The text brings the idea that humans are to the inhabitans of Mars what monkeys are to us: inferior beings, with inferior intellects. The human being has always been so vain to believe that we were alone in this world, and the text brings to our perspective that the inhabitans of Mars probably see us in such inferior way as we could see them or any animal of our Earth.
B.“But losing her had, I suppose, made him realize for the first time how much he loved her, and this sudden strength — focus, certainty, whatever — was a comfort”
Explanation:
In this short story by George Saunders, the main character Uncle Matt is shown to be crude, materialistic and with no emotional connection maintained throughout his course of life.
With his actions and attributes, he seems to have a negligence over his children. In the story's start, Saunders describes his actions and thoughts clearly for readers to understand that he does not really have a genuine concern over children well-being.
It is a surprising truth for readers to digest when he suddenly turns into an emotional father during the mishap. When he starts to understand his responsibility and how caring his children were towards him, in spite of his attitude towards them and their lives, he realizes that he must act differently, in a more concerned and responsible way to get her back.
Hi! I liked your story. It was pretty hard to follow in some parts including the beginning. The beginning needs more information about the characters. I'm not sure who Dannie and Quinn are. Also, the dialog was a little hard to follow because you didn't mention who was talking. Especially in the last section about how many zeros there are in billions. I'm not sure who was talking and it seemed very out of place. I think you can do with out that piece of dialog.
Hope it helps! :)
