Reaction Paper: Nightfall

Isaac Asimov's Nightfall tells the story of Lagash, a planet that never had a sunset, the people had never seen the stars, the beauty and coldness of night. It also tells the story of people never inventing light bulbs or lamps or anything that would produce light.

This story revolves around the branch of science, astronomy and psychology. Atronomy because the writer focused more on what the night would be like with all the stars and the heavenly bodies seen. Psychology because the author wants to see the reaction of the people in Lagash when they would experience night time.


The only thing that came into my mind were questions 'What if this happened to us?' 'What if we didn't know anything about night and would only see eclipses?' 'What would our reactions be?'
