The Legitimacy of Neil Postman’s Assertions Neil Postman made six assertions based on Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World‚ of which I’ve decided to take a bilateral approach towards.

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s Stairway to Heaven‚ originally titled A Matter of Life and Death‚ captures a distant interpretation of traditional views of Heaven‚ Hell‚ and Judgment. The directors do this by reshaping standard images of Heaven‚ eliminating Hell and restructuring Judgment. All together this created a vastly different afterlife than was constructed by classic artists such as Dante‚ and Michelangelo. Death is uniquely contradictory in Stairway to Heaven. Death seems to

Objective Summary Postman encourages people to grow and change because of something they have learned so that their life is more diversified. However‚ there must be a reason and a means for such change. A reason is not always something that is kept in mind. It is usually abstract and hard to identify.

I would like to tell you about my reaction to the Neil Gainman’s article about the use of fiction. As we know the meaning of a fiction story is imagination or fantasy story‚ it means not a real story. Neil Gainman told us that reading fiction is reading for pleasure that is one of the most important things everyone can do (Gainman‚ 2013).
