Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles"

From the Paper:

"This study will examine Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles", including consideration of character and plot development, satire, paradox, poetry, and symbolism. The thesis of the study will be that Bradbury, despite his wide-ranging use of these literary devices, is not a top-notch writer in his expression of science-fiction-based views nor in terms of his literary efforts. His plot and character development are minimal, and The Martian Chronicles, for all its entertainment value for the masses, is hardly a work of great literature.

... that "An important part of Bradbury's message . . . is both social and personal: That individual is good who can become attuned to the world and the people in it, while the person is bad who holds doggedly to some out-of-place notion of his world or self" (121)."
