monsters on maple street

Rod sterling was born in Syracuse, NY, on December 25, 1924. He grew up in Binghamton. The characters are the Family and Friends. The setting of the story took place on a street called Maple street.
My favorite part was when they started to blame everyone about who killed the person. I think if I didn't read the book already. I would think it would be Charlie. I think its him because he always says, "no not me," or " I didn't do it."
How the story related to me was when they started blaming each other about the killing and the car. I think that sometimes people about doing things because when they found out who really done something the people who blamed the other are going to feel stupid.
What I wonder about is do the aliens really take over the world at the end of the story? I can relate to that when I always read a book they say that are going to do something different. Do they ever do them?
What I didn't like about the book was when they started talking about all the people's names. When they say lots of names I sometimes get confused. I can kind of relate to it when I watch a show. A show that has twins and I get mad when I can't tell them apart.
The book is similar to my life when spooky things happen to me. I really don't like when people blame things on me and I try to tell them that I didn't do it. They just don't believe me. I can relate to that when my sister loses something of my mom's. My mom always asks me first. I tell her I didn't do it, but she just don't believe. Sometimes my sister gets caught and I tell my mom," I told you I didn't do it.
The part that was so unbelievable was when they started talking about the aliens taking over the world. Like yeah write. I can remember when my sister said that she wanted to become president. I said there isn't no possible way. That shows what I know. You never know it could come true.
I really can't relate the movie and the book because I wasn't here when we watched the movie. I did read the story. Most stories and movies are alike ,but some of them are different.

The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street 2 DE

...
Rod Serling surprised me ounce I learned about him. Once he became a boxer and was in college to be a P.E. teacher I wouldn't of ever thought of him being the writer for the Twilight Zone series. He writes about Maple Street a very common street name in the 1950's. In his work he describes the friendly neighbors that live on Maple Street. I can tell that the characters are from the 1950's because of the way they dress and the way they act. Charlie a stuck-up know-it-all wears dress pants and a button up shirt. Steve the wise guy wears the same.
I felt as if Maple Street is a type of place where the Brady Bunch would live a nice friendly neighbor hood with nice families. You would almost think it would be impossible for them to turn on each other. A few unexplainable things happen and bomb. People start going crazy and get very suspicious like when Goodman's car starts. All of the people go crazy on him. Goodman says "I swear I don't Know how it happened" (673). The people thought the guy wasn't human. I think they were insane.
I thought the acting in the movie was horrible. It was in black and white and the people sat on their porch or stood in the middle of the road all day. Maple Street was nothing like our neighborhoods today. I would go crazy if I lived back in the day during their time. I think there close were tacky and the way they acted so nice in the beginning was just plain old creepy. The story got better ounce the people started fighting and accusing each other. Don say's "Charlie has to be one". Charlie say's "It's the boy" (682). Everyone starts arguing and start to go insane.
I liked the ending of the teleplay and the movie. The teleplay made me start to think it was really one of the people on Maple Street. All the things happening and the arguing really made you think. The accusing is what really got you thinking though like the car and the radio. In the end though the true monsters explain their plan and makes every thing make since. Figure One says " Understand the procedure now"? " Just stop a few machines sit back and watch the pattern"(683).
I liked the teleplay and the movie. I would give it a 6 out f 10. I seemed to like the movie more because I got a visual on what was going on. I thought the acting was bad but it didn't bug me. I didn't like that it was in black and white. The teleplay was cool because we had parts even though I wasn't in it. I could concentrate more because I wasn't in it. I think the author was trying to say that sometime the most harmful thing in life can be your self. That's what I thought about this teleplay.

Review of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

Review of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
By: Austin Sulanke
Rod Serling is the author of the monsters are due on maple street. He oddly became a sci-fi writer. after being a boxer and p.e. teacher. Maybe teaching children jolted his memory and he remembered his childhood and all the fun he had reading science fiction Comics about aliens and space ships. In his book the monsters are due on maple street he invented maple street the eerily average American street in the average American town, where all the neighbors are friends and everyone gets along. The neighbors include Charley the village drunk, don the insomniac, Tommy the boy who seemingly represents the young Rod Serling, and all the women gossiping in the streets. It was good until the over paranoid village people blamed the kid just because he wasn't [ignorant].
I think the people who live on maple street have crazy names like les Goodman his name sounds like less good man. I felt like an elderly person when I was reading the monsters are do on maple street because it was most likely written back in the day of my sixty year old uncle because it was written in the fifty's man. you know right before the groovy sixty's yeah! Anyway in the book everybody knew each other now a days that's very uncommon I do not even know my neighbor and I have lived in the same house for approximately two years. There is a siteiation that I very well understood it was when the little boy, Tommy, was said to be the alien or monster because as a child I was accused for many things and could not prove my innocents for I was a child inferior to adult eyes.
"that is crazy he's a little boy" "but he knew"(P.681.)

A boxer, a future gym teacher, and a writer, all describe Rod Serling, the author of Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. Monsters Are Due... is a series of The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling had made Monsters Are Due... for many reasons, he wanted to be a writer for a television series, he also enjoyed acting in school plays, when he was in high school, and it was just a natural love. Rod Serling made Monsters Are Due... the characters are family and friends, he describes them as simple ordinary people, and that they are use to daily routines in their life, he also describes them as living on just an ordinary street in the 1950s.
I personally think that Monsters Are Due... is a good video and teleplay. One of my favorite parts was when Les Goodman's car started up all by itself. Everyone thought he was an alien, or a monster, and then later on in the story everyone's lights go on in some of the neighbors houses! Some things I didn't expect like when Pete Van Horne got shot by the terrified neighbors, after he was shot everyone screamed and said, "it wasn't a monster it was just Pete Van Horne"(679), but you could kind of tell it was fake blood; it kind of looked like ketchup.
In the 1950s things were a little different like movies weren't as good as today's were, that's only because they didn't have the technology that we use today in our movies. But I did think the camera shots were really good when something bad happens, like the power goes out, and nothing worked. I have also read that many people liked the actors and actresses. I didn't know who any of them were but they were really good, when I watched the video. The main thing I liked was the ending, when the aliens say "By no means. Their world is full of Maple Streets. And we'll go from one to the other and let them destroy themselves". (684) That's when I finally got things.
I seem to like mystery type like things, because I have to watch all of it, or I will go crazy, like C.S.I. I have to watch what happens next, that is kind of how I was when we were reading the teleplay in my 7th grade class, I wanted to read on but I didn't. I think that it was so cool that the teleplay was almost the exact words as the video. I also liked the narrator, the way he talked in the video we watched in class "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man..." (667) Just the way he said it was creepy.
The Twilight Zone was a great series, that's what I have read. I enjoyed watching it and reading it. The characters, they seemed like they were in the "movies". They were in a cute little town and nothing could go wrong. I think that's how Rod Serling set it up as. He set it up as the neighbors, characters, were like one big family. They were real close. I didn't really like the way he set it up though. With the cute little town and nothing could possibly go wrong. It might have been good "back then" but not today, it is to "original".
