In Edgar Rice Burroughs’s story, “Under the Moons of Mars,” there are many instances of both fantasy and science fiction. When the narrator is describing things, he talks in a very scientific way. When describing a creature from Mars, he tells the reader, “the feet themselves were heavily padded… (which) is a characteristic feature of the fauna of Mars” (151). This is the way a scientist would talk about an animal, not the way a layperson tells someone about what they saw. The narrator also talks about the environment around him in a scientific way, saying, “my muscles… played the mischief with me in attempting for the first time to cope with the lesser gravitation and lower air pressure on Mars” (150).…

According to Sanzo, D., & Hecnar, S. J. (2005, September 12),they found that road salt can cause sluggishness, loss of balance, physical abnormalities, such as bent tails, reduced weight, reduced fitness, and interfered tadpole’s feeding habits. Many tadpoles struggled while swimming as a result of bent tails, making it harder for those individuals to acquire food. Also, road salt exposure can increases risk of skin dryness, causing respiratory impairment, and prevent growth, which extends the time period for larvaes to develop. (Collins, S. J., Russell, R. W., 2008, August 8). Furthermore, Sanzo, D., & Hecnar, S. J. (2005, September 12), found out that road salt can cause a lack of balance and activity, such as swimming, and decrease the regulation of osmosis, the movement of water through a membrane,.…
