In these two pieces, I saw a lot of elements of science fictions. I saw time travel, references to aliens, futuristic machinery and language. These are elements of science fiction because they are all shown as being part of the future.
I feel like these pieces were chosen because they were good open ended pieces. They left us with a lot of questions about why and how. They gave us a little taste of everything and exposed us to the confusion that is present in this kind of literature. These pieces also acted as big hooks to get us excited to explore the world of science fiction!
Both pieces hold up to my definition of science fiction. I defined it as literature that included elements that may or may not be real. There were things like time travel and aliens presented in these pieces and to our knowledge on Earth, those things do not exist. But, they may exist without us knowing, which lines up with my definition of science fiction.
I really enjoyed these pieces because they are kind of like mysteries, and I am fascinated by other people's perception of the future. I think it's interesting how the views of authors who wrote books like Little Brother and 1984 are so much different than the writers of Star Trek. I also enjoy seeing things that aren't real, but may become real in the future!
