Monday, November 6 ~ Into...The Silent Planet?

Discuss J25


Let's do this on Tuesday
As an intro to the trilogy, let's see what Lewis actually had to say about the genre of Science Fiction. Click here for his article. 

Journal 26: "On Science Fiction" by C. S. Lewis
  1. What ethical warning/guidance does Lewis teach on the topic of quality literary criticism? Where do you see people making this mistake in their general judgments in everyday life? 
  2. List (you may need to name a few of them) and define all four sub-species of the science fiction genre.
  3. What does Lewis claim as good reasons to use the science fiction genre?
  4. Clearly, Lewis had read a great deal to develop his taste for the genre, though it was not at first a draw for his affections. Do you believe he has left anything out in his assessment of the genre? Would you add anything to this essay?
  5. Favorite quote from this piece? Why?
