wait hundreds of years until the radioactivity subsides, preserving the human race in the moon colony, before their descendants can make their way back to earth. Marvin is also optimistic. He plans on keeping the dream of returning to Earth alive.
6.
The setting is a human colony on the Moon, some time in the future after a nuclear holocaust on earth.
This colony contains the only human survivors of the human race. The imagery is mainly of the desolate splendor of this setting, the mountains and sky. The moral is never to forget one's roots. This is exaggerated on a huge scale; the survivors of the human race must never forget where they came from, and aim to return. This is why the trip outside is a journey, when Marvin's dad takes him to view the earth which appears beautiful but still deadly in the aftermath of the nuclear holocaust. This is the first time that Mervin sees his original home and he is filled with sadness over the loss, but at the same time he instinctively realizes that one day, when at last it's safe to go back, his descendants will do
so.
7.
The setting of the moon offers an absolute contrast to the biodiversity of the Earth as we know it at this given time. The sadness and desolation of it are an appropriate background for the cautionary tale Clarke develops. These elements are fundamentally related to the theme of the story, which concerns the conservation of the planet. The setting takes place on the moon in the distant future. The setting is important because without a setting like the one it has, the message the author is trying to send would be pointless.
8. The mood is sad and elegiac. The mood also retains a glimmer of hope. When Marvin and his father travel up the service chamber in the beginning of the story the mood is sad. Finding out that the Earth was uninhabitable. The mood ended with a glimmer of hope when readers learned that Marvin was going to keep the dream of returning to Earth alive.
9. The mood created in writing can be defined as attitude or emotion toward the subject and the reader. A writer's mood is very important. It conveys a particular message from you as the writer. It also affects the reader in a particular way. It can also affect how the reader receives the message you are communicating.
10. The story would be meaningless and confusing without the elements of the setting and mood. Without these elements, the message the author is trying to send would be pointless.
