But this time it took place in mars. As like in Fahrenheit 451 this book had many similarities with the themes that Ray Bradbury tries to give about the outcome of the advancement of technology. In the chronicle “there will come soft rains” Bradbury creates a house that is so technologically advance that is capable to tend to any need that a person might have. As like in Fahrenheit 451 the house symbolizes that technology will take over our lives and will make humans very dependent on it. In the second expedition, not knowing that the Martians were not immune to chicken pox the explores accidently bring the disease and kill all the Martians.
The pig nation found out about this and President Pohn Pigennedy was ready to claim war. The wolves placed nuclear missiles in a nearby grassland, that was close to the third piggy’s steel house. Everything was in chaos for both sides, but the wolves pulled back, they couldn’t risk another war toward their economy. Their economical structure was at risk of collapsing. The pigs all celebrated this wonderful victory, with a feast and mud baths.
Soon there would be no more colonies, no human settlements-and nowhere left to run.” – Nylund, 23. Throughout the story, their enemy, the Covenant, literally destroys any remotely safe area for humans by using their ships to turn planets and colonies into glass, or what they call “cleansing.” The next use of foreshadowing is when Dr. Halsey, the creator of the secret United Nations Space Command Project SPARTAN II, informs the group of the specially-chosen seventy-five six-year-old children of their eventual hardship, and thinking about of what she had just done to them. “These were indeed the right children for the project. Dr. Halsey only hoped that she had half their courage when the time came.” This is evident of the inevitable, brutal and unforgiving trials that are to come, but such is necessary as they will become the legends that the military needed them to be. The final use of foreshadowing is when Captain Keyes and the crew of the Pillar of Autumn find a fabricated, halo-shaped world, with an atmosphere, terrain and gravity imitating that of Earth.
Earth symbolizes perverse nature because throughout this book, soldiers have deprived the Earth of it's beauty and life. Soldiers have done this while in the process of trying to kill other people. Specifically, by throwing bombs, craters and holes have been made in Earth's surface. These imperfections made on Earth had taken away it's beauty and life, which certainly makes me believe that the theme perverse nature is being shown in regard to Earth as a symbol in this book. By this, I mean that perverse nature has been displayed by the fact that Earth has been damaged as a result of human actions.
It is believed that “this is creating many of our environmental problems today” (D.Suzuki). Originally, many centuries ago, animals, aside from Human beings, invaded and roamed the Earth freely. Now in city apartments and residences, the presence of roaches, fleas, ants, mosquitoes or houseflies is guaranteed to bring forth the spraying of insecticides. Then when the creatures foray through our space we poison, crush, or trap them. In today’s society “We have a modern arsenal of chemical weapons to fight off these invaders and we use them lavishly” (D.Suzuki).
Survival. Achieving this can bring out the worst in people. When the world turns around like it did for Miranda, life would never be the same. An unpredicted disaster has taken a toll on the world. A meteor struck the moon and moved it closer into orbit changing centrifugal forces and causing worldwide tidal waves, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and that’s just the start.
But on the small moon Eros where the IF headquarters is located Ender feels like a monster. Killing billions of creatures without knowing he was doing it. Enders sister is able to convince him that what he did was necessary to save everybody. She also convinced him to move to a colony planet with her and become governor. Peter remained on Earth and became Hegemon, a worldwide

Mikhailo Tarasov is an ex-Military Operative in the Zone, but has defected to the “Tribe”, which is a faction in the zones that consists of warriors and defected U.S. Marines. In this book, Mikhailo Tarasov and his closest companions travel to America to retrieve
But it’s also the story of how humans created a weapon capable of wiping our species off the planet. It’s a story with no end in sight… And like it or not you’re in it” (p236) Skeinkin was writing this book to inform us of about the atomic bomb. This is more to make you aware that it still exist and can be deadly if put in the wrong hands. I guess a consent threat to mankind. Dear Steven
All life on Earth will be wiped out when our dying sun expands into a red giant, finally engulfing the Earth. Ultimately the universe will be incapable of supporting any life as it expands forever, leaving only residual heat and evaporating black holes, or contracts back on itself, fusing all matter and energy into a final Big Crunch. Either way, all life in the universe will disappear forever. Such considerations once led Bertrand Russell to conclude that any philosophy worth taking seriously would have to be built upon a "firm foundation of unyielding despair" [2]. Does the finality of death make life meaningless?
