Mark Watney's The Martian

Have you ever read a book and watched the movie of it after and had that moment when

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.

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.

Throughout The Martian by Andy Weir, leading botanist and mechanical engineer aboard the Ares 3 - Mark Watney -experiences hardships that drive his biggest question: will I survive. Watney struggles to make ends meet as he tries to survive on Mars in a makeshift habitat, and attempts to communicate with his fellow crewmates as well as NASA. As a result of Watney’s circumstances, isolation is a major theme of The Martian, and this theme is showcased throughout his various trials and tribulations.

Although being stuck on Mars seems like a far-fetched idea to most of us, that is exactly what happened to Mark Watney in Andy Weir’s latest science fiction novel, The Martian. Six days after he arrived on the planet on a scheduled NASA mission, the crew experiences a catastrophic dust storm and leave the planet headed towards Earth. One kind of very big problem, they leave him behind. The novel discusses about his survival on Mars for years until a controversial decision by his crew may allow him to be saved. This book will keep on the edge of your seat and we keep you begging for more.

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. For some of the basics, he is on Aries 3 the third mission that has sent humans to mars. All of the use a really big ship to get there and back and by the time they get to mars 13 pre supply missions will have sent everything they will need onto the Martian ground.

In the book The Martian, an astronaut named Mark Watney is thrown into an awful situation on Mars. A sandstorm had come in while they were landing the Ares 3. The crew needed to get out of this trouble. When trying to get back to safety, Mark is hit by debris and is not able to find his crew. 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. They see that Mark's suit is damaged and he going to die. They are forced to abandon Mark on Mars. Throughout the book, Mark, NASA, and Mark's crew show no sign of giving up, and their tenacity to never quit even when obstacles are thrown their way.

fueled by the legitimate examination of both ethical questions created by our eras and of the cultural and psychological standings of the age, which some authors thought Bradbury lacked (Harlow 311-314). Bradbury has endlessly defended that he is not anti-science but that his novel’s purpose is to warn about the future prophetically. Bradbury’s personality shines through as he uses romanticism as he believes that humans can reinvent themselves, making the Earth a better and carving a place for themselves in history. Yet, his writing has a sense of realism as well, connecting the unavoidable war on Earth as a harsh reality check. Realist portions include the destruction of the landscape, crystal cities destroyed by the bullets of war, the plainness

“The Martian” is a sci-fi novel which recounts the story of Mark Watney through his log entries. Watney is an astronaut who was caught in an accident on Mars and was left behind by his friends who thought he was dead. Watney has to overcome many obstacles by himself and become the first person to live in Mars.

Imagine exploring a vast, unexplored land with some friends when they leave the island because of an emergency, without you, except that “unexplored land” is Mars. That is what happened to Mark Watney in The Martian. He is trapped on Mars and tries to the best of his ability to survive. He learns to grow food, partly because he is a botanist, and travels over 3000 miles to the next Ares mission site. Ares is the name of the missions to Mars. Where he will fly to orbit and meet his crewmates who flew back to rescue him. The same storyline is followed in the movie with some of the most important parts of the book still included. The movie is an accurate representation of the book because the main character does not change, a quote that was left

In the Martian Chronicles there were multiple people who had different views on the way they should use Mars. For example Jeff Spender, can see that his men do not have respect for this planet, so he decides that he should kill off the crew in an effort to preserve Mars. Father Peregrine was a priest and wants to convert the Martians to Christianity and is ready to adapt and change around them. He doesn’t want to change them because he understands that he is on their planet.

The Martian by Andy Weir is one of the most realistic science fiction books you will ever read. Filled with a page turning plotline, Andy Weir sends the reader on an intergalactic journey. The book opens up right away to a young astronaut, Mark Watney, who is stranded on Mars after his team and him get separated during a sand storm. Immediately the reader is amused by Watneys’ humor and positive attitude towards anything that comes his way. The only way Watney can express his thoughts and ideas is through his logs, which he records, everyday. The dialogue at times can be dry and boring, due to the amount of science and math needed to explain interplanetary space travel. However, Weir makes up for this later in the story when he includes humorous

Europa Report (2013) focuses on a team of scientists and astronauts that are on a mission to explore and report on Europa, Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon with a surface of water theorized to be possibly able to support life. From the earliest known times when space was observed, “cosmological speculations” about life and the details thereof have been highly debated from the earliest of times (Beck 5). With technology exponentially developing, the search for life continues to attract attention and is commonly a topic of media, leaving film producers like those of Europa Report to fill in many of the gaps about life that just haven’t been discovered yet.

By the way I think about mark watney that he is astronauts and he had really work hard for the astronauts. May be he had endure so many things but I can not, so i'm not interested in business. I can start my own businesses but I’m not interested in businesses. My skill is to be a physiotherapist.
