Then, having reached the heights, this all-but-divine race perished in a single night, and nothing was preserved above ground.Īlta, about a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. Ethically and technologically they were a million years ahead of humankind, for in unlocking the mysteries of nature they had conquered even their baser selves, and when in the course of eons they had abolished sickness and insanity, crime and all injustice, they turned, still in high benevolence, upwards towards space. In times long past, this planet was the home of a mighty, noble race of beings who called themselves the Krell. United Planets Cruiser C57D, now more than a year out from Earth Base on a special mission to the planetary system of the great main-sequence star Altair. And so, at last, mankind began the conquest and colonization of deep space. Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive through which the speed of light was first obtained and later greatly surpassed. By 2200 A.D., they had reached the other planets of our solar system. In the final decade of the 21st Century, men and women in rocket ships landed on the moon.

According to the first, most commonly invoked account, nations were first imagined by means of the printing press. If we ask how nations are imagined, Anderson provides two quite separate explanations. No one has ever seen a nation except “in their mind’s eye.” Nations, for this reason, only exist since we imagine them to exist. Unlike small communities in which everyone knows everyone else, nations have too many members, and the vast majority of whom will never, and can never, meet. That is, they are not natural, organic, or just plain given, but instead the result of an act of creation. Nations are “imagined communities,” we are told. While the book is a brilliant exposition of the nature of nationalism, and well worth its fame, it is more than anything the title of the book that has been turned into a meme. Google Scholar counts some 112,589 citations, a number which should be enough to give you tenure at a major university at least ten times over. Even forty years after its initial publication, it is widely referenced, and a standard feature on reading lists everywhere. Benedict Anderson’s book on nationalism is a modern classic ( Anderson 2006).

In the short term, Tiny and will could meet up through Will. What sort of things could happen in the short and long term? Not only that, but the personality differences between Will, Tiny, and will is what keeps the story interesting for me. As Will said himself, “I believe he may be the world’s largest person who is really, really gay” (Green 6). For starters, Tiny with his name contradicting his real-life image of being gigantic, nearly a whole head taller than Will. He’s already the kind of character that makes a strong impression to the readers, especially considering the fact that the book is filled with opposites. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Tiny is portrayed much like a positive guy, which makes me also wonder, what makes him the way he is. While reading, I’ve also come to realize that I want to get to know this character, more than his projection in the book. Now, let me introduce you to Tiny Cooper, Will’s huge gay best friend. In contrast, will has to work part-time to supplement the two of their living. Even just the simple things like how Will doesn’t work, yet having his own debit card, which was probably provided by his parents, reveal his wealth. I know the story’s set in modern time so social status isn’t such a significant issue, but you can tell how will and his mother struggle to live off the bare minimum of wage. I honestly think that the chapters for Will, who’s obviously living a more opulent life than will, uses proper capitalizations to give readers the effect of feeling like he is a bigger character than will.
