 In 1889 Verne have imagine a world 1000 years will come. Precisely in the year 2889 will have more advance technology compared to 1889. Many inventions verne mentioned in The story is centered around a newspaper owner who is changing the way news is reported from print to audio. My first thought was podcasts which is one way people receive information now. The story of most small like rent . Verne predicted that humans do better in the future .When Clonicle Earth can not maintain itself on a high level name of the journal that more modern rivals and he is in danger of collapse. Then Mr.Fritz Napoleon bought it and came journalism from the phone. everyone is familiar with the system because of major developments telephony fritz. when we focus on the future of the year 1000 yet, just in time 100 years predicted verne happened. The case today, the development of technology-based communication can be found with a mobile phone. Mr.Smith ever dream to be able to communicate and his wife saw everything when away. but now the technology could be used to communicate remotely with a variety of applications such as video call, skype, and many others. The future was closer than Verne thought.100 years ahead of schedule, we already have Skype, iPods, online newspapers, a life expectancy that is beyond 37 (or even the projected 52), and scientifically created food. However, we do not have a self-renewing energy source and have not found alien life forms within our solar system. when i read this novella, I have to experience a day in the life of a book from 2889.
In this story he describes a day in the life of a newspaper editor in 2889. Some pretty cool concepts were put across, such as subscribing to news feeds, which are delivered directly to the recipient via telephonic devices and telephote, which delivers pictures as well as sound, sky advertising able to be read by entire continents and a worldwide interconnection of travel that allows convenient visiting of anywhere on Earth, or teleconferencing a meal with a loved one. There was even an attempt at cryogenics (human hibernation), which did not work especially well. Pretty heady stuff for the time. Not Earth shattering or even truly amazing advances in this day of common computerized devices and technological hand holding, but to the time it must have sounded like the Jetsons or something do to us today.

Conclusion
look at predicted these people almost accurately, though predict what the future must what we look!
I found it particularly fascinating that, even in their wildest of dreams, no one could even imagine what the internet is today, even if they did get quite close. Also, advertisements on clouds? Melting the poles to make more room for human habitation? Wow, the imagination required for this thing. We are still far away from any adverts being projected on clouds billboards are the closest thing, right? Or if we start to advertise on planes, maybe? we do that and yet more further away from just one room being able to accommodate all our needs bed disappearing to reveal a dining table, for example there's not way we're ever going to melt the poles, but still!
It also fascinates me that Jules Verne could not imagine satellites a mile and a half telescope is what he imagined instead! or travelling to the moon as a reality . What if we turned the moon around to see what's on the other side? but everything else is, scarily enough, totally possible in this century right now.

The Raven and Its Analysis of Edgar Allen Poe as an Anti-Transcendentalism

Image
Analysis ‘The Raven’ by Edgar Allan Poe as an anti-transcendentalism Accordingly, Edgar Allan Poe considered by many critics as one famous Anti-Transcendentalist for his prevalence of human depravity through all his works (RTA). However, the works of him are noticeably coherent with his personal aesthetic beliefs and judgments. The thematic tales of Poe are commonly connected with fear and terror where they present the elemental aspects and emergence of ‘American Gothicism’. “The Raven” is opening with an exhaled of ‘Ah’ and agitated emotions of the narrator on a cruel day of December, with the bitter coldness, and lifeless isolated house, where the atmosphere is so dark death-like and so horrifying. Poe starts: Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; – vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow – sorrow for the lo

ANALYZING THE PLOT IN “IN THE YEAR 2889” BY JULES VERNE THROUGH SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

“Little though they seem to think of it, the people of this 29th century live continually in fairyland. Surrounded with marvels, they are indifferent to marvels. To them all seems natural. Could they but duly appreciate the refinements of civilization in our day; could they but compare the present with the past, and recognize the advances we have made! How much fairer they would find our modern towns, with populations exceeding 10,000,000 souls; steets 300 feet wide, houses 100 feet high; with a constant temperature in all seasons; and lines of aerial locomotion crossing the sky in all directions!” Have you seen or read the half of the story above?
