Rising action The rising action of the novel The Martian occurs when Mark gets stranded on Mars and is forced to survive with minimal supplies. The rising action continues when he is desperately running out of food and NASA use a lot of money that they were supposed to use on other projects just to send Mark the supplies and food he desperately needs.

Climax
The Climax in The Martian takes place when pathfinder, the communication device that Mark was using in order to talk to NASA has one of its wires fried and loses its capability to transmit messages over such extreme distances. This occurred when Mark was working on the rover to prepare it for his final trip on mars to the Ares 4 site when he set a drill he was using very close to Pathfinder without noticing and the wires from the drill touched Pathfinder. Since the drill was so much more powerful than Pathfinder the amount of electricity it transmitted when the wires touched was enough to cause the wires of Pathfinder to fry. Power traveled from the drill line's positive lead, through the work bench...and

The crew were then told that they could either come back home and leave Mark or turn completely around and go back and get him. In an anonymous vote the crew decided to go back and get him. This was a very dangerous move because it forced them to spend more than 500 days in space. They were forced to leave their families and friends and turn around to save their last crew member. Also, they had to receive a food shuttle automatically which once again went wrong causing 2 of the crew members to go out of the spaceship and get the shuttle

This book is a very interesting read, if you have some self discipline. I mean that you need some self discipline because this book didn’t really captivate me in the sense that I couldn’t put it down. But after reading it for a while, I started to appreciate the author’s way of describing the characters and actions in this book.
3. The book has many moods in it. For the most part, it is an informative book. The book is also a little bit humerous. Most of the time the author will give information about his story, but he will throw some humor in with it. The author was talking about how fishes would land onboard the raft and one time they found a Gempylus (eel looking fish) in Torsteins's sleeping bag.
My overall opinion of this book is good I really liked it and recommend it to anyone. It is a good book to read and it keep you interested throughout the whole book.
This is my personal reflection about this book. First and foremost, I would like to say that this book is very thick and long to read. There are about nineteen chapters and 278 pages altogether. As a slow reader, it is a quite hard for me to finish reading it within time. It took me weeks to finish reading it as a whole. Furthermore, it is written in English version. My English is just in average so sometimes I need to refer to dictionary for certain words. Sometimes I use google translate and ask my friends to explain the meaning of certain terms.
Green drags the reader right into the text from the very beginning, and very skilfully keeps the reader engaged to the end of the introduction. With varied techniques to convey his message, Green is able to summarize the novel and grab attention in the few opening pages.
The Martian is a story that involves a visit to the mars, and after that, the astronauts come out of the Mars leaving behind Mark Watney who his real name is Matt Damon. The team assumed Mark was dead after a strong storm. He tried to survive with the remains of the supplier till he was able to launch his way back to the Earth (MacIsaac, 2015). The story is represented in the Novel, and a movie and these two platforms have some similarities and differences. The movie is the representation of what is happening in the book. Therefore, not everything that it is in the book is covered in the one and half film, therefore several scenarios are left out.
Stylistically, the book is arranged in rotating chapters. Every fourth chapter is devoted to each individual character and their continuation alo...
This book will appeal to anyone who loves a lot of adventure and a lot of suspense. The author continuously adds suspense throughout the book. One example of this would be when Thomas says, “Thomas had to trust Newt. He had to do this for his friend, but curiosity burned inside him like a brushfire. He knew, though, that he had no time to waste. They had to get everyone out of the WICKED complex. He could talk to Newt more in the Berg—if they could get to the hangar and convince Jorge to help them.” This shows suspense because the reader is trying to figure out what Newt is not telling Thomas. This also builds suspense in the reader because they are trying to figure out why they have leave in such a hurry. The author also tries to convey a lot of adventure throughout book. One time when Thomas and the others experienced danger would be when, “He shifted again, looked back over his shoulder. Minho and Newt were each straddling a guard, beating the living klunk out of them. Jorge stood in between the Gladers, shooting his fiery Launcher in all directions.”. This shows a lot of adventure because its so exciting and so much is going on. It also shows a lot of adventure because Thomas and the others are all going through such a hazardous situation which is sure to bring the reader to the edge of their seat. Without a doubt, this story is one that will be loved by

8.Recommendation: I wouldn’t recommend this book for anyone to read because it’s quite boring and very confusing in some parts of the story. Well it’s confusing to me and it’s like the most weirdest book I have ever read. Someone who likes to read novels or read in general would like this book because or if they like this genre they would like this
There are many themes that occur and can be interpreted differently throughout the novel. The three main themes that stand out most are healing, communication, and relationships.
To subdivide the whole plot, there has been three sections which can be used to describe the whole book in one go. The style which the author has utilized to write the whole book up is almost the similar one and the uniqueness in his writing has made this whole thing so beautiful. The division of the whole plot into three main categories constituting upon the plot, narrator and the characters can help develop a good understanding about the book. The author has beautifully utilized his strengths over these three main elements and has made sure that as the basics go right, the whole fiction falls right in the balance with the story.
