Unit 4: Novel – Quest for Enlightment Assignment 3: Active Reading Journal Reflection of “Superman” (Movie-1978) “Superman” was a movie that was directed in 1978 by Richard Donner. Within this movie, ambiguity exists as viewers may find it too difficult to believe in a character like the all mighty Supermen. When viewers first found out about Clark Kent’s super powers, this causes the suspension of disbelief. Kent was born and raised on another planet called Krypton but was sent to earth for a chance to maintain his race. Kent already had natural powers when he was little but his true powers were gained through the sun rays of the Earth.
This field is said to be active and frequently interrelating with the solar wind and channelling plasma into Mercury’s surface from the sun. The chemicals captured from the solar wind include Hydrogen and Helium, which help create Mercury’s extremely thin atmosphere. Scientists would argue that there is ‘no’ atmosphere on Mercury at all. The little amount of gas found on Mercury is trillions of times thinner than the gasses found on earth, and would not be able to be detected without exceptionally sensitive equipment. Although very thin, Mercury’s atmosphere is made up of trace amounts of gasses including 42% Oxygen, 29% Sodium, 22% Hydrogen, 6% Helium, and 0.5% Potassium.
Blade Runner Analysis English 102 Ms. Rucker Abstract In the movie Blade Runner, we explore what it means to be human. We view this idea through the lives of Replicants and Deckard, an agent sent to track down and terminate rogue Replicants. Like most of the best science fiction, Blade Runner is not really concerned with pseudo-scientific surrealism.

Point 1 The origin of each character is significant. First let's talk about the Man of Steel himself, Superman--or Clark Kent if you prefer. His comic book origin, oddly enough, has gone through some odd changes during his tenure. Essentially the various origin stories all have Superman coming from his home planet of Krypton in a rocket and narrowly escaping the apocalypse that shattered his world; he is sent to the planet Earth where he is found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent, a caring couple from Smallville longing for a child. (However, in some versions of the tale, Clark begins using his powers at a young age as the hero Superboy, but recently this version of the story was removed from history as it didn't make sense in the chronological time line.)

Prometheus Analysis Brenda Hewitt HUM/150 February 4, 2013 Victor Armneta Prometheus Analysis From the very first scenes of this film a true reverence of hope and human desire is executed. In 2093, the Prometheus ship is sent deep into space to find out who created mankind. A team of archaeologists refer to the large humanlike beings as the engineers because it is theorized that they engineered humanity. In the beginning of this film hope and desire are displayed through the engineers visiting a mystery planet and with an alien self-sacrifice seems to create life by sharing their foreign deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to perhaps begin a new civilization. As the movie progresses the choices, acts, and beliefs of the two protagonists drive movie goers to embrace his or her hopes and dreams of where the human species generated and what possibilities are still ahead.
