Literary Analysis Questions #1
(1) The Plot of "The Martian Chronicles" is a human astronaut lands on Mars, unaware that it's inhabited. One of the Citizens of the small village he lands near, Mrs. Yll(I have no clue how to pronounce that) has recurring dreams of him Landing in the Green valley down the hill from their home. Her Husband dismisses her dreams as just nonsense, but keeps a close eye on her anyways.
(2) The theme of the novel is a Sci-Fi style story of discovery, danger, and most likely love.
(3) The Author is an early riser, and probably spends most of his time on the novel. He drinks coffee to stay awake long enough to get a thought down. A healthy breakfast with Eggs, Bacon, and some OJ.
1- The green Valley down the hill from their home.
2- The angry buzz of the evil weapon, and her husband's silver mask to protect him from the Bees.
3- Her husband walked over to a column. A stream of hot, steamy water gurgled out.
Excerpts like these can't come off the top of your head, you need time to add minute detail to the text.
