ROOT QUIZ 5! Two class heads up- ON FRIDAY!

DOUBLE BLOCK!

Course question "The Silent Towns".

"The Off Season":
Notes to add:

• -This story, like most of Bradbury's stories, relies heavily on IRONY.
• -Reminiscent, slightly, of "Ylla", with the bad relationship. 
• -Many colours referenced.

"The Long Years":

• 207-210: Hathaway, alone on Mars with family, sees rocket approaching one night.
• Hathaway from "and the moon still be as bright".
• 210-212: Captain Wilder returns
• 212-213: Reminiscing re: Parkhill and Spendor. Hathaway's weak heart.
• 213-219: Breakfast at Hathaway's: discovery of graveyard: Hathaway died, Wilder learns of the robot family. 
• 219-220: The crew deliberated what to do with family.
• 220: The family meaninglessly continues Hathaway's traditions. 

Major shift in tone, humorous "The Silent Towns" and the depressing "The Long Years" is perhaps the most dramatic between any stories in the book.

Course question! #3, 4.
