Post your paragraph on E.M. Forster’s short story here, as a comment to this blog entry. If you have any issues posting these, keep a screen shot of the issue you’ve encountered. We will revise the verbs in these during class Wednesday night.

Remember, your paragraph needs to take a stand on one side of the issue: Are machines helpful or harmful to society? Include a direct quote from the story, and an indirect quote from either the film Modern Times or Wall-E. You CAN acknowledge the other view, but do not “split the baby down the middle” in a Solomon-esque manner.

The above image, a still from Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times, will take you to the audio to Forester’s 1909 short story.
