Andy Wier's The Martian

The Martian is arguably one of my favorite books because of the fantastic tone and character development. The Martian follows Mark Watney, a scientist who majored in botany and mechanical science. He get stranded on mars after a dust storm knocks out communications with NASA and the rest of his crew leaves when they believe he is dead from shrapnel in the storm.

Frontiersmen have existed throughout America’s history. According to Turner’s hypothesis, they push forwards for civilization and have shaped America. The stories All the Pretty Horses, The Gift of Cochise, and The Martian are all works of frontier literature. Each in their own way show frontiersmen during different times in America’s history with characters that interact with their respective frontiers in different ways. Through these three books one can see how the core interactions between frontiersmen and the frontiers call out the qualities of frontiersmen stated in Turner’s frontier hypothesis.

His crew all successfully got back to the Mars ascent vehicle but Mark. The crew is taught to never leave a man behind. They search for him but the sandstorm created low visibility.

Tension, humor, and foreshadowing are some examples of elements that readers will find in The Martian. In The Martian, astronaut Mark Watney is left behind on Mars. Because of a dust storm, Mark's teammates believe that he is dead and left him behind. The Martian is a science fiction book that gives readers an idea of how people might be able to colonize Mars and gives readers an idea of what space is like. The Martian has an author that self-published his book, and who used humor and foreshadowing to keep his readers engaged.

Technology is occupying more and more positions with every passing day in our everyday lives. They have a presence in numerous aspects of our being, serving as helping devices first and foremost. Mankind has been questioning the merit of such a way of development, when a human being starts relying on technology more than on oneself. Such questioning began as far back as the middle of the previous century. Ray Bradbury in his collection of short stories "The Martian Chronicles" makes numerous predictions regarding the future of technologies and their place within the society. Remarkably, he was not too far off in his assumptions. One of the primary ideas is that the technologies may occupy the role of the next deity that would substitute religion.

The movie “The Martian” was released in 2015 and was described as an amusing and insightful science fiction film. The film received positive response and the leading man was nominated for several awards. The movie focused on the conflicts faced by the astronaut that had to stay at Mars alone. These problems did not make him to blame others or to give up, yet he figure out on how to survive on his own under these circumstances. “The Martian” not only shows us the astronaut’s ingenuity and courage, but also his personality as an unremitting and determining character.

People choose to see the best aspects in things and but some tend to see the worst. In The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, the plot is represented as optimistic, but also pessimistic. Bradbury is portrayed his ideas as a pessimistic because he brought the idea of that man is parasitic and ruins the environment wherever he goes, he presents the transition of the Martian culture with the Earthling’s, and reveals the destruction of Earth as the atomic war broke out.

In the year 2035, Mark Watney is left stranded on Mars after his crew were struck by a huge dust storm and Watney was believed to have been killed. Now Watney has to use his wit and ingenuity to figure out how to grow crops, make water, and travel 3200 km to the next NASA landing site in hopes of being rescued in another 400 days. Andy Weir tells this story in such a way that putting the book down is difficult to say the least. Every time Watney accomplishes a task he is faced with another challenge. The way that Weir portrays Watney as a smart and ingenious guy, but is also fallible makes Watney relatable to reader, which makes Watney seem human and easy to root for at the same time, which is what makes this book so great.

The beginning of this book starts with Mark Watney a mechanical engineer and botanist describing his current situation, how mars missions work and how he managed to get into his predicament of being stranded on mars alone.

Life is unpredictable and that is the beauty of science fiction; writers are able to create a world, which is plausible enough to engage an audience and suck them into a world they may have never experienced before reading that book. The human condition, in these very situations, becomes delicate and fragile even though real people have not lived through them because these sci-fi worlds relate to moments we all understand. The themes of fear, survival, persistence, resilience, and the power of the human spirit are undeniable experiences that transcends all cultural barriers and languages. All of these also hold true in the book The Martian, written by Andy Weir. Although all of these themes hold true in The Martian, the theme of ingenuity shows
