Hi everyoneI'm currently studying the short story "The Flying Machine" of Bradbury's at school.
I am having trouble understanding the concepts. Could anybody lend me a hand?
These are the questions:
1. Why did the emperor call for his guards to execute the flier?
2. Do you agree with the emperor's concerns? Why or why not?
3. What would you have done if you had been the emperor?
4. What do you think was Ray Bradbury's purpose in writing "The Flying Machine"?
5. What comment is he making on human nature?
6. Why do you think Bradbury set the story in China AD 400?

Could you share your opinions
Thanks
