7.Shortly into the story (page 43 if you're reading the version checked out from TMS library - other versions of the book may have it as a different page depending on the font size your book has), Captain Hart and Martin discuss the fact that there is no peace on Earth. They claim that there hasn't been peace on Earth since Darwin. Who is Darwin? When did he live? When did the author of the book, Ray Bradbury, live? Regardless of your personal beliefs, what do you think Ray Bradbury is trying to say about society through Captain Hart's statement?
8. Aside from any type of religious undertones in this story, what is Ray Bradbury saying about our society, in general, at the end of the book when Captain Hart decides to leave, and Martin is introduced to "The Man?" There is not one right answer! Give your opinion.
9. When Captain Hart prods the citizens for a description of the man, the answers are very vague. Why doesn't the author give a solid description? BY THE WAY: There isn't one right answer to this question. Think hard about it. Don't answer it now. Give it some thought, sleep on it, and answer this one tomorrow after you've really thought about it. I don't want you to write down the first thing that comes to mind.
10. The author leaves the reader feeling that the story isn't finished. Write one last paragraph to the story.

Question 1.
Something big happened yesterday in that city.
Question 2.
instantaneous:imeditae, designed for easy or quick preperation.
balse': indifferent, unconcerned, bored
Question 3.
Martin walked slowly across the meadow.
His fingers groped blindly at the rising pack, for he was lookinh at the golden city blinking.
The captain chewed his cigar angerly.
Question 4.
They were selvish, they believed that by flying across the galaxy and landing on their faraway planet that they would be considered heros and like gods.
Question 5.
Captain Hart is a static character because after he sent Martin to get the mayor in the city, and when he told the captain of the amazing person who had come upon the city and cured and elped them in so many ways that he atomatically thought it was Burton trying to steel their glory. Even when they went to the city to ask people of physical characteristics of the man, he still was absoulty positive that it was Burton. As reality came down on him, Burton's death, he wanted to belive but couldn't his unbealivableness carried on through the story.
Question 6.
Martin is the dynamic character because after the captain sent him to get the mayor and he heard of the man and of the amzing occurences that had happened he belived through and through no matter what his captain said and he argues to Hart about what he thoguh and when the captain left the city Martin stayed in the city to see the man.
Qoestion 7.
Darwin is the man that came to the city and who kept peace on Earth but left to bring peace to other planets. He lives now and then, no one is certain. Ray Bradbury lived in 1951. Ray Bradbury is trying to say through Captain Hart's statement that there is peace and there is war on every planet and even though someone can help it wont last.
Question 8.
There are people who belive and there are people who only rely on logic. Those who believe and have open minds experience amazing things and are never limited. (like Martin)While people who only relyon logic are limited and are not open to amazing things because they are afriad that it will not have a logical answer. (like Captain Hart)
Question 9.
The author doesn't give a solid description because the man is so great and unbelievable that it is impossible to give such a vivid descriptions that could describe him.
Question 10.
The solar system opened in front of the four men. Captain Hart still clutching his gun in his shaking hand while the other three crew men steered the ship through the endless sea of dark and light. Rock formations tumbeled past the ship like rocks down a hill. Captain Hartlifted his tired eyes, the anger, the passion,was lost, his life empty but never really that. Flaoting in endless space, with endless meteors showing them no mercy, searching for a lost planet never to be found. One blink is all Captain Hart and the crew could manage before the lights went out never to be lighten again.

1. "Flaming in here in a blaze and a halo and a soft word and a loving touch, with a medicated salve here and a healing ray there."
2.salve:anything that relieves or soothes
bilk:cheat
3.Martin looked steadily at the mayor.
He, last of all, climbed into the airlock, gave a brisk salute, laughed sharply.
He was shouting now, leaning wearily over the man on the floor.
4.That indirectly says they are seeking glory and praise, they're vain.
5. A static charater is Captain Hart. In the beginning he is self-centered and only thinking of himself, by the end of the story he is the same way, seeking the man for his own needs, not even thinking of the mayor he shot and injured or the people in the town that are in the man's care at present, first then calling them fools, then insisting he needs the man more than some.
6. A dynamic character in this story is Martin. He is a Dynamic character because he changes from wanting attention to wanting to be part of the community where the man was, the one who "stole" their glory. Martin changes as he talks to the people of the community and realizes he believes them and wants to live among these kind people.
7.I'm confused on exactly what you mean by who is Darwin? Do you mean a real person. I'm sorry I'm just confused.
OH NO!!! I TYPED ALL 10 ANSWERS AND IT SAID I NEEDED TO VERIFY MY E-MAIL...AND I DID....BUT THEN MY COMMENT DIDN'T GET SENT.....WHAT SHOULD I DO??? I GUESS ILL JUST RETYPE IT ALL
by the way brandonio is me
YES IT WORKED THIS TIME....OKAY HERES MY ANSWERS
1.pg- 48-"Flaming in here in a blaze and a halo and a soft word and a loving touch, with a medicated salve here and a healing ray there."
2.salve-medical ointment used to heal cuts
halo-glory
3.pg. 48-"Martin walked off slowly toward the rocket"
pg. 43-"Certainly there's none on earth"
pg. 44-"good, intelligent, compassionate, and infinitely wise!"
4.they think that they are all that and they deserve to be honored with every little thing they do.
5.I think Captain Hart is a static character because throughout the whole story his only mission is to Find the man, and through all his actions that is all he is doing.
6.A dynamic character would be Martin because he is loyal to Captain Hart in the beginning but near the end he betreys the captain and goes toward the mayor's side.
7.Darwin lived from 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882 he was A man that made a theory that every living thing had to evolve from something at one point in its life. Ray was born in 1920. He might be saying that ever since Darwin believed in that theory there has been many disputes and arguments in the world between if it is true or not.
8.Ray bradbury is saying if you don't be patient and cooperative you might now get what you want.
9.he gave a vague description because he wanted the readers to make up their own man, letting the reader be more interacted in the story.
10.Martin walks to a shed and opens the door, inside is a 10-foot giant. The man seemed to have a godlike appearence and seemed to be glowing with magic. The man asked Martin what he needed. Martin said he wanted a new friend, so with the wave of The Mans hand and man appeared next to martin. the man looked familiar to Martin. He studied him and then he realized something. The man was Captain Hart.
1. "Looking for our lost souls, is that it?"
2. incredulous- indicating or showing unbelief.
apparatus- a group or combanation of instruments.
3. "And then what?" asked Martin, ever so POLITELY, watching the captin's jowls shake.
Martin walked SLOWLYacross the meadow.
He lost his balance and sat HEAVILY, gasping for air.
4. It means that they propily have something better to do or see.The people that landed on the planet thought they were "special" so they thought they would get all the attention.
5. I think that the lieutenant is because he always wants to stay at the planet and not go back to his planet because the planet that he landed on had people that cared about each other.
6. I think the captin was because when he belived that "HE" came he wanted to stay on the planet but when he found out that he realy did leave he wanted to leave too.
7. I think he is trying to say that there needs to be more peace on earth and less bad stuff.
8. He is saying that to many people are selfish and want alot of things but you cant get everything.
9. I think that he doesnt discribe him very much because he doesnt want to give away the "MANS" identity.
10. I dont get it is the "MAN" realy at the town when the captin leaves?
1. looking for lost souls
2. blase- unexcited
brisk- quick in manner
3. Martin walked slowly across the meadow.
Captin gave him back the binoculars wearily.
Martin had to lean dizzily on the ship.
4. That indirectly says they are vein or self-centered.
5. Captin Hart never changes. He will alsays look for Him, but never settle in one spot for peace.
6. Martin does change. In the beggining he is looking for peace, but at the end he finds peace in that little town on Earth.
7. Darwin was an English Naturalist. He lived from 1809-1882. Ray Bradbury Was born on August 22, 1920. He is trying to say the whole Earth as one will never be peaceful. You can find peace, but not everywhere.
8. He is trying to say some will always be looking for something, while others will find their own peace and stay in one spot.
9. Everyone sees the MAN differently. He is not just one solid person.
10. Martin followed the Mayor to the MAN. Akwardly, Martin does not see the description others have said about the MAN. He is almighty and powers over any being. The only people who find are people who have a reason to find him.
1
Flaming in here in a blaze and a halo and a soft word and a loving touch, with a medicated salve here and a healing ray there.
2
haggard: appearing worn and exhausted
pragmatist:a person who has a practical take on life and situations
3
Martin glanced up sullenly.
...shouted Hart, shaking violently, gripping the man in his hands.
...the muscles jerked involuntarily.
4
They are very prideful and expect everyone else to just automatically love them just because they were smart and could fly to another planet. They like themselves a little too much.
5
Hart is a static character becuase he is constantly trying to get people to notice him. He always wants to be the center of attention and expects to always get what he wants. Hart showed this by shooting the mayor because the mayor wouldn't tell him what he wanted him to tell him.
6
Martin is the dynamic character because at the beginning, he was sort of like Hart; all tied up into himself. At the end, he goes against Hart and isn't a follower of him anymore. He is follower of the group that appreciates him. He learns to stand up for himself.
7
Darwin is someone who changed the way things went on in the world. He maybe took over the world sometime close to our time. Ray Bradbury lived in the 40's - 60's. Bradbury is trying to say our world is collapsing and we need to do something about it. We need to step up and start doing things to help our world help us.
8
We are becoming really selfish and we need to repent and have Jesus in our lives. I know this is a religious answer, but I think that that was what he was trying to get acrossed. Also, only the people who believe in Him should deserve the chance to meet him.

The mayor walked into town hall with all of his citizens following him. He entered slowly, due to the presence of holiness. The Man greeted all of them, but especially Martin.
"Thank you My son," He began, "for leaving your duties to worship. You are blessed and shall be wrapped in white and dunked for you have recieved me. Let the angels sing and the heavens rejoice!"
The crowd applauded, for the Man had cleansed Martin and healed him spiritually.
1. Flaming in here in a blaze...
2. blase:Very sophisticated
blaspheme:To speak of God badly
1. "Flaming in here in a blaze and a halo and a soft word and a loving touch, with a medicated salve here and a healing ray there."
2. lieutenant- commissioned officer
pragmatist- person who is a failure.
3. the captain scoffed heavily.
martin glanced up sullenly.
" are you sur?" shouted Hart, shaking violently...
4.that captain hart and martin are selvish and beleive thay should always be honored.
5.the static charater is Captain Hart. he is self-centered and only thinking of himself, and through out the story he is the same way. not even thinking of the mayor he shot and injured him and not caring what could happen to him.
6. A dynamic character would be Martin because he is loyal to Captain Hart. then he goes to the myor's sid after he gets shot.
7.Darwin came to earth to make peace and heal people, but then left to help other plants. i think ray is trying to tell us that there should be more peace on earth and less crime.
8. he is say that people are always trying to look for some thing good are bad, but there are people that want peace on earth.
9.The author doesn't give a solid description because the man is a great nice man taht cares about others and its hard to describe that.
10. The mayor walked martin to down town. Martin could beleive his eyes because he saw the MAN. The MAN asked martin if he needed anything and martin sayed yes.i want captain hart to come back, and his wish came true.
question 1: looking our our lost souls, is that it?
question 2:blase which means bored with life. apparatis which means a complex peace of machinery
question 3: certanly, wearily dizzily
3: "Martin walked (SLOWLY) across the meadow."
"At high noon Captin Hart walked (BRISKLY) into the city..."
"Every once in a while the capitan laughed (LOUDLY)..."
4.That says that they were very confident within themselves on the fact that they would be famous after they landed.
5. Capitan Hart is a static character because he had the same determination to get what he wanted throughout the story.He was willing to go through anything to get it too.
6. Martin is a dynamic character because he changed his attitude towards the peope on the planet from hating to loving. He saw that this man was very important to the people and decided he liked those people so much he chose to stay.

7. Which Darwin? The telescope or Charles Darwin? I will do Charles Darwin scince we are learning about him in science. Charles Darwin discovered evolution/diversity and then made a theory on natural selection. Not every scientist agrees with his theory though. He lived from February 12, 1809 to April 19, 1882. Ray Bradbury lived from August 22, 1920 and is still living today. I think he is trying to say that their will never be peace on any planet many people have tried none have succeeded.
Oops last time i forgot the mya in my name
8. Bradbury is saying that if something you have faith in something it doesn't matter if it is not real you still believe it.
!0. As Martin entered the city's boundaries, he became aware that earlier that day he walked this same path. Back then he didn't understand, he was ignorant of people's feelings. Soon the mayor and Martin reached a house overflowing with people wanting to see same man, "the man." Wanting to get healed and cleansed of all their wrong. Calmly, the mayor and Martin shifted through the crowd until they reached a highbacked golden chair that certainly meant someone noble sat there. A man that seemed to be glowing sat there beaming at his people.
"Martin," the man suddenly exclaimed, "we've been waiting!"
7. O.K. I don't think it is the Darwin from science but I'm not sure so I'm assuming it's a fictional character. I think Darwin was a dictator who possibly made everyone follow all his rules and his beliefs. He probably lived only shortly before Captain Hart. Ray Bradbury lived from the 1920's and is still alive. (Wow, he's in his 80's almost and he came out here!) Ray Bradbury is probably trying to say that future society will go downhill and people will be at war with each other.
8. I think he is trying to say that future people will need someone to come through and stop war and fighting.
9.I can't sleep on it! the questions are due tomorrow! At first I thought Ray Bradbury wants you to visualize him, but then another thought came to my mind. Ray Bradbury wants you not only to visualize but to create your "man". Imagine what he's like, his personality, his humor or seriousness. Ray Bradbury is leaving it up to you to make "The Man" your own.
10. Martin followed the mayor, weaving their way to the area where the man waited patiently. Their footsteps making a rythym on the cobblestone streets. Thump-click-tap, Thump-click-tap went the mayor's small hard shoes and Martin's heavy boots, making a harmonious tune. Martin stepped in to a building behind city hall. There the man sat grinning,waiting for Martin to approach him. Martin stepped up to the man and poured his heart out, about evil Captain Hart, about wanting to live in the marvelous town they currently were visiting, about everything. The man gently tapped Martin's shoulder and every bit of pain that had ever hurt him hurt less and every bad memory seemed less bad. Martin walked out the same old Martin,but with a new sense of happiness.
