For Blog Post 2, which is due by 11:59 p.m. Thursday night, there is an extra reading by H.P. Lovecraft “From Beyond” that you can find over in the readings section. It’s short, interesting, and goes quick. Using one of the questions from the 25 Questions for Exploring Dystopian/Utopian Texts handout reviewed in class on Tuesday, pick one of the questions and discuss that question in relation to “The Machine Stops,” “There Will Come Soft Rains,” and “From Beyond.” I think it can be argued whether or not “From Beyond” is a dystopian text. Make sure to explain why you think it is or not. Three thoughtful, exploratory paragraphs should be enough.
Also, don’t forget the requirement to leave four comments to your peers for Blog Post 1. These are also due Thursday.
