.... like K. W. Jeter and Rudy Rucker. Perhaps the best and most representative anthology of cyberpunk writers is Mirrorshades., edited by Sterling, the genre's most outspoken advocate. But cyberpunk's status as the revolutionary vanguard was almost immediately challenged. Its narrative techniques, many critics pointed out, were positively reactionary compared to the experimentalism of mid-60s "new wave" SF. One of the main sources of its vision was William S. Burroughs' quasi-SF novels like Nova Express, (1964), and the voice of Gibson's narrator sounded oddly like a slightly updated versio .....

.... or trivial. A momentous option means the individual is in the position to choose or act on something when it is the person’s only opportunity to do so. It is trivial when what the person has decided on will not have a great effect on the person if there were or were not any losses from the decision. It is trivial when it does not matter whether something is decided now or later or if the decision is changed afterward. James defines a genuine option as a forced living momentous option. James begins by pointing out that we cannot will something to life. We cannot will something into existence .....

.... prejudice views is that of race. An example of this is during Tom Robinsons trial. Tom was a black man accused of raping a white woman, a crime that is punishable by the death penalty. Even though all the facts proved that he didn't do it, the jury still found him guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt". Tom's life has been sacrificed to racism by the people who were there to protect him. The justice system didn't allow this man to have a fair trial because of the color of his skin. They disregarded his credibility or that of the other witnesses, all they could focus on was his race because t .....

.... the loss of their land. The Joad family had lived there for many generations and had very strong ties to the land. Losing their land was equivalent to losing their family history. This is expressed by “She puts them in her pocket, closes the box, stands and with resignation tosses the box on the fire”(Galati 21). It is very evident that ma is reluctant to let her past go. On their journey they lose their first family member, Grampa Joad. This shows that there is a strong connection between a man and his home. Grampa’s great longing for his homeland ultimately resulted in .....

.... majority of British held themselves superior to the Burmese. They feel that it is their duty to rule over the less intelligent “niggers” of Burma. Through the description of the characteristics of both the British and Burmese, Orwell helps us understand the value system through which the British have come to the conclusion that they must rule over the Burmese. An example of such a description is that of Maxwell, them acting Divisional Forest Officer. Maxwell is depicted as a “fresh-coloured blond youth of not more than twenty-five or six – very young fo .....

When saying that to Jem, and Scout he risked the chance of them not listening to him. Lastly it is courageous of him standing up to the individuals at the jail house. Atticus risked the chance of the indivi .....
