Paper Summary:

This paper shows how science fiction addresses the very real themes and concerns of modern society. It also supports the idea that as long as we continue to develop technologically as a species, as long as we continue to dominate our planet and begin to look to the heavens for other places to explore, there will always be a place for science fiction literature.

From the Paper:

"Science Fiction. That short phrase floods the senses with a barrage of fantastical characters, realms, alien races and intergalactic space wars. Indeed, it is easy for the casual observer of science fiction to think of it rather shallowly, as a genre of literary and film achievements based solely on their entertainment value. But, as we shall explore, SF is much more than just a new-age side-show, designed to merely dull the senses with spectacular fantasies. Upon a deeper investigation, science fiction takes on a much more profound aura, and can be classified with the greatest literary movements of all time."

Valedictorian of High School in 1995. Graduated number 1 out of 268 students. I received a BA in English Literature, and minored in History. The vast majority of my literary education is in American and European literature (i.e. women's studies, classical lit, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Romanticism, fin de siecle', etc.) All papers submitted recieved "A" grades in upper division college literature courses. All papers are completely developed final drafts --no rough drafts at all. Not all papers will have bibliographical sources, but ALL papers will have a thoughtful thesis, a bevy of supporting arguments, and a tidy conclusion. . . things sometimes not found in other authors' papers.
