Mark Watney Characters

The chapters that describe the characters’ pasts make the reader feel as if they are watching that character’s personality develop over their lifetime even though it is only a couple pages. The most enjoyable part was the chapter over Herman Husband that tells about his entire past and how his beliefs and opinions were influenced. I was able to have a closer connection with this character because there was a lot of information given about him. Also because from the author’s perspective he was portrayed as someone brave and understanding. Which is why when the book ended there was a sadness to it, the readers could feel a sense of emotion for the man in the cell and a stronger effect left behind by his parting words. Another enjoyable moment was when the author described the rebels and how people felt when they finally saw them after they were defeated. It created a very vivid image that explained why the people watching felt a sense of disappointment at seeing them. There was a lot of depth over the characters and how each had their part in influencing the Whiskey Rebellion however Hogeland only briefly talks about the last battle of the Rebellion that led to the rebels being captured and forced to walk for miles. More information could have been added to give the reader a better understanding as to why exactly they may have lost or what led the most to their downfall.

The separate sub-plots are interwoven in such a way it keeps you turning pages, not just out of interest, but because you are still trying to make out how one thing links to the next. Most of the characters were perfect. Perfect because they were flawed - which made them seem so real that you could almost relate to them as one of your friends. Though it may seem a little cliché, I particularly enjoyed Alex.

The Martian is arguably one of my favorite books because of the fantastic tone and character development. The Martian follows Mark Watney, a scientist who majored in botany and mechanical science. He get stranded on mars after a dust storm knocks out communications with NASA and the rest of his crew leaves when they believe he is dead from shrapnel in the storm.

Firstly, this book got straight into the action, which I loved. Sometimes it works when authors build up the story before the action starts trickling in, but other times, it 's nice to be plunged straight in the

The History of the Railroad Ever since 1619 when the first colony of Jamestown was established in America, slavery was a way of life. The ethnicity of these slaves varied, from being either Native American of African, but majority were African. “Slavery lasted so long and controlled so many people's lives, that it may seem impossible to comprehend the phenomenon and to know the people involved. Yet it is extremely difficult to grasp many aspects of roles in the lives and development of the American people.” (Burgan,4)

The novel is extremely interesting due to the plot and keeps you wanting to read more. There are many elements and devices such as the characters,

The Martian by Andy Weir is one of the most realistic science fiction books you will ever read. Filled with a page turning plotline, Andy Weir sends the reader on an intergalactic journey. The book opens up right away to a young astronaut, Mark Watney, who is stranded on Mars after his team and him get separated during a sand storm. Immediately the reader is amused by Watneys’ humor and positive attitude towards anything that comes his way. The only way Watney can express his thoughts and ideas is through his logs, which he records, everyday. The dialogue at times can be dry and boring, due to the amount of science and math needed to explain interplanetary space travel. However, Weir makes up for this later in the story when he includes humorous

He ends up getting trapped on Mars because he was on a mission, and the rest of the people on the mission left him to go to Earth.

Throughout the storyline, Mark has to make some decisions that result in life or death situation. This book is highly interesting because it is filled with lots of suspense, humor, as well as hints about author Andy Weir’s life all tied in throughout the story.

Watney got stranded on Mars due to a sand storm on Mars. His crew members, thinking he was dead, left him behind. In the end the found a way to rescue Watney and get him back to Earth. At the beginning of the novel I thought Watney would find a way to get back to Earth. In the end my inference was correct. The plot of the story was mostly influenced the mood of the story.

I liked that this book wasn’t just focused on a romance, the story had other focus’ as well. The romance never took away from the

All of them were very well developed by the author, Blake Crouch. With some of the featured people in the book, you knew everything about them- their daily habits, pet peeves, regrets, basically everything that they knew about themselves you were made aware of. Whereas with other characters, you didn’t know much- their name, career, and if you’re lucky, a little back story. This made the book much more pleasurable, because when the mysterious sides of characters came out, it was more shocking and kept you more engaged. All in all, the characters in this story made the plot one to remember and much more gratifying than if they were portrayed in a different

The beginning of the book was compelling and drew my interest in continuing to finish the

There is one detail that seemed to be a constant problem, however. There did not seem to be a lot of context, or story, in this book. The book was only that of 100 pages, so it was expected that the book will not go to the usual depth these books provided. I read all seven scenes, and the amount of context provided was rather miniscule. This did not leave a great impression that there would be a lot of interesting storytelling to be told. That being said, though, the way that the story was conveyed and its structure were outstanding. With very little to grab onto from the storyline, the context and the structure were still able to hold my attention until the end. The book was well worth the time taken to read
