Analysis on red mars

all the evils suffered in life, such as her children taken from her, being unmarried (not beloved), in a worn and disheveled appearance. In her mental crises – diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia – , she is held against her will in a mental hospital, where she is treated with neuro-electrical therapies. Worst of all, she feels faceless, invisible to the attendants, social workers, doctors, most probably for her “bad patient behavior” for being aggressive. The plot, thereby, is delineated as a contrast between the real world and an uncertain one, since in the psychiatric ward she starts envisioning Luciente’s visits, a woman from the future who begins to take her to a rural community of Mattapoisett, in a hundred years in the future.

With reference to Red Mars again, both Fancy and then Imagination will be discussed from…

verdade no caso do atual processo de transformação tecnológica, mas foi assim também com a revoluções tecnológicas anteriores (1° e 2° RI).

Segundo Mayer &…
