Please pick any of the following questions and discuss them, remember to comment on two other posts.
- What genre is "Bloodchild"? What conventions can you point to that inform your opinion?
- In your own words, define speculative fiction.
- What is (as Wilkins defines it), the "real-world counterpart" to "Bloodchild"? Can you think of aspects of our own society that are similar to the Terran and Tlic dichotomy? How can you see the real-life context of the author as described in the afterword reflected in the text?
- What "rules" (see p. 45 of Wilkins) make up the world of "Bloodchild"?
- Writing exercise from Wilkins p. 48: Think about a story (Bloodchild) you may be working on in terms of the parts and their transition points and build a ‘plot skeleton’. Does it help you to conceptualize the story from the outside?
Don’t be afraid to challenge each other here, but please remember to respect the thoughts of your classmates, and back up your arguments with examples from the text.
