Compare And Contrast The Martian And The Russian

Another great invention the Martians had in order to adapt to their environment, was to conserve their limited water supply since Mars was quite dry. A “gentle rain sprang from the fluted pillar tops, cooling the scorched air, falling gently on [Ylla]. On hot days it was like walking in a creek. The floors of the house flittered with cool streams” (Bradbury 2-3). Although the Martian technology seemed quite advance, they had not allowed it to take over their lives. Compared to the people on Mars, technology dominated every aspect of Earthmen lives, from having to check messages while going to the bathroom to not being able to sleep without your phone (Feature). The Martians had become so advance in their technological development that instead of polluting Mars with waste, and paper product, they create books from durable metal. The people on Mars, whose ancestors originated from Earth, had realized their mistakes of uncontrolled technological creations that damaged their planet, and through that lesson they have been able to create a new civilization where their technological advances are used to further their harmonious relationship with nature and not destroy it.

A major turning point in the authors’ life was when he attended Gallaudet University. At Gallaudet, he was surrounded by deaf peers and signing professors. To him, this was unbelievable. He was no longer behind from interpreters relaying information after it had already been said. Mark expresses this emotional state by saying he is no longer “living in a fishbowl anymore” (pg. 111). At one point earlier in the book, Mark compares himself to someone born underwater having to live in a glass bubble; someone who is unfortunately an outcast from the rest. But with the help of special scuba diving gear, you had the ability to interact and swim with the other fish. Although the scuba gear was accommodating in many ways, it was “heavy and uncomfortable, and as much as it helped you interact with the fish, you never were able to swim like them” (Pg. 44). In order to find out who he

Along in with the author’s use of metaphors is the frequent use of imagery. In this reading, it is simple to envision the scenes as the different scenarios are explained and the audience can easily picture Staples in the places he is describing and also the people he comes across. Perhaps the most powerful and memorable imagery is provided in the author’s description of people’s different reactions and faces when they come into contact with him. Actions speak volumes and an immediate change of facial expression is possibly one of the

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.

     The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury, is a science-fiction book and was written in 1946. This major work by Bradbury is a collection of short stories relating to Mars or Martians. Bradbury had a clear vision of the Mars in which these stories are set. His vision was one of a fantasy world from the Martians point of view. In this work, the humans from Earth are the aliens from outer space. Bradbury has won many awards including the O. Henry Memorial Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, the Aviation-Space Writers Association Award, the World Fantasy Award for lifetime achievement, and the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. Bradbury supported his awards

Nonetheless, this initial glance of Burroughs’ work is highly deceptive. Though John Carter is violent, he only fights in self- defense or in the defense of his dependents like his Martian watchdog, Woola, and his love interest, Dejah Thoris. He exhibits a sense of morals and justice that Marinetti clearly rejects in his manifesto. Burroughs’ stress on the value of morality is further solidified by the comparison between the Tharks, the green Martians, and the red Martians of Helium. The green Martians are warlike, uncultured, and unjust, which contributes to their backwardness. On the other hand, the red Martians are highly civilized because they show fairness, lawfulness, and love.

He often is described in a way that shows a lack of confidence and self-esteem:“a shaggy, thick-necked fellow; his coat was greasy about the lapels and pockets, and his hand splayed over the cane's crook with a futile sort of clinging.” (149) This appearance suggests that Markwardt has let the chemical accident affect the way that he presents himself to the world, now in a negative way. Markwardt’s lack of consideration for others is shown when he tells a deceitful lie that is described as a “... bitter and studied drama of a story often told, and told for money. ”(150)

1. My initial response to this story is that I'm intrigued. The story had this way of almost cloaking what was really happening. It made each death or event seem like it was a dream and the way everything was described it hooked you into the story.

Andy Weir’s debut novel, The Martian, depicts the story of Mark Watney, an astronaut left behind on the harsh planet of Mars. An astonishing tale of survival and the will to live, The Martian is a new and modern alternative to the survival genre.
