1.What is your reaction to the text you just read?

At the beginning of the article, I "confirmed" that this story does not seem to be a story about humans, but more similar to a family of insects or arthropods. But as I continued to read it, I found that the setting of this story has become a deformed aesthetic after aliens occupy the earth, and it has the "Eusociality" of the insect world.

2. What connections did you make with the story? Discuss what elements of the story with which you were able to connect?

  In the story, "egg" and "fertility" seem to be constantly emphasized. This also highlights the contradiction of the article, that is, some people have been brainwashed as a fertility tool since childhood, but they still have personality and self-thinking. This may be an exaggeration in real life, but the status of women in human society, especially in the East, has been a tool-like existence attached to men in the East; they are not allowed to participate in social activities, but only in In life wholeheartedly raising the family and helping the husband, and being encouraged to have children, and even some places have developed the "deformed aesthetics" mentioned in this article-people think that the larger the pelvis, the more beautiful women, and more in terms of fertility There are advantages. This abnormal aesthetic and the materialization of women are the people's thirst for labor caused by the excessive social productivity, and it is transformed into the worship of fertility, which is somewhat in line with the human beings who have been a fertility tool since childhood and their concepts in the article. inner relationship.

3. What changes would you make to adapt this story into another medium? What medium would you choose; what changes would you make?

I think this short science fiction with social thinking can be adapted into a movie, and in the movie, I think that some background should be added to the beginning part, which will help the viewer to quickly enter the scene and let the viewer be behind The long dialogue of's set the background.

4. Are there elements of this work that you would consider afto-futurist?

Yes, this highly imaginative article does construct a not-so-good future world, but the author also uses the future world he created to bring thinking and enlightenment to our current real society.
