Discussion Highlights:
- The chronicle layout allows the book progress nicely, and shows the different effects of the human colonization of Mars effectively.
- This also shows the differences of life on mars vs. life on earth during different time periods
- The culture of mars effects how the earth men can colonize mars, as seen in the earliest chapters the Martian’s don’t believe the earth men. Also, we can see similar cultures in acts such as hunting, marriage, and different town layouts.
- The different expeditions show how the humans adapt and change based off the earlier expeditions. However, since the humans have ended up dead they don’t actually know what is on mars or how to approach the colonization of mars.
- We came to the conclusion that diseases will kill off the majority of the Martian population, this has happened throughout history and was seen with the native Americans during early colonization of America. We also came to the conclusion that once Mars is colonized, the ways of war on earth will transfer over to Mars.

Section/Pages: 200 - the End
Members Present: Ryan O’Toole, Connor Meehan, Connor Israel, Matt Imperiale

Discussion Highlights:
- As a group, we all agreed that the book was really interesting. This is because it depicts human colonization in an accurate way, even if it comes off as harsh and cruel. For example, the humans killed all the Martians, colonized their land, and then abandoned the planet. Also, the themes of war and racism were scene throughout the book.
-We all decided to draw a picture at the end of the book to represent how mars was abandoned and how earth was fighting. We talked about how we each thought how Mars and Earth looked at the end of the book.
-
-We all wondered why most of the humans after they built all of the cities decided to leave mars and go back to Earth after they killed almost all of the Martians.

Members Present: Connor Meehan, Matt Imperiale, Connor Israel.

Discussion Highlights:
- We wondered why chickenpox effected the martians different than humans and why did they die instead of having spots on their bodies like we do.
- We talked about how the plant has fallen and the fact the 4 of the 5 cities that the went to ha been abandoned for thousands of year because of the out break of chickenpox.
-The quote on agenda 2 states that all civilizations because even the strongest civilizations  can fall due to disease like the Aztec Empire with the Spanish.
-Final when it say that the earth will be like this one day they are trying show that eventually the earth I’ll become where everyone has been wiped out. What our group decided that this will happen because of war and not because of disease like on mars.

“Then, luminous with sweat, they gnashed at their last sandwiches. With a final kick, a final marimba concert, a final autumnal lunar through leaf stacks, they went home” (Bradbury 88)
The quote uses imagery to show the moment that has extreme emotion in the book. Ray uses words such as luminous with sweat, and gnashed at their last sand witches to show the struggles and harsh conditions that the people n mars are going through and the fact that they have little food left.

How do you think the book is going to play out with the person from Earth landing on Mars?

“But one day Earth will be like Mars is today. This will sober us. It’s an object lesson in civilizations.” (Bradbury pg 72)  This quote represents that most of the Martians died because of  chickenpox that the humans brought over. How will this be earth one day? What is the lesson for civilizations? - Matt Imperiale

How does the culture of mars reflect or differ from the culture on earth.

“ The land was down upon itself, a land of black loam, but nothing on it, not even grass.“ (Bradbury 99). This quote describes the landscape of mars as a dark and desolate place.  This quote describes the land as “down upon itself.” To me this reflects the theme of the book so far as being lonely and isolated. - Connor Meehan

Discussion Highlights:
- During the discussion of agenda topic 1, we discussed how economic and outside opportunities were the main reason for colonization. We also discussed how the Martian population dying was an accident, even if it was a direct result of human colonization.
- Agenda Topic 2 was a drawing of a human civilization growing and expanding above the fallen ruins of Martian Civilization. This drawing shows how the humans took over the Martian civilization and built on top of it.
- Agenda topic 3 shows what the main focus of our discussions are, how mars changed over time. Throughout the book we can see how mars changed; the Martian population got wiped out, human civilization began, and Mars basically became like earth. Also, a unique point was made on how the chronicle format throughout the book puts an emphasis on the negative effect of human civilization on mars.
- Agenda topic 4 discusses the chapter about Africans attempting to colonize mars. This chapter highlights the racism on earth and how it will be transported to mars in the future.
- Overall, this was a very productive discussion that highlighted many important topics, such as the causes and effects of human colonization on mars.

- the negative effects of human colonization
- people are ignorant and don’t care for any race other than themselves
- Wars effect on civilization

1.  Our book club worked pretty well together and our meetings were pretty successful. We were able to discuss our journals and highlights well together as a group.
2. One possible reflection essay theme could be:
-Humans being evasive and destroying the environment.
-The negative effects of human colonization.
-Wars effect on civilization
3. A creative project idea could be a timeline and picture representation showing how mars changed overtime with the colonization of humans.
