Post any additional comments about the story "Puppet Show" here. You might discuss the implications of the two "tests" that the aliens give the earth people. Did we pass the tests? What does this imply about us? What is the story's conclusion about xenophobia?
I thought it was really cool how the burro ended up being the person controlling the puppets. The "Alien" who was red and blue ended up being simply a puppet and i though this was strange as well.
ReplyDelete`I thought it was funny how McCarthy was mentioned in the story as a puppet. Shows how times have changed and which type of people can be considered powerful influences on the government.
ReplyDeleteI think this story has more of an underlying point that the author was trying to subtly show; that the equality of people shouldn't be determined by one source.
Blacklisting is bad
Puppet Show was an very interesting story I did not see the ending coming. What if that is really happening now, a Burros controlling every everyone, that would be really weird. I would like to read more stories like this, I really liked it.
