In our English class our teacher assigned us to read the novel," The Martian" to help better understand what our next project would be. The novel is about an astronaut who after getting knocked away by a piece of their Mars home, finds himself stuck on Mars. The reason we were to read this book was so that we had an idea on how to create our own survivor journal, and show how in different areas and times in the world, people can go through anything, and survive.
