Session 12: Science Fiction & Fantasy

For session 12 we'll be talking about two of my favorite genres!

• Read "Fantasy and Science Fiction" (chapter 6 in C & G). What relationship do science fiction, fantasy, and folklore have to one another? How are they distinct? What criteria do C & G offer for the genres? How would you evaluate Uglies based on that criteria?
• Read Uglies and prepare for small group discussion. Be sure to mark passages that strike you as interesting, either because of their literary quality or because they would be interesting to discuss!
