How Does Bradbury Use Syntax In Martian Chronicles

the setting and society by using figurative language, such as symbolism and imagery. Using characterization, and imagery, Bradbury shows the reader how society has lost its humanity and how it goes hand in hand with the setting and characters of the short story. Society in 2053 has become dependent on technology, brainwashed by television and expected not to think differently, showing that society has lost it's grasp on humanity and human nature. The atmosphere established by Bradbury shows that the city is dark, paralleling to the surroundings of a graveyard. Mr. Mead's world is shown as blank, and his character can be viewed as divergent due to him

According to Holst, the suite was written about the ‘seven influences of destiny and constituents of our spirit’. Each planetary portrait is based on its astrological attributes, with Mars noted as being the ruler of our aggression, survival instinct and animal like nature.

Ray Bradbury is an amazing author and has his own distinct way of writing, but he always discovers a way to make his stories similar in some way. Bradbury is an American author who has won many awards. There are three stories in particular he has written, “A Sound Of Thunder”, “The Veldt”, and “The Pedestrian”. He puts the same writing technique in all of his stories, imagery. Bradbury uses imagery to grab the reader's attention by giving amazing detail and explanation on certain parts of his stories, to create an amazing picture which makes it easier to visualize.

Figurative language is powerful, and Bradbury is not afraid of a metaphor. He uses an excessive amount to orchestrate

The second theme, that Ray Bradbury discusses is the change occurring around Mr and Mrs Bittering. In the story, it is said that very dim gold flecks are starting to appear in the eyes of the humans. Also, the plants that they are growing on Mars are changing in colour, as is the taste of food. These show change, everything is changing and is out of the Bitterings control. With the food and their bodies changing, this is presented as creating a great fear inside the character. One I experience fear that was when I moved from our farm into the city. It was the biggest change of my life, moving from 20,000 acre of land surrounding me to only ¼ of an acre. This created great fear inside me because I have never lived in a town before or gone to a school with 500 students. I felt claustrophobic in town and scared. The Martians must have something to do with the change of the humans on mars and have in some way felt like me. The changing of them could be some kind of punishment to the humans because they have invaded there land.

In the beginning of the novel, Ray Bradbury focuses on figurative language to convey his theme. Throughout the first part, Bradbury uses many forms of figurative language such similes, metaphors, and irony. One example of figurative language is on page 56, with the quote “there was no longer need of firemen for the old purposes. They were given a new job, as custodians of our peace of mind.” (Bradbury 56). This quote is a metaphor because it compares the new job

His first example is when Leonard Mead’s town and how the homes are at night is being explained. “Sudden gray phantoms seemed to maifest upon inner room walls where a curtain was still undrawn against the night, or there were whisperings and murmurs where a window in a tomblike building was still open” (“The Pedestrian 96”). The reader now gets a feeling of how obscene this town and the world possibly is in this time making thoughts of other things that might be different occur. Later, as Leonard Mead is walking, a police car rolls up to him and questions what he’s doing, which is the next example. “A metallic voice called to him: ‘Stand still. Stay where you are! Don’t move!” (“The Pedestrian 98”). This part of the story especially adds suspense to the story since all Mr. Mead is doing is walking. One wouldn’t think that a man walking would be approached as he was in present time. The last example is after Leonard is questioned and the police car ends up wanting to take him somewhere. “The back door of the police car sprang wide. ‘Get in’. (“The Pedestrian 100”). The reader now knows the car is computer operated, but not where Leonard Mead is being taken which could be confusing and keep the story interesting. The mysterious atmosphere of Leonard Mead’s town simply adds suspense right away and Bradbury continues to build off that as the story moves

The Martian Chronicles is a novel where earth inhabitants decide to make a new life on Mars. There is a fantasy-like idealism that the people have with Mars, and believe that the planet will create total bliss, but the problem with this is that there are citizens who already created an established life and are unhappy with the new visitors from Earth. In reality, travelling to a new place and expecting it to overwrite everything they’ve ever experienced, can result in unfulfillment.

Bradbury uses figurative language to express his concern about how powerful governments manipulate citizens. For instance, when everyone was watching the chase, the announcer says, “Police suggest entire population in the Elm Terrace area do as follows: Everyone in every house in every street open a front or rear door or look from the windows… He imagined thousands on thousands of faces peering into yards, into alleys, and into the sky, faces hid by curtains, pale, night-frightened faces, like grey animals peering from electric caves, faces with grey colourless eyes, grey tongues and grey thoughts looking out through the numb flesh of the face“ (131-132). The figurative language used in the context is a simile, comparing the people looking outside to grey animals, with grey faces, that are mindless and obedient. The color gray is referred to the blandness people have become used to. Everyone is grey, dissatisfied and ordinary. Just like if they were like mindless pets, obeying what they were being told to do by their owner. The government is the owner of the pet (people), being forced to obey the government's commands.

Throughout the beginning of the passage, the author uses an array of different rhetorical devices to give us a glimpse about Douglas Spaulding's feelings towards the beginning of summer.Ray Bradbury utilizes personification in sentences 1 through 5. For example "The town covered over with darkness...the wind had the proper touch, the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow." The author drives a clear picture of a mysterious atmosphere by the use of the word "Darkness". By adding "The wind had the proper touch."

Bradbury uses figurative language and incorrect sentence structure to enhance the thought process in Montag's head. When the rain was

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.

Bradbury may have had this included to show the faults in humanity. Some people are intrusive and pry in on people’s lives like the humans did to the martians not only by physically walking into someone's house
