1. Some traits that Harry Bittering displayed on Mars was that he didn't want to change. He didn't want to eat because he would change like everyone else, and he was trying to not eat for a while so he could go a very long time without changing.
2. I think that they are very popular genres because they display things that you wouldn't see in real life, such as things taking place in the future or on mars or something along those lines. I think that fantasy is a good one because there are dragons and castles and things like that there. So some of them can be very interesting.

1. Harry started to get worried about the food he was eating and what was going to happen. When the war broke out on earth he was worried about how they would get back to earth.
2. I think they are popular because a lot of kids like to read about objects that arent real and they like to imagine certain things.

1.He was very hesitant to do anything on mars at first and he noticed his family and friends changing. But after his change occured his feelings changed.

2. They are things that people wouldn't expect to happen. They also let your imagination soar, their is no end to imagination when you read science fiction or fantasy.

1. When Harry Bittering arrives on Mars his family begins to change by their eyes are becoming gold and they are getting taller and thinner.
2. Science Fiction and Fantasy are popular genres because people like to hear about what people think about what possibly could happen to the world and such. Fantasy people can just make up whatever they want so it is original.

1. He started to agree with his family on moving up into the villa. His skin started to change and eyes changed color. He started to forget about earth and not care about going home.

2. They are popular thems because it is rear that they will happen. With historical and realistic fiction the ideas or events are able to happen. But with them your imagination can run wild.

He thought he was going crazy and started to act weird. He refused to eat food from Mars.

1. He gave into moving the family up into the villa. His eyes changed as did his skin change colors. He didn't really care if he went home or not.

2. I think that they are popular genres because the things that happen in the stories wouldn't really happen in realy life. In non-fiction the events may happen in realy life.

1.--His eyes started changing colors to yellow.--His skin tone color was getting darker, and he got taller.
2.--Science Fiction and Fantasy are more popular genres because more people like to read make-believe stories,and because there is usually more action and they like to use their imagination when they read.

I think harry was just nervous for his family and he didn't want to lose then so he started worring for them so they would try to listen to him.
I think its a good story it sucks you in the story so it seems like you are actually in the story... lilke your actually on the planet Mars. Its a good adventuriuos story that would give you one crazy dream.

When Harry first got to Mars he was very nervous and cautious. He didn't any of the food except for the food in the deep freeze from Earth. After he started to change he didn't care as much and stopped working on the rocket.

Science Fiction and Fantasy are such popluar genres because they have a lot of cool charaters. Another reason is because they have lots of make-beleive settings.

1. I think that life on Venus was very hard especially for Margot. She was the person who remembered the sun. The others didnt remember it at all. The others thought she was lying when she said that she remembered seeing and feeling the sun on her face.
2. I dont think that she should've been locked in the closet so that was unfair. The others decided to do that to her on unfair grounds and now they felt awful after they got back inside. Now they know how Margot felt about being in a closet by herself.

When Harry Bittering first came to Mars he was very cautious because people where changing because of the food, and that made it so the Harry would only eat out of the deep freeze the food the he knew would not hurt him. Them he started to change.

Science Fiction and Fantasy are such popular genres because they can have to many things happen and they have cool settings and people.

When Harry Bittering first arrived he only ate food out of the deep freeze after realizing everyone was changing. He also acted very nervous and cautious but after a while he started to change too.

Fantasy and science fiction are popular genres because anything can happen in them.
