Text requires the reader to think about what it means to consider humanity through presenting inanimate, robotic, or monstrous creatures; throughout literary history, writers use aliens, out-of-body or supernatural experiences, found in ghostly works, and in romantic novels animus is present. Think about the Zeitgeist, the contemporary time of a particular era. During chaotic times, critics, scientists whose research causes them to focus on objective reality, and political or psychological scientists whose interests examine the affective or emotional realm of humanity in terms of interactions, transactions, and aggressive tendencies, narcistic behaviors, tyrannical aberrations, and signs of greed, excess lust, and abnormal delusions often offer the creative writer the opportunity to design literary works to explore differences in appropriate or inappropriate behavior.

asked 04/25/17In "Cat Pictures, Please" how does the text ask us to think about what it means to be human by presenting us with non-human characters?
Both aliens and robots offer authors (and readers) an opportunity to think about difference and humanity in general. How does "Cat Pictures, Please" offer that opportunity?
