Literary ANALYSIS
I Character & Plot: In this story the main characters is a very broad selection. But first we are going to talk about Mark Watney. Just by reading the back of the book for the summary you can tell that someone had got lost on mars and his name was Mark Watney. Mark Watney was one of six people that had taken the long travel to mars. At the beginning of the story they were in the MAV during the day and they had seen on the radar that their had been a very bad storm coming. This storm had come earlier than they had thought. They had to leave the mission early because their was a chance that this storm could be deadly to the mav and to them theirselves. They would have to take the rocket and boost their way back up to the hermes. So they all have left the MAV and made their way to the rocket. It was at this moment that Mark Watney had been hit by the antenna and he had been left behind. Now that you know how he was left behind we will talk about him a little bit more. Mark himself is a Biochemist and his mission was to figure out how to grow plants on the planet of mars. Mark was a prankster, a joker, a patient, and a very nice man. He was the glue that held everyone together on that ares mission. Second crew member was Melissa Lewis better known as Commander Lewis. She was the on in charge of the whole mission. She gives commands of when thinkgs happen and what happens next. She is pretty much the depending factor of the future. Next we have Dr. Christopher Beck. This guy takes a big role when it come to injuries. He has a masters degree in a surgery processing. Next crew mate is Rick Rodriguez. He is the person that actually takes the whole crew to earth and back and on the rocket from mars to the hermes. Next is Beth johansen. She is the technology expert. When ever anything tech breaks shes there to fix it. And last is Alex Vigel. THis guy is the last of the crew but certainly not the least important. He is the navigator of the crew.
Symbols: I believe that the actual planet could be a symbol for peoples mind and them thinking about science fiction. This is because it can show that at first they had thought nothing of it but when he gets back to earth that could be the after if the project of how the minds turned out in the end. I believe the amount of time it took to actually get back too earth could be a symbol of how long it took to write the book and again the earth was a beauty symbol for how amazing the book actually turned out.
