female companionship or feminine substitutes nearby. When men stand on their own, masculinity may be compromised in front of danger and alienation. Patrick Parrinder points out that ‘the humanist conception of the universe has been shattered by the Martian invasion’. Amongst the confusion and fear during the attack, the narrator shows a gradual build of masculinity when he is alone. He has hysterical moments, unable to control his feelings, unable to fight, as the femininity illustrated in ‘I…

On August 28, 1963, one of the most influential speeches was given by an African American man named Martian Luther King Jr. at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. This speech was called, I Have a Dream. Martian Luther King Jr. discussed why it was important that blacks and whites were treated as equals, not separates. Why was this speech so powerful one may ask? Some believe that it was due to the emotion, many believe it was because of the timing of the speech, there are multiple reasons…

the society. They believe that this nameless child has evil inside it, although it has done no wrong. In Ray Bradbury’s “Mars is Heaven” there is an underlying similar theme. The humans have no ill wishes for the Martians, but the Martians are fearful of what the humans might do. The Martians kill the innocent humans in self-preservation much like the Omelas. When ‘society’ becomes an entity capable of ruling over the lives of individuals it will receive all the power but none of the…

narrator who is a main character in the story and then also the curate who is also a main character. The narrator and the curate managed to find themselves in a sticky situation. They are currently stuck inside a house and outside this house are martians who are patrolling outside of the house and the narrator and the curate are inside.

extraordinary. When he is 25 years old he is returned to his people on Earth and begins to live a life unlike any other. He learns how normal humans act and discovers how horrible humans truly are and believes that he can cure humanity using his martian knowledge. Mike has trouble explaining his philosophies to regular humans so he has to change some ideas and create his own religion; “I was forced to smuggle it in as a religion—which it is not—and con the marks into tasting it by appealing to…

Humans have pondered on the question, “Are we alone?” for centuries, however, humankind still lacks an answer. Human beings are cognizant and curious of the world surrounding them. So much so that governments, including the United States government, spend billions of dollars on space programs to explore the solar system, the planet Mars in particular. As our earth develops into a planetary, polluted waste, Mars could eventually become our new home. Scientists believe Mars sustained or could…

provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars( Liquid Water para 1)”. According to this new theory, empirical data from NASA shows that water on Mars flows intermittently throughout slopes on the Martian surface. Evidence from NASA’S Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), shows detected hydrated mineral salts on slopes. It is believed that these hydrated minerals on slopes flow back…

Solar Winds and the Martian Atmosphere The suns steadily releases charged particles from its upper atmosphere through the Solar System by solar winds. These winds have different effects depending on the properties of the planet. Earth, for example, has a very strong magnetic field as a result of a multitude of factors. Mars on the other hand does not have a strong magnetic field protecting it from the solar winds. It is believed that Ancient Mars had rivers and lakes, however it died billions of…

butt end of the cleaver which knocks him out. “With one last touch of humanity I turned the blade back and struck him with the butt.” (Wells 153). Ogilvy was the first named person we met in the story, and he was the first one who discovered the Martian cylinder. However, in War of the World's directed by Steven Spielberg, Ogilvy was a combination of all three, the Artilleryman, the Curate, and Ogilvy himself. Ogilvy seems to first appear to be a protagonist and a helper to Ray and Rachel when…

scientists can possibly use to understand Earth’s changing climate better. The Mars ice age ended roughly 400,000 years ago, yet the planet is still pretty frosty. Scientists believe that the massive amount of ice that once accumulated around the Martian poles could be the reason. The study’s findings noted that if all that ice was spread over Mars, the planet would be covered in an ice layer two feet thick. Mars Similar to Earth The recent study published in the journal Science has discovered…
