They both teach important lessons about people and who they are and how each person’s life choices can affect more than just them. I just believe A Sound of Thunder teaches a more important lesson about how everything you do and say affect the world not just yourself is much more defined then Nethergrave.

His father is on his deathbed, and he tells Henry “I did it for you”, mentioning the letters that Henry had sent and received. Henrys’ father acted selfishly by stopping the communication between Henry and Keiko.
What is the nature of consciousness? Of life? In exploring these issues, a science fiction universe can have an advantage over a “standard” fiction setting, because it gives writers greater freedom and a larger universe in which to pose their questions. The best science fiction investigates the essence of life using conflicts out of the bounds of our contemporary world as a catalyst. Because science fiction is inherently speculative, sometimes one must forgive small holes in a premise.
Through the bewitching stories we see that Barth is exploring an entirely new style of writing, sometimes confusing, sometimes fragmented, but always captivating. The Literature of Exhaustion is said to be a contradicting document due to the fact that it comes from a novelist, however John Barth has made it his responsibility to change the face of literary art, and the movement known as postmodernism. In his essays he discusses the importance of a flexible literature a genre that can be continually reinvented with out changing grammar or words. He attempts to do this in the form of novels, such as The Sot-Weed Factor, and novellas collectively known as Chimera, and a collection of short stories, Lost in the Funhouse. The collection of short stories is a great example of his idea of Postmodernity.

Nikola Tesla is not a well-known inventor because he, wasn’t focused on getting recognition, Thomas Edison pushed Nikola’s inventions out of the lime light., his inventions weren’t profitable or practical for the time and he also suffered from mental disorders.

The Impact of Science Fiction on Historical and Modern Literature The genre of science fiction arose out of modern man’s search for answers to the problems of life through the medium of science. In the period known as the Enlightenment, many exciting discoveries in the natural sciences informed people about the qualities of the earth, and the laws of nature, and this encouraged writers to imagine other worlds where things might be different than they are on this planet. In the twentieth century this resulted in a fascination with space and space travel, and science fiction grew in popularity. Progress in fields like psychology and sociology produced also many theories about human nature, and the genre of fantasy, which rests on older myths and legends, arose to explore dimensions of the human psyche. Both genres continue to be popular at the start of the twenty first century, although mainstream and traditional literature is regarded by some as more worthwhile, simply because of its longer and more respected tradition.
