Select ONE оf the fоllоwing questions to respond to: Option 1: In our discussions of Octаviа Butler’s short story “Speech Sounds,” we exаmined the new forms of behavior and communication people adopt in a society where reading and speech have broken down. We also emphasized in lecture that science fiction often uses imagined futures or altered realities to help readers reflect on what it means to be human. In your response, draw on our class conversations and demonstrate your understanding of specific scenes in the story. Make sure you explain how those moments connect to what Butler argues is the broader purpose of science fiction. Option 2: In our discussions of William Carlos Williams and Ernest Hemingway, we explored how trauma literature often requires us to read between the lines and pay attention to what remains unspoken. In each text, certain traumatic experiences are only hinted at rather than stated outright. Select one moment from our Hemingway reading and one moment from our William Carlos Williams reading, and explain how close reading helps reveal the underlying trauma present in each scene.
