I shall be explaining the two stories and the elements in this essay. The two stories I have read both are very similar. The plot starts off normally for their respective genres, some subtle foreshadowing soon after, then the story suddenly turns very dark and ends. The term gothic novel refers to stories that combine romanticism and horror. Common elements

Mirror, Mirror It was 1940, the world was intertwined in the second Great War, however, the United States managed to stay out of the conflict. The nation was flourishing—looming as an untouched super power, and national optimism was high.

The movie remains faithful to the novel for the whole movie, until its ending, the difference being that the movie depicted a more palatable ending

middle to upper middle-class television audience.

Television in the 1960’s The television was and still is an important invention to society. The television is a small box that displays a moving picture with sound and all kinds of shows. “If it weren’t for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of the television we’d still be eating frozen radio dinners”-Johnny Carson (quotes.net).

Music as an art form has been around for ages, ranging from the more primitive and ancient tribal folk rhythms to the current widespread pop radio stations. Some genres have deep roots and history that can be traced back for thousands of years while others are still relatively in its infancy. With the advent of the internet and computer technologies, it’s no longer a necessity for musicians to have a studio or record label produce and distribute their sounds, and this is how the music genre of vaporwave

In “The Veldt”, a young couple (George and Lydia Hadley) and their two children (Wendy and Peter Hadley) are heavily reliant on technology in the retro-futuristic 1950s. The setting is very reminiscent of a less technologically advanced “Meet the Jetsons”. Highly technologically advanced, 1950s culture, and filled with sexism and gender roles. They even have the same family members: a daughter, a son and two parents. The parents neglect the children, leaving their nurture to technology, before deciding

In a society where driving is accompanied by a talking car, walking is replaced with hover boards, and spying is used with flying drones, I cannot help but think how close we are as a civilization to living like The Jetsons. Due to the emergence of social media, one commodity that has been revolutionized in the past decade is news.
