Wall-E Essay Disney’s film Wall-E is filled with adventure and romance, most importantly it delivers a message about taking care of the planet and not to rely on technology. The film starts with a lonely Wall-E preforming his robot duty (to compile trash into cubes) long after the Earth is lifeless. One auspicious day another robot; Eve landed on earth in search of living life, our protagonist Wall-E fell in love at first sight.

Wall-E also managed to make it on board, the ship took the two to the axiom; gigantic ship where the rest of the human race had become over weight and reliant on technology.
BUG BUILDING LAB - You and your partners will begin the "Bug Building" Lab on p. 76-77 Imagine that you are a designer for a toy company that makes toy alien bugs. The president of Bug Builders, Inc., wants new versions of the wildly popular Space Bugs, but he wants to use the bug parts that are already in the warehouse. It’s your job to come up with a new bug design. You have studied how traits are passed from one generation to another. You will use this knowledge to come up with new combinations of traits and assemble bug parts in new ways.
It was so popular that in 1972 Twentieth-Century Fox released a film version starring Joanne Woodward. The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds has been widely read and performed up to the present day. Its realistic portrayal of the struggles of young adults still resonates with audiences, even though it was written more than thirty-six years ago. An edition with a new introduction by Zindel was published in 1997. In it Zindel talks about the direct parallels between the characters and his own family, and notes how pleased he is that the play still speaks to modern audiences.
I, (1972). Ever since Science Fiction first appeared on film with George Melies’ A Trip To The Moon, (Meilies.G, 1902), it is a genre of film that has entertained, mesmerised, and provoked debate more than any other. The reason Science Fiction is so effective at this is because the topics and subjects that it uses, no matter how well hidden by special effects and being set in far off futures and alternate universes, are very human topics and subjects.

July 20, 1969, every American sat in front of their television screen ,if not with family and friends then with total strangers, to watch two men they have never met walk for first time on the moon. As time elapsed, America became one of the many nations intrigued by the achievement reached by mankind. After reviewing the six pieces with attention to detail and analysis, one can deduce that the non-avid reader of today would deduct a less meaningful attachment to the event then that of the 1960‘s. While the 1960’s audience found a significance to the Apollo 11 Launch the 21st century reader, whom experiences contrasting views of the event, creating controversy on the subject of the Apollo 11 Launch. As addressed by President Nixon in his
Chapter Two: The Parallel and Distributed Brain Josh Patterson 12/1/13 The author starts this chapter with the analogy of the scene from the movie the Men in Black where it the human brain is opened only to find a small alien inside with controls that lead one to believe that indeed there is an inner operator inside of us that controls our every actions and our behaviors. It was first believed that there we were born hard wired and ready to go. It was believed that mortality and intelligence were innate, and like the internet, us as humans had no boss. It was believed that we were hardwired with millions of choices and decisions that the brain allowed us to make choices dependent upon the situation. According to this, scientists believed

SCIENCE The timeline on page 10 offers an overview of scientific concerns in the 20th century and some exercises of comparison with Frankenstein. Robotics Consider also these recent articles about science in our present world and answer the questions that follow: EXTRACT ONE Richard Watson in Future Files states: The more technology becomes embedded in our lives the more we will run away from it By the year 2050 there will be two highly intelligent species on earth: genetically pure humans and technologically aided hybrid humans (naturals versus enhanced). Your toothbrush will be able to analyse your breath detect a disease and alert a doctor. We will move a cursor across a screen with our thoughts and exchange messages telepathically. Are we making history in the making?
But not for long, more and more ‘humans’ came down from the sky and started blending in with us, till we could no longer tell the difference between real humans and the outsiders. Then suddenly one day, something extraordinary happened, I was watching TV and suddenly a news flash came out saying: “All aliens, we are your friends, the humans, finally we have enough energy to recreate a new planet for our kind, and you will help use make it.” As soon as the message was delivered, I loss consciousness and the last thing I remembered was myself lying on the carpet
