This week I decided to read Bloodchild by Octavia Butler. The author slowly reveals the science fiction and dystopian elements of the story. I found it interesting how the story opens up with "My last night of childhood began with a visit home" because it automatically makes the reader curious as to what the story will unfold with. The story has themes such as: coming of age, and loss of childhood. These themes are what is gradually bringing in the dystopian elements of Bloodchild. I think the story did reflect the majoritarian culture because the story brings in a lot things that they would do in their culture while bringing up gender rules.
