All of the colonized regions had their own culture and government, but because the West was so much stronger, they were taken over.

Where to begin? In the beginning of the book Red Mars, the character Arkady states that “History is not evolution! It is a false analogy! Evolution is a matter of environment and chance, acting over millions of years. But history is a matter of environment and choice, acting within lifetimes, and sometimes within years, or months, or days! History is Lamarckian! ” (Robinson 88). Arkady is stating that we choose our own history. Over the course of the book, the story of Mars twists and turns, and becomes something completely different. Mars changes from red to green.

It starts of with stories of men from Earth trying to come to Mars. All of the men in the first three expeditions were killed by Martians with the help of their powers of telepathy and hallucinations.

I learned a lot about the power of empathy and the negative influence of prejudice from both The Help and To Kill a Mockingbird. In school, we always learn that blacks were mistreated and white people for some reason found themselves superior to the black community. From what I have learned in school it has always been about how white people were always so against black people. However, by watching the movie The Help and reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird I have learned that although we hear more stories about how whites were prejudiced towards the black community there were some white people out there who did show some empathy towards blacks.

Whether this is because they have greater knowledge or if they possess a certain capacity that enables them to act in a moral manner more easily and readily is unclear.
