Four Questions

1.  How does Herbert's use of language in Dune provide both a sense of familiarity on an alien world and is this familiarity hinder the novels estrangement? 

2. How does the Arthur C. Clarke's time in Imperial India affect the ways he views imperialism in Childhood's End?

3. How does exposition help or hurt the flow of a story, such as in Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clark or "The New Atlantis" by Ursula K. Le Guin? 

4. In most science fiction stories, subjunctivity, or the meaning of the words in a sentence, creates a world much different from ours. Compare two authors and their use of subjunctivity to create "word-images" in their stories.
