Write an essay arguing whether you agree or disagree with the author that
there is a strong connection between science fiction and real science.

Science fiction and real science are strongly connected, and what is more, they help one another.

On many occasions, science fiction predicted the future of technology developments ahead of real science. An example of this is  Issac Asimov and his Robot Series, where he describes robots and their basic rules. In many of what he says in those books, later on, scientists could create and use it as Assimove had described. Another example is Jules Verne and how he predicted the creation of the submarine or the space rocket.

We can see how scientists take inspiration from the creativity of authors and combine it with their knowledge to improve society every day.

The scientific community is not the only one who benefits from Science fiction. Authors or film directors also benefit from science. They use inventions as an inspiration, or to create better scenes in a film, or to write with them, like with the creation of the computer.

In conclusion, Science fiction and real-life science are deeply connected. They are mutual friends that help one another to improve every day and make the world a better place collaborating from their expertise.

Explanation:

In this case, we wrote an argumentative essay where we introduce our statement in the first paragraph. Then, we proceed to explain it and provide evidence to prove the connection between science and science fiction. Finally, we conclude with a brief explanation of where we restate our theory and write the closing sentence to close our essay adequately.        

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
