The Martian Chronicles - Online Term Paper

The Martian Chronicles

This story showed and described a rocket taking off in an Ohio town. It said that the town was heated in the winter from the heat. This seemed like a common occurrence because the people just acted as if it was no biggie.

a search party for Spender. The captain found him and talking to him. Spender said they would get into a firefight and then he would go into some underground tunnels for protection. The captain then left and came with the party later. They exchanged fire but the captain had no choice but to shoot Spender because he did not leave for the tunnels. They buried him in a Martian sarcophagus.
I liked this story. It had some action to it and had a good plot. I thought Spender was stupid for not running but I think he is noble for sticking to his beliefs.
