The Martian
Us as teenagers may at the first look at the movie The Martian and think its science related. The Martian is about these five astronauts that go to Mars, after they are there for a while a huge storm happened. An antenna goes through one of the members Mark and he died. At least that's what they thought. The rest of the members leave Mars. Mark (who is a astronaut and a botanist) has to try to survive, he doesn't know how long he'll be on Mars or if he'll ever get back to Earth. You might also think that it's just another space movie that's boring and confusing. Well that's completely wrong. The Martian is anything but boring or confusing. It is nothing what you would expect. At first I didn't want to watch it, but after I did I …show more content…

Many problems occur that Mark cannot afford to happen. He uses his rover to drive to other spaces on Mars and finds something interesting. After some time has passed a huge storm develops and rips off the opening to his potato plants and they all freeze and die. He has to replant all of them and put a tarp over the giant hole in the Space Hab. Then in order for him to try to get in contact with anyone he tries to calculate where Ares 4 is going to be and when they're going to be there. Finally NASA notices that there is movement on Mars and Mark is alive. Once again another storm happened and it breaks his whole Space Hab and he has to live out of his Rover. While Mark finds a camera and NASA has the same replica as he does and they connect with him. The only thing is, the camera can only move and point. Therefore Mark can only ask yes or no questions, but he finds a way to do more then that. He sets up posters and writes the hexadecimal system on them and NASA does the same so they can figure out what he is saying. They communicate and try to get him home. Right as Mark is starting to feel relieved two things happen. One he gets part he gets a hole in his helmet and he fixes it by using duck tape. Second the top of his spacecraft breaks off. So for him to get home he uses the same thing he did to cover the potato crop opening. A tarp. Now the tarp isn't going to do that much when he's launching off of Mars thousands of miles per minute is it. Unlike the rest of the space movies out there the astronauts were never in this difficult situations, as Mark had to be. All in all The Martian is such a great pick if you are looking for something different and fun. There are so many more exciting twists throughout the movie. It is very funny and entertaining to

1. The Articles of Confederation had many problems that arose, especially with the national government. States were only issued to have one vote no matter what their population was, support for legislation had to be kept private, and the states had their own power. The Articles of Confederation did not let the national government ask for money, making it harder to achieve all the responsibilities. Individual state governments did not have to agree with any troop requests and could refuse to raise an army.

In his novel, The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury conveys his perspective on American society through the actions of the humans who conquer Mars. Attempting to persuade his audience to be receptive to change, Bradbury criticizes human nature’s ethnocentric personality as they continue to annihilate nature through the ignorance of other cultures. Conveyed by their environmental havoc, Bradbury criticizes human’s greedy persona. By alluding to the colonization of the American West, he portrays self-centered Americans who did not respect the native culture as they annihilated Martian settlements in order to establish an ethnocentric society.

During the movie we learn that on K-PAX there aren't families and when a child is born it is raised by the community. This is vastly different from Earth.
