The Martian Chronicles

Guiding Questions for Chapters 7-9

June 2001: and the Moon Be Still as Bright

Now that we know what has happened to the Martians, why is Spender still so worried about protecting Martian culture?

Spender knows he is not a Martian.  Why then does he proclaim that he is "the last Martian?"

Why doesn't Spender kill all of the men?

Why does Spender "allow" himself to be killed?


August 2001: The Settlers

Why do people come to Mars?


December 2001: The Green Morning

Wow, what an uplifting and inspirational chapter, right? (I'm serious about answering this question)

Is this a good or bad thing, or does it depend on your point of view?  Address both sides.

What does this chapter have in common with Rocket Summer, the first chapter in the book?
