Let's see.. what makes us human beings?
Here's an excerpt from my notes for my final essay for American Literature. I have to pick two or more stories that I think should be added to the American Literature book I have now. It contains only one "science fiction/fantasy" story.
Now, these are just notes to help me remember what I want to write about, so the wording is a bit retarded.
Just because science fiction is fiction (use other wording), it doesn't mean that the stories do not possess qualities of humanity such as loneliness (To Build a Fire), memories (An Occurance at Owl Creek), heroism (?), fear of death (Dickinson), celebration of life (Whitman), patriarchy (The Paradise of Bachelors), struggle, beauty (Rappachini's Daughter (HEY! that one was kind science-fictiony!!!)), errogance, self-esteem (Happiness), matriarchy (Tartarus of Maids), purity (The White Heron), love, insanity (The Yellow Wallpaper), and the consequences of the actions taken by human beings against any force, whether it be alien, or as close to the heart as man's own government, neighbor, or family.
*which should have been included... FUCK ME! I sound like a retard show-off pathetic loser! WHWHHHHYYYY!!!! Must beeeeee the coffeeeeee :P
"Humanities: Four-Thousand Eight-Hundred Twenty Eight, Section Zero Two" (introduction)
Being human is defined as having the ability to possess intricate qualities, such as hate and passion, that are excluded from the rest of the animal world. All of the selections chosen from The Harper's Single Volume American Literature by Donald McQuade, Robert Atwan and others, show many essential elements, such as fear (Emily Dickinson's selected poetry) and isolation (Sherwood Anderson's "The Egg"), that illustrate human kind. Consequently, there are other narratives, such as Ray Bradbury's, "Bang! Your Dead!", which should have been included in McQuade's literary volume that would further humanistically parallels the faith expressed in Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge". In one particular novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, some characters forgot what it was like to be an individual. Bradbury's prophetic best-seller ties all narrated works together justifying that humanity gains no knowlege of the past, no control over the present, and holds no hope for the future without the presence of such stories. Besides Fahrenheit 451, other stories that would further enlighten McQuade's readers would include: "The Visitor" and "Bang! You're Dead!" by Ray Bradbury, and the screenplay, Eraserhead, written by David Lynch.
