Recommended: Mark watney character analysis

The book introduces us to the setting in the probably near future on Mars. NASA was sending manned missions to Mars to collect rocks or perform tests on the red planet. They were planned to send five missions in five separate locations but turns out that the third mission, Ares 3, failed in six SOLs (amount of time light has been exposed on the surface, basically a Mars day) due to a sandstorm that caused an evacuation. The main character is the Ares 3 astronaut named Mark Watney who was abandoned on Mars during the evacuation. His goal is simply to survive, but that can’t be easy. The rising action begins after the evacuation where Watney awakes after the sandstorm with the antenna puncturing himself and his suit. Luckily, his blood combined

Hatchet is a book about survival written by Gary Paulsen with the experience he had before. Paulsen lived just as his character in Hatchet lived in the wilderness, also he tried making fire with a hatchet and rocks himself, and succeeded to write the book with such description and realty. This book is one of a kind, and has a very unique way of describing and writing. Also the character, Brian Robeson and the author, Gary Paulsen have a connection between their fourth dimensional personality (the author gave to Brian) that you cannot find easily anywhere. I highly recommend this book to any type of being that can read.

I read the book “Into the Abyss” written by Carol Shaben. I chose this book because I have always known that I wanted to be a pilot and reading a book about a plane crash drew me in, especially after reading the summary, I knew that I wanted to read it. When I chose this book I really didn’t know anything about the book except for the fact that the survivors were the pilot, a politician, a cop and the criminal that was handcuffed to. Into the Abyss is about four men, Larry Shaben a politician , Erik Vogel the pilot, Scott Deschamps a cop, and Paul Archambault a criminal, surviving a plane crash in Canada. It all started when they all wanted to go home but we're running late because of the pilot's errors.

It starts out with a foreshadowing of the mission with the flight from Jalalabad over to Abbottabad and gives a general idea of what the majority of the work is going to be focused on. In this time it gives the reader a sample of the rest of the novel and makes the reader want to read more into the book to find out who this guy really is and why he was selected and is willing to accept this daunting task of finding and killing Osama bin Laden. Once reading further into the story, the reader understands what Mr. Owen has gone through.
