Assignment 6
Fledgling Susanna J. Sturgis, has been anilazing butlers novels and how she writes. the way that susanna goes about say how butler didnt really want her readers to be just in peace but she wants her readers to and suprized as well as asking questions. Susanna feels that some readers would be amazed and would be exicted on the relationship of the ina and the humun. Susanna ends her rapid but informational review with a great quote by Octaivia Butler herself, "Change can be and often is terrifying, but the biggest folly is to refuse it; deny change is to abdicate one's responsibility to help shape it".

Quotations "Only a few pages into Fledgling, it becomes appearent that the vampire premise is perfectly suited to themes that Butler has been exploring since her earlier novels."

"The vampire premise is perfectly suited to themes that butler has been exploring since her earliest novels: Interdependence, freedom and unfreedom, and the cost of human survival."

"I've heard it called a pwerful hypnotic drug. It makes them highly suggestible and deeply attached to the sorce of substance."

Themes Racism/speciecism

Feminism

lternative sexual relations/ sexuality/ family relations

My Impression of Octavia Butler
Butler talks about her life was when she was growing up and her experiences. She describes the place the she grew up in and what her mother did for living. Her mother had to work as a maid due to Butler’s father’s death. They didn’t have anywhere to live so they lived in the same home where her mother worked. To butler this home was her home where there were big room and a large staircase. To butler the people that her mother worked with were her family, the cook was her grandmother, the gardener and the handymen were her uncles. One day she was laying on top of the stairs on the house and was with baba the dog in the house and looked into his eyes and discovered a new way of looking at thing at a young age. Then she goes on to tell us on day when she was on a class trip in second grade they went to the zoo and she saw chimpanzee. That day she looked into that chimps eyes and saw an animal that is all alone, unhappy and locked in bars. The thing that her classmates did to the chimp she felt ashamed of her species. Her classmates were yelling and throwing nuts at the chimp and the chimp started to get mad at took a leap to a different place and scream the kids found it to be amusing, but Butler could see furious and frantic the chimp really was. As older she got he started to see that humans have locked even themselves in cages. People don’t talk to each other and don’t want to get to know each other as people use to at a time, there isn’t really anymore curiosity to learn and to experience new things.
