Redshirts Vs Star Trek Spacebook Analysis

1643 Words7 Pages

In Redshirt your character has the dubious honor of being transferred to the Megalodon-9 space station near the resort planet Venlith. Starting out as a transporter accident cleanup technician which is basically a glorified space janitor, you have to work, smooch, cheat, manipulate or bribe your way into a position of importance. Fail to do so and you along with the 2000 other new recruits will discover firsthand why senior personal appear to be fleeing the station like rats from a sinking ship. Although I am more of a Star Wars than Star Trek fan I know what a redshirt is and I am sure most science fiction fans do as well. Redshirts are basically cannon fodder with very short life expectancies and this game is no exception. While you have 160 days to find a way to distance yourself from the station you more immediate concerns are just surviving. Illness and depression is very common aboard the station and with the ever present danger of being selected for a random away mission which is usually a death sentence for redshirts there is a lot to worry about. The game opens with you having to create a mandatory Spacebook profile for your character. You can select your race and appearance before …show more content…

Unless you want to scrape dead co-workers off the teleporter room floor as a permanent profession you need to work on building up your skills. Oh and in case that last sentence has you concerned, Redshirt contains no graphical violence of any kind despite how distasteful some of the jobs may sound. Applying for a hazardous alien waste management supervisor for example requires some medical knowledge, people management, tedious paperwork and humorously enough a reassuring voice. These are all skills that can be picked up by going to certain events but apart from the time wasted doing so they can also detract from other statistics such as your money, health and

I feel as though my countless hours of binge-watching science fiction TV shows has finally paid off. I am now in the position to create a team instead of cringe at the groups that do not act as a team and are unsuccessful in the mission. I now have the power to ensure that the three people have the ability to make smart, moral decisions. With that being said, I would take my father, my aunt, and the UT Chancellor’s Honors Program’s own, Joshua Dobbs. I believe each of the people I have chosen have what it takes to face new challenges, and even new planets.

February 26, 1906, Upton Sinclair published his novel titled “The Jungle”, which informed its readers about the unsanitary practices and health violations that occurred in the meatpacking industry in America.

In Frederik Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth’s The Space Merchants advertising companies have close to unlimited power in the media and in government, and the company that Courtenay works for Fowler Schocken one of the largest advertising agencies in New York City.

I’ve been here for 8 months, and in 1 more month I can choose to re-enlist, or go home. My decision has already been made. Although George Washington is trying his best, his monotonous words will not be enough to keep me in this graveyard.

As I peer through the thick smoke, reminding myself why I chose to come in the first place, I see a half dead man on the floor- begging for water. We don’t have enough food or clothes. There are very few of us left to fight against the redcoats. Even though on some days we are cheerful, we are starving and freezing. I am wondering if I should re-enlist or go back home.

When comparing How To Read Literature Like A Professor and To Kill A Mockingbird, many’s first thoughts lead to symbolism. As Thomas C. Foster wrote much of How to Read Literature Like A Professor about symbolism, To Kill A Mockingbird is one huge symbol, including the title itself. By that, I mean that the mockingbird is the overall universal face of this timeless novel, portraying innocence. This theme of innocence is made evident in many instances in the novel by making many characters into that same mockingbird in a way, including the dog, Boo Radley, and Mrs. Dubose herself. However, this theme also includes the innocence of that mockingbird being stolen.

Love has a variety of different effects on people, if it is genuine it can change people and help them heal their pain but if it is not genuine it can crush and hurt. In Judith Ortiz Cofer's story "Catch The Moon" she states that love can make people want to improve themselves and change for the better. In W.D Wetherell's story "The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant", he states that love can make a person try to be someone they're not, hiding their true self to impress others and then in it all leading to heartbreak and regret. Although both authors have the universal theme of love in their stories, as well as other similarities, they are different when it comes to how the character changes, conflict between characters, how the conflict is resolved,
