Mrs.Welch ELA: Book Blog #1
Mark Watney is on top of the world well on top Mars that is, but now he has established communications with NASA, he has enough food and water until NASA send him a cache of food from Earth. But due to some technical errors the Hab (Mark's home) was destroyed. Even mark's potato farm (his only way of surviving Mars) was destroyed, Mark also lost communications with NASA. Due to these series of unfortunate events NASA has sped up the proceed to send Mark Watney food to survive that red desolate wasteland. Can Mark Watney rebuild the Hab, can NASA be able to send Mark Watney supplies on Mars, Tune in next time to find out.
Question #6
If I could ask the author one question it would be how was he capable of making a book that makes you feel what the charters are feeling. For instance when they are about to send the rocket into space to send Mark Watney some supplies, the characters felt anxiety, the presser, and stress that was building up to that moment because they didn't know what was going to happen to the rocket and they the anxiety, that stress, the presser was starting to get to me as well.
Question #9
One passage from the story that I found was strange was when he a going for his second harvest of potatoes. The story states "It's almost time for the second harvest. Ayup. I wish I had a straw hat and some suspenders."(page 149, The Martian). The reason why I found this to be a strange passage is because who would say something like that in a crucial/serious situation. That passage will also be memorable because this show how Mark Watney deal with stress and presser.
