The Twilight Zone Episode, "It's a Good Life"

In this episode of the Twilight Zone, there is a child named Anthony who affects other people in a crazy way. He does not act very differently from others at first, but has a special ability that allows him to listen to people’s thoughts and to make people “disappear” whenever he likes. Anthony gets angry when people around him are not thinking good thoughts. I noticed that Anthony affects people in a way that makes them very scared and nervous about what they say around him. Characters in this episode tend to say things like “that is very good, very good,” to keep the peace with Anthony and the people around him. I think that it would be very scary to be around a mutant child with abilities similar to Anthony’s. You would have to be very careful about what you say and do or you may “disappear” at any time.
At the beginning of this episode I thought that Anthony was just a normal kid because he looks and acts in pretty much the same ways, although one thing I noticed was that he is very quiet. I wondered why Anthony did not say much. When he did talk, it was just a small comment or a short reply to someone’s question. I think that this trait of Anthony’s makes his image as a mutant child even creepier. I feel like this would make it hard for someone to tell if what they are thinking is making him angry, and you definitely would not want to make Anthony angry when you are around him!
