week 12 Dawn blog

Bloodchild and Dawn by Octavia Butler Blog                                                 Miranda Lee

It seem to be a lot of brain washing of the Terrans who are humans that are used as host and this is consider a honor and that these parasites aliens are their friends creating Stockholm syndrome for all humans. I believe that the Tlic are manipulating the humans for so long that they are on top of the food chain. Host animals. There seem to be a majoritarian to this short story and that it holds up because the Tlic that are like giant intelligent centipede are on top of the foo chain are treating the humans like pet cows. They represent the majority and that their views are consider the right rules of the world they live in but this is the point of view of an ignorant child who grew up with a Tlic that favor her and treated her nicely the more idealistic relationship because Gan and her family get special treatment and social status because they belong to T’Gatoi who is a powerful figure in her kind and was breed from Gan’s own father. My first impression was that the Terrans are humans were livestock given the eggs they eat are like tranquilizers that numb the mind like marijuana and keep the humans young and have longer life expectancy.  Since we are seeing from a child’s point of view it is hard to see the truth.

In Dawn the story is similar to “BloodChild” short story a superior alien creature of higher intelligence and adaptation is most ideal of pointing out human flaw what humans experiment they take it to the next level but with more knowledge and advance techniques that is within their genes that they can manipulate and be the ultimate adapters. Aliens corrected our mistakes improving all our flaws and saving the planet earth from humans and humans themselves. Humans are so used to believing that they are on top of the food chain that they do not realize or acknowledge that there is something bigger than them that may good for the planet but not so much for the outdated humans perspective that everything is in our controlled. A sense to need to feel superior hypocrites that humans are the good guys and that they are on top of the food chain and in control and can do better without the alien. It seems that aliens are more self-sufficient may cause humans like the main character to feel insecure of her naivetés and pride as a human.

In the novel “Dawn” The way aliens treats the Lilith is probably better than her own kind who like Paul (a male human) who tried to rape her. In human war there is usually torture, killing, rape, and experimenting so what the aliens are doing couldn’t be much worst from what her own kind would do to themselves as they are not interested in human aggression and violence. And the aliens don’t follow the same rule as the humans; the aliens are just trying to survive in their own ways. Humans are not used to sharing intelligence level with another species that wasn’t in their control much less a more intelligent and advance organization that lasted longer than the humans so that is why the main character may feel paranoid. The humans do not realize that they themselves have failed as a species and the entire planet Earth. Humans should learn to united with the aliens, maybe the aliens will help improve their chances if they acknowledge that they as a failed species will not know how to survive in the new earth and will probably be genetically modified if they want a chance of survival now that earth had a restart on how the ecosystem works.

Monsters 2010 film is very similar to parasites like blood child. But the aliens seem to be animal than high that they will continued to grow and therefore need the land and will probably fight the humans to the end. It seems like the humans are in denial of how serious the monsters are if the monsters decide to expand their world and go after humans as food. People are going on with their life acting like it is just a phase.
