Most of the story takes place from a vantage point close to Hollis. It begins after the ship has already exploded. Kaleidoscope" really is a plot-wise story.
#KALEIDOSCOPE RAY BRADBURY FULL#
Through a simple accident in space, a rocket full of astronauts explodes and its crew is strewn across the emptiness, falling until their oxygen runs out, or until they collide with meteors or the Moon, or the Earth. This is a kind of deeply philosophical and introspective tale, which is the hallmark of Bradburys writing. The bright colors and hanging views, it is an interesting story but not one that is so funny to read.įrom the very beginning we know that these men are dead and everything that we are able to do is Just to watch them are dyeing without much hope. The name itself gives us an idea what this story is about. "Kaleidoscope," which appears in Bradburys remarkable short story collection, The Illustrated Man, is a story that literally sends you up into outer space. Even so, I can safely say that he is one of the best writers IVe ever read. IVe never read as many stories written by a single author before. Even in death, Hollis was a ray of hope to others.Kaleidoscope by Ray Bradbury I am fortunate enough to take a wonderful course that solely focused on Bradbury and his work, taught by his very own biographer. The boy’s mother looked up to this star and told him to make a wish. As Hollis is falling to Earth, a boy looked up to him and thought of him as a shooting star. He knew that he would burn like a meteor when he hit the atmosphere, but did not know if he would be seen. Hollis – not wanting to die nor wanting to live – knew his fate was Earth. The friends said goodbye.Įach man left knew their time was limited they said goodbye. Hollis looks to the stars and saw nothing but a whirlpool of gems and colors. God, it’s beautiful, all that metal.” Stone’s character turns from being scared, to accepting his death and joins the stars. You get all kinds of colors and shapes and sizes. “I think I’m in the Myrmidone cluster that goes out past Mars and in toward Earth once every five years. He tells the men of the stars about a group of meteors. Out from the depths of the cosmos, a voice rings out: Stone’s. Did all dying people feel this way, as if they had never lived?” After silence and contemplation on Hollis’s part, he spoke: “It’s all over Lespere!” “From this outer edge of his life, looking back, there was only one remorse, and that was only that he wished to go on living. All the men from the ship would die in one way or another out in space. But now, falling in space, Hollis knew that none of those things Lespere had done in the past truly mattered. He came from drinking, gambling, and had a wife on Mars and one of Venus. Lespere was a man of strong words and a colourful world. Hollis was the one to make it stop: he killed Stimson. Hollis attempts to talk sense into his frightened head Stimson held to his fear and began to scream. “Oh, it’s a long way down… I don’t want to die, it’s a long way down,” said a voice through the walkies. The men were scared, and for the most part, Hollis was the one to put them at ease. The Captain is destined to hit the moon, Hollis for earth, but each of them falling in space. It is revealed to us, early on, that each man in this story is destined for something different. Stone is a man filled with fear at the start of the story, and Hollis is the only one who can bring a sense of peace to his mind. Hollis is first brought into play after a man named Stone calls out to him. One of the first characters introduced is a man named Hollis. Many men are thrown from this ship in various different directions at thousands of miles per hour: each with their own different fate. In the opening line, Bradbury says that a spaceship has been ripped up “with a giant can opener”. In Ray Bradbury’s short story entitled “Kaleidoscope”, are a variety of different characters.
