Question

summary of the story "star ducks"

Answer 1

"The Star ducks" is a science fiction short story written by Bill Brown. The Star duck was published in 1950 in a well-known magazine of Fantasy and science fiction. Most of Bill Brown stories are based on his personal experiences during the World War II and his voyages around the world. Even though he had died without receiving any recognition for his works, his stories will be remembered for his brilliant imagination and witty style. In this story in particular, Brown's message is to highlight, in a funny and clever way, the different values and life style between country people and those who lived in the city round the 50's. The plot revolves around Ward Rafferty, a reporter of The Times, who is called from the city to the country to investigate a mysterious plane crash near the Alsop farm. At the moment he arrives at the farm, he has to face a series of incidents and unusual event typical of "The Three Stooges". The Alsops are not aware that the airplane crash occurred in their property many year ago was, in fact, an alien landing. Mr. and Mrs. Alsop are naive folks who lives isolated and have little contact to the outside world; for that reason, they are quite unlikely to realize the amazing encounter from outer space. Ward Rafferty, on the contrary, is desperate to gather evidence to prove the existence of other form of life. Despite that the characters are not well-developed, the plot is absolutely riveting. Thought-out the story one cannot help but to sympathize with Rafferty's misfortunes. If you want to have a good laugh, I would recommend this short story. It is full of humorous and even ridiculous situations one after another. One comes to realise that the Alsops, despite being described as stupid people, are smart and honest hardworking people. What's more, they were private of all the technology and the information that one takes from granted when you grow up in the city.
