Summer Reading
Book 1: “The Little Prince”
Book 2: “The Martian Chronicles”
Notes: I’m noticing that the Martians are speaking English. Is this a translation or do they actually speak English. Pg.6
On Mars, the wife is doing all the housework, and is basically a servant to the man. The man clearly has more power, which in 1945, (when this book was written) was probably something like that. Pg.13
If an alien came to Earth, knocked on your door, wouldn’t you be scared? I know that I would, but the Martian don’t seem to be. Pg.22
Mars seems like a reflection of Earth, the Martians are similar to humans, the houses are similar to human houses to. The names of places are even the same. Pg. 42
I find it kind of evil that the Martians name places after people they killed. Thats pretty diabolical. Pg.136
Book 3: “The Hobbit”
