Watney's Situation On Mars Analysis

The following is a case study of a lesson by Mr. Villanueva reviewing lessons on the planet Mars for an upcoming test. Mr. Villanueva uses many different ways of incorporating both semantic memory and episodic memory as well as the demonstration of long-term memory in his lesson. During the lesson, the importance of attention in memory and recall is seen throughout. This paper describes and inspects the Mars in Review case and what theories were incorporated into this lesson. It critically examines each aspect of this lesson and the correlation between behaviorist theories of learning.

"The room goes suddenly white, as if struck by lightening. I stare down, amazed. He has torn off my arm at the shoulder! Blood pours down where the limb was." (p172)

Imagery/Parallelism: “Doctors examined her inside and out, pressing on her stomach, inserting new catheters into her bladder, fingers into her vagina and anus, needles into her veins.” (40)

This piece is called, Mars Venus and Vulcan: The Forge of Vulcan, it is an oil canvas done by John Singleton Copley, done in 1754. The era that this piece most represents is the Eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries of art in Europe and North America. This is because of the brief use of nudity and the use of children that are shown as little angels. The artist also used a sense of time and motion. It is as if the figures in the piece are moving themselves. The use of 3-D and kinetics allows this sense of movement in this piece. Also the artist used repetition and rhythm. The viewer’s eye is constantly moving because of this sense of repetition and rhythm

In Document C we learn about the death of US Air Marshal Edward Mars. Mars was injured really bad and was suffering with a great deal of pain. Jack tried his best to relieve his pain, but had little medicine. Mars assumed that Kate would take him out of his misery but instead she gave her gun to Sawyer. Sawyer tried to kill him by aiming at the heart but he missed and punctured his lung that just made him suffer even more. Jack ends his life to stop him from suffering. I don’t think that Mars was murdered. He was killed but he asked for it and Jack as a doctor knew he wasn't going to get any better and knew what was best for him. If there was someone to blame it would be Kate because she already is a criminal that was trusted with a gun. She tried to play it innocent and knew she would get in trouble for killing Mars himself so she let Sawyer do the job. By definition murder is the unlawful killing of another human being without justification or a valid excuse. In the end the person who did kill him was Jack, he did have a valid excuse but Sawyer didn’t.

     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

While Watney does seem to have an upbeat personality throughout The Martian his loneliness is ever present. The main character finds himself realizing that he is the first to accomplish many things on Mars (because he is the only human there). This show of isolation can be seen when Watney says “It’s a strange feeling. Everywhere I go, I’m the first. Step outside the rover? First guy ever to be there! Climb a hill? First guy to climb that hill! Kick a rock? That rock hadn’t moved in a million years” (88!) While Watney does recognize

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.

Paper Topic and Annotated Bibliography of The Martian Novel and Film Study Andy Weir’s novel, The Martian, is part of a shift in science fiction film and literature, representative of an era of scientific literacy. Weir’s novel is written partially as an epistolary novel from the perspective of Mark Watney, a marooned Ares III astronaut. Set in the not too distant future, Weir worked tirelessly to ensure scientific accuracy throughout the novel; the film is also dedicated to nearly complete scientific accuracy. The novel’s fascinating publication process reflects mainstream reader desire – as opposed to small, specific audience desire – for stories that focus on scientific accuracy, especially as compared to early science fiction film and

The Martian is a book about an astronaut named Mark Watney, he is a botanist and mechanical engineer stranded on Mars by his crew after they witnessed him being impaled in a Martian sandstorm by some debris. This all happened during Watney and his crews attempt to leave Mars due to increasingly powerful windstorms. Watney somehow survived being hit by the debris and now that his crew has left him he is stranded on Mars on his own. Watney must find a way to survive and make communication with NASA. In order to survive Watney has to come up with a bunch of genius and crazy inventions. Watney must do this to survive long enough for NASA to rescue him. Some of Watney's inventions include: farming potatoes using water made from rocket fuel, modifying

“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.

The character Mark Watney in the book, “The Martian”, had to deal with a food shortage. In the story, Watney had to survive 549 days on Mars and had to produce around 149 days worth of food. Watney had to create an environment to plant potatoes. These plants would need water, heat, and nutrients. He obtained the amount of water with the amount he could get from the water reclaimed and separating hydrazine. Watney used an iridium catalyst and he would put a drop of hydrazine (rocket fuel) to get hydrogen and nitrogen gas. The atmospheric regulator would remove the nitrogen gas, but the hydrogen wouldn’t be removed. Then, Watney removed most of the oxygen from the hab and began the chemical reaction of the hydrogen and the oxygen becoming water.

The author’s purpose is why the author wrote what he did. Typically, the intent of the author is to persuade, inform, or entertain. In War of the Worlds, the author’s goal didn’t seem to be making the reader do or believe something. Similarly, the author didn’t seem to be trying to give facts about anything, especially since Martians haven’t walked this Earth. So, that leaves entertaining - giving amusement. This novel has many components that would be considered enjoyable. For example, the entire concept of Martians coming to Earth is revolutionary. Also, the creatures that are the Martians may appeal to anyones imagination - “A big greyish rounded bulk, the size, perhaps, of a bear, was rising slowly and painfully out out of the cylinder.

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.

There are many factors that would go into determining the worth of sending a human to Mars including: cost, discovery, risk, and benefit. An exhibition to send a human to Mars would be extremely expensive, and given the current economical state of our nation, the money could be better spent. Despite this, the potential gain of more scientific information and data about Mars could provide an incentive for the spending of such a large sum. Also, there is a huge risk of lives for those who intend to make the perilous journey. Not only are human lives in jeopardy, but the unpredictable nature of space could spell disaster for the mission as a whole because something could happen that would prevent the reaching of Mars; therefore, everything would be for naught.
