  • Saki The Interlopers Analysis

    560 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the short story "the Interlopers" by Saki, the mood in the beginning is rather ominous and suspenseful, the author shows this with the setting which is shown in the first few lines of this story, "In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the eastern spurs of the Carpathians, a man stood one winter night watching and listening", "Ulrich von Gradwitz patrolled the dark forest in quest of a human enemy". If we analyze these two sentences it really expresses the mood, the Carpathian mountains are very vast and treacherous, also the fact that it is a winter night and the man is alone really gives it that ominous feeling. One of the major things that really affects the mood in the beginning of the story is the fact that Ulrich was hunting a "human." The author makes this fact seem even more ominous by using different words, for instance "Ulrich von Gradwitz is patrolling (not walking or any other form of movement) the forest and he is looking for a "human enemy. " This is makes the mood more chilling because it creates the thought that he is guarding something.

    Isaac Asimov’s Reason, shows us how the field of robotics is still a working-progress, Philip K. Dick’s Second Variety introduces the idea of superior, conscious machines who were created by advanced technology, and Kenneth Chang’s “Can Robots Become Conscious?” shares different views on the advancement of machines and robots. I believe machines and robots are not glorified adding-up machines and I think it is possible that they will become capable of original thought the more we advance in the field of robotics. Similar to the iPhone updates, new technology and new studies could lead to intelligent, conscious machines. Technology has come a long way, with the introduction of the Siri of the iPhone, Window 10 2-in-1 computers, flying military drones, and many more.
