Science Fiction

Depending on your precise definition of "popular science fiction" and "accepted", that would most likely be either Jules Verne or Isaac Asimov. Just watch the protests that result to see why this question has no "answer"!

Mary Shelley has been given that distinction for her novel 'Frankenstein'

the myths of Daedalus can be termed gadgetry science fiction and go all the way back to the bronze age.

Science fiction, particularily those works with a social angle of presentation, can sharpen one"s critical thinking skills and often have larger themes than the cast of characters suggests. Being sci-fi they can sometimes attack and critique the larger society. the multi-level plot is very adaptive to sci-fi in some films normative. there are deeper issues in ( Captain Nemo and the Underwater City) which owes more to various Atlantis novels than the Verne skipper- this was a mistake- what if it was Commissar antiKash and the Underwater sub-base, as the REAL idea may have been. There were very real issues in the film, and how the Nemo government blunted tendencies towards escape by such artifices as ( All Seas"s Day) a sort of aquatic Olympics- do we not have similar things in out society called ( Yankees) to divert attention from very real problems? the social commentary angle gave the film a cutting edge not found in others, would you want to be an anonymous citizen in a captive breeding program, one is reminded of the asocial but maybe real argument- what"s the big diff between Roseland ( a dance hall) and Rikers Island? it"s food for thought, social-commentary science fiction. not all sci fi is this type.

In the book "Flush" by Carl Hiaasen, Noah Underwood is described as a determined and clever young boy who has a strong sense of justice. He is portrayed as having dark hair and a mischievous smile, often wearing worn-out t-shirts and shorts.

Dr. Jekyll compared Mr. Utterson to a plaster image in the dinner party conversation.

1. Page 21. "He rarely went abroad by daylight, but at twilight he would go out muffled up invisibly, whether the weather were cold or not, and he chose the loneliest paths and those most over-shadowed by trees and banks." (It is an irony that Griffin must cover his invisibility with something designed to make him even more invisible. His condition has thus become a burden rather than a benefit.)

2. Page 103. "To do such a thing would be to transcend magic. And I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a man, -the mystery, the power, the freedom. Drawbacks I saw none. You have only to think! And I, a shabby, poverty-struck, hemmed-in demonstrator, teaching fools in a provincial college, might suddenly become-this." (Griffin is recounting his feelings of exaltation when he realized he had discovered the means of becoming invisible.)

3. Page 114-115. "A feeling of extraordinary elation took the place of my anger as I sat outside the window and watched these four people...trying to understand the riddle of my behavior....I was invisible, and I was only just beginning to

realize the extraordinary advantage my invisibility gave me. My head was already teeming with plans of all the wild and wonderful things I had now impunity to do." (Having deceived his first group of "victims," Griffin is obsessed with the visions of things he can get away with.)

4. Page 122. "Weary, cold, painful, inexpressibly wretched, and still but half convinced of my invisible quality, I began this new life to which I am committed. I had no refuge, no appliances, no human being in the world in whom I could confide...I was half minded to accost some passer-by and throw myself upon his mercy. But I knew too clearly the terror and brutal cruelty my advances would evoke...My soul object was to get shelter from the snow, to get myself covered and warm; then I might hope to plan. But even to me, an invisible man, the rows of London houses stood latched, barred and bolted impregnably." (At this point Griffin still seems to have some consideration for people's reactions toward an invisible human. Nevertheless, he has already discovered that being invisible isn't as "wild and wonderful" as he had thought.)

5. Page 139. "The more I thought it over,...the more I realized what a helpless absurdity an invisible man was,-in a cold and dirty climate and a crowded civilized city. Before I made this mad experiment I had dreamt of a thousand advantages. That afternoon it seemed all disappointment. I went over the heads of things a man reckons desirable. No doubt invisibility made it possible to get them, but it made it impossible to enjoy them when they were got. Ambition-what is the good of pride of place when you cannot appear there? What is the good of the love of woman when her name must needs be Delilah? I have no taste for politics, for the black-guardisms of fame, for philanthropy, for sport. What was I do to? And for this I had become a wrapped-up mystery, a swathed and bandaged caricature of a man." (This is one of the last sane realizations that Griffin could claim. Once he realized what he had done to himself, his only hope was in getting back what he had lost, but he had not developed his theories in reverse. The awareness of his situation leads to his insanity; if he cannot reverse his condition, his only option-to his demented way of thinking-is to use his invisibility to demand the comforts of life from people who would be to terrorized to refuse him.)

6. Page 147. "He has cut himself off from his own kind. His blood be upon his own head." Kemp has been explaining Griffin's intentions to the police. In devising the plan for murder and a "reign of terror," Griffin has become "inhuman," and completely selfish. He "cut himself off" first by creating a condition which would force him to the fringes of society. In planning to terrorize that society for his own ends, he divorces himself from all sense of human compassion.

Throughout the Hunger Games series, it is estimated that hundreds of tributes died during the various Games. The exact number of deaths is not specified in the books or movies.

The story "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne can best be classified as a dark romantic allegory. It delves into themes of sin, temptation, and the struggle between good and evil, using symbolic characters and settings to explore deeper moral and spiritual questions.

I suppose they can reproduce in some way. Maybe by cloning or using humans as subjects rather than intercourse. Then again who's to say they exist. Or if you mean Mexicans than the answer would be yes (may I add "ALOT!").

The characters in the book "The Last Book in the Universe" are: A teenage boy named Spaz, an old man named Ryter, a "proov" girl named Lanaya, Spaz's sister named Bean, and a little boy named "Little Face" who doesn't have an official name. There is also the leader of the "Bully Bangers" named Billy Bizmo. These are the main characters, but the book consists of many other characters that are not as important. :)

Plants are classified based on characteristics such as their vascular system (presence or absence of xylem and phloem), reproductive structures (seeds, spores, flowers), and whether they produce seeds or not (seed-bearing or non-seed-bearing plants).

No, there are no known science-fiction films that specifically address Anastasia and time travel together. Anastasia has been more commonly portrayed in historical dramas or animated films that focus on her life as a Russian princess.

Yes. Up to a point, though you don"t find it alongside Heinlein, Verne, or Bradbury, the seminal Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley is in a sense a (Gothic) science-fiction novel on the artificial life theme- nearly always considered taboo. here"s one. Up to a point- and this was written much later than Frankenstein- Pinochhio ( lit, lit wooden boy) can be considered a juvenile-toned down adaptation of Frankenstein. The inventor ( Gepetto) roughly little Joe"s motives for creating the living puppet are not really examined- now if it was a female android- wow- the Churchmen would bang the gong to ( Full Stop!).

It is practically beyond argument that the (Little Yellow Pills) in the popular song Mother"s little Helper)- by the Rolling stones, refer to Valium in 5MG doses. What a Drag it is coming down..... Nothing to do with science fiction, but something akin to Drug abuse- a real Dagger of the Mind!

House of night isn't being made into a movie or a tv show. Who knows, maybe it will be made into one in the future, but not right now.

What the person above wrote is incorrect. The movies have not yet been made and haven't even had castings, but the movies have been optioned to be created into movies. There are two directors involved and a screenplay has been written. Now all we have to do is wait.

The movie "The Andromeda Strain" is based on the book of the same name by Michael Crichton. While the movie closely follows the major plot points of the book, there are some differences in details and character portrayal between the two.

H.G. Wells's most read book is "The War of the Worlds," a science fiction novel that explores the idea of alien invasion and the resulting chaos and destruction caused on Earth.

there will come soft rains was written in the late 1940s, to early 1950. this was during the beginning of the cold war, the ultimate stalemate between two nations of whom were previously allies. How strange? any way, coming together in their invasion of europe in ww2, the armies collided in Germany, forcing themselves to fight over territory. it became a degenerate spiral down, flexing their muscles, shouting, trying to provoke the other to back down. World war two ended, and the fight truly began. America had been the first to truly flex, dropping the A-bombs on Japan. it was the ultimate threat "back off!" Russia, saw the American capabilities and began building bombs of their own, throwing up the "iron curtain" in the process. suspicion and anxiety are therefore the global climate in which Ray Bradbury wrote "there will come soft rains" was fraught with the ultimate and unknowing fear of the nuclear weapon. the advent of technology as a result of the muscle flexing stalemate and subsequent "one better" was alarming to say the least. There will come soft rains is a personal response to the emotion and fear of the civilian populations of the time period, and serves as a cautionary tale against the use of nuclear weapons.
