Martian Chronicles Post #1

The title of the chapter was June 2001:  -And The Moon Be Still As Bright. This story is about when the astronauts from Earth land on Mars and experience their first night there.  A passage that describes the setting is on page 49, paragraph 3, "It wouldn't be right., the first night on Mars, to make a loud noise, to introduce a strange, silly, bright thing like a stove." Another passage that describes it would be on page 48, paragraph 1, "It was so cold when they first came from the rocket into the night that Spender began to gather the dry Martian wood and build a small fire." This passage sounds like it starts it begins the middle of the story and shows it from the humans' perspective. Bradbury uses the setting to comment on the conflict by using the cold atmosphere of Mars, having the humans debate on whether to use the chemical fuel or make the fire handmade. In conclusion, this story was about the struggles of humans on Mars.
