Blog #8 (Puppet Show)

I didn't really enjoy this short story. I found that it was hard to differentiate the characters. I thought it was really suprising that the burrow was the alien in the end. Throughout the short story you were expecting to know how the story was going to end. I think it was sad how the people failed the test. They were trying to attach themselves to something that was in a way sort of similar to themselves instead of being open to every possibility. If I was in the same positin I don't think that I would've passed either because the ending totally took me by suprise. I think this story says a lot about our society and how we are programmed at a young age to expect certin things in life. It isn't benificial at all to have this mindset because you will miss out on certain things in life. I found it interesting how the main character had blue hair and eyes and red skin. I don't think he would be accepted in our society because usually when people are born with "deformities" they are often picked out of the crowd and juged by the masses.
