My Response To Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street is a story I read in my class and that has a clear message. There are two figures at the end of the story: Figure one and figure two. They say something that lets me think that the author, Rod Serling , is talking by them. They say that the people in Maple street try to find the most dangerous enemy which is actually themselves. The figures say this because they see the people being very violent, attacking each other... even making Charlie's head bleed! Also they say that Maple street is not unique because there are a lot like that in the world and that wherever they go they'll find these Maple Streets, and this is because of the people's attitude that is very common.

This is the message because I think that what the author is trying to outstand in the story is the atitude of the people and the way they respond to their problem, which is very common to the way many other people would have respond. In life today, that is very common. In many groups, like in the family, in the classroom, with your friends, this happens. There is a problem that nobody is sure how started. Nobody is going to be calmed unleast there is a good answer to their questions. This frustration to get your questions answered may even take you to ridiculous answers, like happens in the story. In conclusion, I can tell this message still is important today because I've live it and I know much other people live it, because some places I go I see conflicts just because people are trying to find out who is guilty.

"Monsters are Due in Maple Street" or "The Twilight Zone", is a story from 1960. I would change some things to make this play more modern. The author should consider that some places have electric plants. Something more is that if other equipment, other than the electric, should be affected by the blackout. For example something with battery like a cell phone,an ipod, or a videogame. This would make the story more modern. Also the setting could be changed. If the events happened in a city more people would be affected. More places like stores and restaurants and more sources or transportation like buses would make the story more ineteresting.If the first man would have got to the moon in the time Rod Serling wrote the play, more things of outer space would be known by Tommy and he wouldn't have thought of the alien thing.
