We watched the Twilight Zone episode called "The Midnight Sun." I wanted to wrap up our discussion about science fiction before we jump into our magazine study. It is on Netflix. I think it is in season three.
Here are the questions we discussed.
In this episode of the Twilight Zone, the earth’s orbit
around the sun changes. Of no fault of
our own, we are now left to be baked alive.
According to the writer of this episode, how well does man cope with the
change? How does the crisis bring out
both the good and bad in man?
Man vs. Nature
Man vs. Man
Man vs. Self
What have you learned about the effects of climate change? Do
you believe it is real?
How could this episode be science fiction warning us about
our future?
I stopped the video right before the ending. How do you think the writer chose to end this
episode? Guess. Do you like your ending better or his?
