Blog Post #7 *Late*

In Churchill's play "A Number" it is showing the effects of a man cloning his son and how it affects the son and the father's life. The son clearly cannot forgive his father for doing such a thing to him and I feel as though this does a great job of showing the real reaction of how someone would feel about being cloned and having to come to terms with this later on in life and it also shows the real reaction of a father's regret for doing something he later regretted. Imaginative texts and stories give us an insight into real issues by using futuristic examples and bringing them to life in ways that make sense and can paint clear pictures of what will possibly happen in the near future and how people will react to these changes that no one will understand at first but will soon come to terms with it in the end. I feel as thought Churchill's play greatly takes on the realities of situations that people may someday face and the reactions and outcomes of these decisions that people will make. There is never a clear answer of how someone will react and what they will do in the future but I feel as though Churchill does a good job at trying and using the thought process of today and applying it to the future of robots and clones.
