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than them that may good for the planet but not so much for the outdated humans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.
