Alienation In The Martian Chronicles

Alienation is a feeling of emotional isolation or exclusion from others and can be in the form of physical and mental and it is most often a combination of these forms. Throughout history and to the present day, hostility and prejudice continue to divide the human race because of the indifferences of people. Alienation can be a driving force that pushes human conscience to extremes as humans feel painfully alienated from social institutions that surround them. Friends, family, and society can all be suspects of alienation, and for victims, drastic changes consequently occur. In the literary works of “First Ice”, First Day, and Shinny Game Melted the Ice, the main characters experience such hostility and exclusion from friends, family, and society.

Conflict: This is where I ran into a little bit of an issue. Technically the main conflict of the story would be man vs. the Martian society or simply man vs. aliens. However I believe there to be a certain element of man vs. himself or his own mind. The earth crew was desperately trying to figure things out, scrambling for ideas and rationales. If they were hypnotized or brain washed the aliens were responsible, but the aliens more than likely fed off feelings and wants that already laid within the minds of the crew. The desire to see them again, the memories and thoughts of the families and friends and what not, but that is just my opinion.

Alienation is an important literary theme that can be found throughout Hermans story, Bartleby the Scrivener. It appears near Bartleby’s death

The human idea of love is quite possibly the most misunderstood in today’s society. Love can be between a man and woman, mother/father and their kids, or even really good friends. However, these relationships of love go through many interactions and stages to start and progress. Many psychological events must occur and be worked through in order to be successful. All relationships must endure the five perspectives of human behavior. These perspectives are biological, learning, social and cultural, cognitive, and psychodynamic influences.

    To understand how the ‘other side,’ or the different race, feels, it is important to consider their perspective. Bradbury delves into this in “Mars is Heaven!” when he addresses how the Martians view the incoming humans. The protagonist of his story considers that “Just suppose that there were Martians living on Mars and they saw our ship coming and saw us inside our ship and hated us” (219). The author points to how human beings may view Martians as otherworldly savages, although they may feel the same

In The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury there are many differences between humans and martians. One of the biggest ones, aside from the obvious being from different planets, physical appearance, and telepathy is that the humans want everything to do with the martians while the martians want nothing to do with the humans. This is shown by the humans knocking on doors constantly and even just walking into a martians house in “The Earth Men” and by the martians ignoring or even killing the humans before they even interact with them much.

When the inhabitants of Mars open the door of the ship, the martians escort lone astronaut out. The astronaut is astonished at the appearance of the aliens, for they look exactly like humans. They martians speak English and dress just like the people on Earth. Later in the episode, the astronaut becomes a part of a Martian zoo. This hints to the fact that just like humans on Earth, martians want to study and cage those who are unlike them.

There is some unexplained phenomenon in the universe. Curiosity has been an integral role in finding answers, leading to our species’ advancement. From the discovery of fire by ancient ancestors to modern space explorations, it has been of curiosity and pursuit for a better future that has made humans explore and innovate. The idea for such adventures has been part of fiction such as Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man. In this book with 18 science fiction short stories published in 1951, Bradbury explores the nature of mankind. A recurring theme is the clash between technology and psychology of people, along with the frame story of a tattooed vagrant dubbed “the Illustrated Man,” which links the disparate stories together. However, exploration and innovation has never come without sacrifice. In regard to modern space exploration, the efforts to explore the universe has had negative effects including the loss of lives, a tremendous investment of money, as well as adverse environmental effects both within the planet earth and the solar system. The idea of space travelling and giving life to other planets has long been part of the human imagination. Today this idea seems to be close to becoming a reality through the Mars One project, as this project plans to send 100 people to Mars by 2024 to from the first human colony there. These sacrifices have made in efforts of propelling humanity into its most technologically and scientifically advanced stages.

Love stands-out to be one of the most prevalent qualities known to humans and found in any relationship. Not to mention, the world is a place where most people seek love. No matter who or what it is, love can be expressed to anyone, ranging from family to the public or work, and to romantic relationships. Showing love to someone can be represented in multiple ways, such as taking care, supporting others in need, or simply saying ‘I love you’ to someone. The focus here is on love in relationships. In romantic relationships, love builds further emotions and enables one to develop more character traits and personalities to their love. In the novel “Eleanor and Park” by Rainbow Rowell, the two protagonists Eleanor and Park show how they resolve conflicts in their relationship, as they both have sentiments of love throughout the novel and discover more emotions and traits with each other, from the heart. Acknowledging this allows one to say that love enables one to show courage, supported by the bus scene when Eleanor was ecstatic, the bus students bullying Eleanor, and Eleanor’s conflict with her family but solved with the help of Park.

Paper #1 Love is a deep feeling that makes people has strong emotions to each other. When love exists in a relationship, the relationship will be stronger and would confront biggest problems. People would feel lost without love because it is the cure for loneliness and sadness. For example, if two people love each other and one of them is poor, the other person would not care about the money more than the relationship because they have strong feelings into each other. Therefore, every relationship must be based on love because it is a priceless cure.
