The Martian Chronicles

In The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury employs multiple methods to record the events of the colonization of Mars in a beautiful and descriptive manner. Perhaps the most noticeable technique used to Bradbury is his method of introducing new things. His descriptions are to the point and do not linger, while still flowing between sections. Bradbury does not always fully describe events, adding to the already mysterious air you would expect in a novel about Mars. Throughout the novel, Bradbury plays on the fears of technology held by humanity. The world develops too quickly and gets ahead of itself, leading to full scale atomic war. Bradbury mixes the brutal actions of humanity with the peaceful intentions of an enlightened race (the Martians) while at times reversing the two (as in the early Expeditions' fates).
