We live in a world that's ever-evolving, and I think most people would agree that time has the power to change almost any mind. This is notable in the books we have read throughout the course of this class, each of them has a take on the potential our society has for plausibly creating various utopias and dystopias, but im sure most would agree each has markedly different perspectives.
Before reading the Parable of the Sower I have been lucky enough to have experience with Octavia Butler's other work, in particular the book Kindred. This novel discusses a woman who is pulled back into time in the Antebellum South at varying rates, and thus as a black woman becomes acutely aware of the horrors of slavery. It will be interesting for me to see the similarities between this book and that one.
