Should be approximately 2 double-spaced, 7 typed (in a standard 12-point font) pages. Need 6 sources 4 from list of categories. To answer the question “what goes into science fiction,” to explain what its “contents” are, you first need to explain what science fiction is, or what it can be. The authors that we’ve read thus far—Gernsback, Wells, Heinlein, Merril, Russ, Suvin, Miéville, and Chu—provide different, although at times related, explanations of what science fiction is. B.) Begin by summarizing what each of these categories mean. Then compare and contrast the categories that you have chosen. By comparing/contrasting them can you modify/develop/expand/refute/etc. certain elements of these categories and, by doing so, build toward your own explanation of what science fiction is? C.)Finally, is there a story that we’ve read that exemplifies these two categories considered together (or, better still, your new working explanation of what the contents of science fiction is)? List of stories we read: There will come soft rains by Ray Bradbury, All you Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein The machine Stops by E.M Foster, and Fondly Farhrenheit by Alfred Bester Two out of the four I want are Darko Suvin and Robert A. Heinlein the other two you can choose from. I have uploaded some of the material.
