Information I found from the research or things that I connected to the novel: POEM: In the book, Ky gives Cassia a poem written by Dylan Thomas for her birthday.

“Amazing Grace” is a widely known hymn that has become the “unofficial gospel hymn” of America. The piece has been sung in multiple beats and tempos but the original song had a slow tempo with a triple meter. The song uses verbal consonance and dissonance to create an interesting lyrical piece. The song will tell of sadness and disaster but then goes to a hopeful approach and says how things will get better, an example is “I once was lost but now am found.” Along with the interesting and uplifting

made a very nice version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Act 2 Scene 2, and it’s the one I enjoyed the most. Zeffirelli portrayed Juliet very well with the actress Olivia Hussey. Although older than Juliet’s age of 14 in Shakespeare’s original play, Olivia Hussey successfully interpreted Juliet’s youthful and lively nature. Olivia Hussey also delivered the role of Juliet with great emotion and gestures. Her tone changes as she is saying her deep thoughts of Romeo’s name to her love for him. When

The 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, is a better film then Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo + Juliet. This is because Zeffirelli uses a robust setting and dim lighting which improved the quality of the film. In addition, Zeffirelli’s film adaptation of the classic story more realistically portrays Romeo and Juliet’s relationship due to his choices in dialogue. The setting plays a significant role in Zeffirelli’s film. For example, it is easier for Romeo to hide in the bushes

Herbert George Wells is well known for The Time Machine; a science fiction novel which is often considered to be the first of its kind. Wells’s scientific background (having studied biology and being a science teacher (Nicholson)) helped creating this story and its genre.

Therefore, The Time Machine is a scientific tale within

Science fiction is a genre of writing involving plots and themes related to future scientific advances and major social changes, often coming from the author’s imagination rather than from factual knowledge.

Geniuses. Michelangelo, Galileo, Newton, Einstein. All names recorded in history, and all people who share the same above average brilliance and intellect. “Idiots”, on the other hand, are those who are never recognized for their smarts, or lack thereof, and who seldom receive any commemoration.

One of these people is Charlie Gordon.
