Back At It With Reviews | The Martian Chronicles Review


So we are now done with Dandelion Wine and we are onto another book by Ray Bradbury called The Martian Chronicles. So this blog post is going to be reviewing a chapter lol not again pls help okay anyway lets get started.
So I have chosen the first chapter, mainly because I like how this book begins. So this chapter is titled February 1999: YLLA which sounds odd but whatever I mean I didn't write this book idk the meaning. But this chapter is about how YLLA has a strange dream about humans.
Soooo the setting in this chapter is Mars, at YLLA and her husband YLL's home. They describe magnetic dust and a hot wind. The time is of course, 1999 in February. The season isn't really named but it's Mars so I'm guessing it doesn't snow. The weather probably is usually desert-like tbh.
So this chapter is the first so naturally it occurs in the beginning where YLLA has a strange dream where a human comes to meet her and YLL gets mad and thinks its absurd, but like YLL its a dream chill sir.
Alrighty last thing I have to see if Bradbury uses setting to describe moods or people. Soo when YLLA was upset because YLL wouldn't let her go to her friend Pao's, they tried to eat dinner but YLLA was too sad to eat. Bradbury described the setting (the room) as 'suddenly cold and dark'.
ALRIGHTY Thats all folksssssssssss see ya
