Finally, examples of popular science fiction movies and TV shows are listed.
ENG Essay
This compare and contrast essay analyzes the science fiction movies Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Maze Runner. While both are science fiction films, they have different storylines, settings, and endings. Rise of the Planet of the Apes depicts intelligent apes led by Caesar battling humans for freedom. The Maze Runner features humans trapped in a maze surrounded by stone walls trying to escape robotic creatures. The settings also differ, with Rise of the Planet of the Apes mostly in cities and The Maze Runner mainly in a jungle. Both films conclude differently as well, with Rise of the Planet of the Apes ending on a cliffhanger and The Maze Runner ending tragically.

Feminism & Zines A Brief History
A presentation given at the Evergreen State College for a program titled "Reproduction, Birth, and Power." November, 2009
Humble I S D 2010
The document appears to be a list of book recommendations and reviews from 2010 with short descriptions of each book. It also includes a manifesto written by Ellen Hopkins defending intellectual freedom and criticizing censorship efforts. The manifesto states that ideas cannot be destroyed through book burning and censorship, and those who attempt to censor books out of fear do not truly speak for God, America, or children.
Parrish 309
The document provides summaries of 20 books across various genres, including fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, and memoirs. Some of the books summarized are The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, The Burn Journal by Brent Runyon, The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, I Am the Messenger by Marcus Zusak, and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. The summaries briefly describe the plots and subjects of the various books.
Science Fiction Readers Advisory
This document provides an overview of science fiction and fantasy genres for a reader's advisory presentation. It discusses key differences between science fiction which focuses on technology and follows physical rules, and fantasy which involves magic and supernatural elements. The document also recommends several prominent authors in each genre and their notable works, as well as suggestions for readers of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
Genres
The document discusses different genres of books. It separates genres into fiction and nonfiction categories. Fiction genres include fantasy, realistic fiction, mystery/crime, historical fiction, adventure, and traditional literature. These genres are defined by their use of imaginary characters and settings. Nonfiction genres contain true facts and include poetry, biography, autobiography, and informational books. Overall, the document provides definitions and examples of various book genres for both fiction and nonfiction.
Morphological Analysis - a creativity tool
This document contains a morphological chart that can be used to generate fictional narratives. It provides options for various sub-functions or elements of a narrative including: plot line or theme, viewpoint, protagonist, setting, time period, philosophical symbolism, relationships between characters, and more. Each sub-function has multiple potential options listed to allow for variation when developing story ideas.
Going Gothic by Rachel Franks
This was presented at Horror at the Metcalfe 12 March 2014, co-organised by the NSW Readers Advisory Working Group
Postmodern presentation
Postmodernism emerged in the mid-20th century as a rejection of modernist ideals in the wake of World War 2 and the loss of faith in powerful institutions, embracing ambiguity and rejecting notions of absolute truth or morality. Postmodern art and literature is characterized by nonlinear narratives, lack of clear meaning, references to other works, and mixing reality with surreal elements. Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" exemplifies postmodern themes through its wandering narrative following Walt Whitman in a supermarket and references to other poets amid magical descriptions.
Fantasy and Science Fiction
This document provides an overview and comparison of fantasy and science fiction genres. It defines fantasy as imaginative fiction dealing with alternate realities that suspend scientific explanations, exploring deeper realities and eternal truths. Science fiction is defined as literature exploring possible futures through speculation about life in other worlds and times, often focusing on technology. The document outlines common elements of each genre such as elves and magic in fantasy, and robots and space travel in science fiction. It concludes with a brief comparison of the origins and purposes of fantasy and science fiction.
Genres
The document discusses different genres of literature including realistic fiction, historical fiction, folklore, fantasy, mystery, science fiction, poetry, informational writing, and biography. It provides examples of works that fall under each genre. Realistic fiction includes stories that could really happen, while historical fiction takes place in the past. Folklore includes traditional stories and myths. Fantasy includes elements that are not real, like magic. Mysteries involve solving problems and clues. Science fiction blends fiction with futuristic technology. Poetry inspires thoughts and feelings. Informational books provide true facts. Biographies tell the true stories of people's lives.

Making A Topic Thesaurus
The document describes the process used to create a topic thesaurus for anime suggestions. Tags for over 150 anime titles were gathered from amateur sources and experts to describe each show. Similar tags were grouped together and preferred terms from multiple sources were selected. The tags were organized hierarchically with broader terms like "Genre" and narrower terms like "Action". Problems around spelling, balance, and exporting the thesaurus were addressed. Reflections note wanting feedback and possibly making it multilingual.
Genre Cheat Sheet
Traditional literature includes myths, legends, folktales, and fairy tales that are passed down orally and form the foundation for fantasy genres. Fantasy stories feature characters like magical creatures and users alongside medieval settings. Science fiction often includes mutants, aliens, robots, and advanced technology within cities, spaceships, and time travel plots. Realistic fiction presents everyday people in modern, realistic settings and events. Historical fiction features authentic historical events, sites, and famous or average people from the past. Mysteries center around crimes, clues, and solutions investigated by detectives at crime scenes or offices. Biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs provide first or third person accounts of individuals' lives and experiences. Informational non-fiction informs readers
Lesson 3 - Action Adventure Sub genres
The document discusses six sub-genres of action adventure films: fantasy, disaster, historical, quest, thriller, and swashbuckler. For each sub-genre, it provides examples of movies, common narrative conventions, and codes/iconography. Key information provided includes common elements of fantasy films like imaginary worlds and creatures, disaster films involving impending catastrophes, historical films set in real time periods, quest films involving searches, thriller films with suspense and deception, and swashbuckler films with sword fighting. The document encourages adding to a table summarizing each sub-genre.
