readings are predominately science fictions classics, I adopt a more diverse approach than the make-up of the authors may suggest. That focus on feminist, postcolonial, myth critical, and New Historical approaches is best approached–at least for me–with longer works. CC licensed content, Shared previously About This Book.

License: CC BY-NC-SA: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 7 Space Mythos: Science Fiction 2 Sample Essay Assignment: Neuromancer Essay 1: Neuromancer (750 points) Directions Write a three‐to‐four‐page literary analysis on one of the following topics. For support, cite Neuromancer as well as at least two scholarly library database articles, ebooks, or books. Use Arial or Times New Roman (10 or 12 point) font. Have no extra spaces between paragraphs. Only papers in MLA format will be accepted. For passing credit, you must include parenthetical citations and a works cited page. See MLA Documentation site (on its library website) for more help. Papers will lose at least a letter grade for citation or format errors. Topics (Choose One) Science fiction often concerns itself with the unavailability of meaningful action in a crazy world. How do Case’s actions represent both the meaningful and the absurd? How do Asian and Rastafarian cultures get used purposefully in Neuromancer? How does the transcendental nature of technology get shown in Neuromancer? Defend an arguable claim. How does AI get shown creatively in Gibson’s novel? Why does AI matter? Using solid logic and close analysis of textual evidence, provide a series of well‐proved reasons that are related to your thesis. Like your quotes, your major points should be connected logically to the thesis. You must cite summaries, paraphrases, or quotes. Audience Your audience knows the texts, so avoid plot retelling. Avoid chronological organization. Show your own organizational style, in order to convince your audience. Unless strongly supported, your opinion will not count for much with these good readers. Thesis Include your arguable claim in your introduction. Typically, writers lead up to this statement. A thesis is a provable opinion about which reasonable people may disagree. Make a worthwhile, provable claim about the texts. You decide what is worthwhile—just remember to avoid proving a basic fact. For example, proving that a guy Oedipus got punished tells us little. Nobody would argue this, right? Go for significantwhy and how issues relating to the material. Format and Strategy Remember that “analysis” means “a breaking up,” so avoid following the chronological order of the plot. Interpret the specifics of quotes you use. More of you need to deal with the words in the quotes. Work to make the meaning of the quote evident to your reader. Relate it to your paragraph topic—or relate the paragraph topic back to the thesis. If it is important enough to be used, the quote must have clear, logical interpretation. Avoid contractions. Use present tense. Avoid fragments in explanations. While we use MLA pagination for the works cited, it is not consider a page. Write enough full pages and then add a works cited page.

  • Candide and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics)
    oxford world’ s classics CANDIDE and other stories Voltaire was the assumed name of François-Marie Arouet (1694– 1778). Born into a well-to-do Parisian family, he was educated at the leading Jesuit college in Paris. Having refused to follow his father and elder brother into the legal profession he soon won widespread acclaim for Œdipe (1718), the first of some twenty-seven tragedies which he continued to write until the end of his life. His national epic La Henriade (1723) confirmed his reputation as the leading French literary figure of his generation. Following a quarrel with the worthless but influential aristocrat, the Chevalier de Rohan, he was forced into exile in England. This period (1726–8) was particularly formative, and his Letters concern- ing the English Nation (1733) constitute the first major expression of Voltaire’s deism and his subsequent lifelong opposition to religious and political oppression. Following the happy years (1734–43) spent at Cirey with his mistress Mme du Châtelet in the shared pursuit of several intellectual enthusiasms, notably the work of Isaac Newton, he enjoyed a brief interval of favour at court during which he was appointed Historiographer to the King. After the death of Mme du Châtelet in 1749 he finally accepted an invitation to the court of Frederick of Prussia, but left in 1753 when life with this particular enlightened despot became intolerable. In 1755, after temporary sojourn in Colmar, he settled at Les Délices on the outskirts of Geneva. He then moved to nearby Ferney in 1759, the year Candide was published.

  • Connected Isolation: Screens, Mobility, and Globalized Media Culture
    Connected Isolation: Screens, Mobility, and Globalized Media Culture A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Stephen Francis Groening IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Keya Ganguly, Adviser December 2008 © Stephen Francis Groening 2008 i Acknowledgements When one embarks on an academic project on contemporary culture, invariably everyone has an opinion. So I should mention at the outset that I have gained from the numerous conversations I have had with strangers on airplanes, in hotel elevators, the cable repair guy, house painters, the staff of restaurants and coffeehouses – in short anyone who ever asked me, “What do you do?” in the past three years. This is hardly a cooperative project; nonetheless, I could not have completed it or embarked upon it without the assistance and hard work of others. I wrote the first chapter, “We See Ourselves as Others See Us” with the financial assistance of the University of Minnesota’s Harold Leonard Memorial Film Fellowship and Grant, which allowed me to travel to Washington, D.C. and perform archival research at the National Museum of American History Archives Center and the Library of Congress. I am enormously grateful to the staff at the Archives Center who assisted me: Wendy Shay, Reuben M. Jackson, Kay Peterson, and Susan B. Strange. I am also grateful to Rosemary C. Hanes, who helped my research at the Library of Congress. I presented a version of that chapter at the 2007 “Media History: What Are the Issues?” conference and benefited enormously from the conversations that followed.

We have a wide variety of creative writing from poetry to personal writing. In addition, we have a selection of articles about Christmas. It may seem ages ago but read them through and make your own decision. Is Christmas overrated? As always, if you would like to contribute come and meet the team – now on a Tuesday in Room 36A. Enjoy! The Test Valley Telegraph Team 2 Is Christmas Overrated? Ladies and gentlemen, I am here in front of you today to speak to you about the idea that Christmas is over-rated. Have you ever really thought about Christmas day itself? I bet that if you did all you would see is a stressful, crazy and manic time! I agree that Christmas is nice because some families are all together. There is the fact that some families are not all together, for a variety of different reasons, such as: some parents are in the military and are away over Christmas, some are without a family or have parents who have separated. Christmas has been around for centuries. When it first came around it was an act of kindness. A man called Saint Nicholas would give money to poor families every year so they could buy or do things they needed, but over the time more and more traditions from different places have been added, making it over-rated.

  • Tubular Bells Iii
    TUBULAR BELLS III Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells III (28 Agosto 1998) Il motivo di una vita, un’altra rilettura e re-interpretazione del primo album. Impressioni scolpite in un’anima che si esprimono e riverberano in nuovi arrangiamenti. Viaggio attraverso una notte; la musica del vento. Da ascoltare con le cuffie, al buio, nel silenzio della notte. Un viaggio attraverso una notte fosca, pesante, densa di presagi, paure, ricordi. Un album psichedelico, espressionistico, e infine catartico. Ci leggo le note di dolore di mio padre, ritrovo le notti insonni della mia gioventù presto messa da parte per la necessità di crescere, ferita da una scomparsa inattesa. Ritrovo l’inquietudine notturna di sempre. Ci leggo ancora una comunione tra me e il Vento, tra me e l’Indefinito. Un album fatto di respiri affannosi, corse nel buio, chiari di luna, batticuore, pianti di disperazione, pianti di bambino, preoccupazione. Infine, la notte è rotta dalla voce squillante e solare di una campana percossa con decisione che risuona da un luogo lontano dell’Infinito, che viene trasportata dal Vento dalla cima di una montagna. Cercami, sono nel Vento. Ascoltami, sono nell’aria. Guardami, sono quello che vuoi vedere, sono quello che tu sarai. Così cercherò mio padre; così cerco il mio Dio. 1. The Source Of Secrets Tuono. Vento. Pioggia. Il viaggio inizia. La notte inizia. La sorgente dei segreti, la notte, come cento altre notti insonni produce le sue preoccupazioni: “Ci sono tanti pericoli; tu dove sei?”. Produce il pensiero per gli altri, per la loro salvezza e incolumità, fa sentire più forti i legami pur deboli con le persone amate.
