Report on Threatened City
Report on the Threatened City

Report on the Threatened City is mainly a story about a mission on Earth that has to do with aliens and all of the humans living in the planet. The story is narrated by an alien and it is displayed as a real report. In the story the alien talks about his mission that was about warning all of the humans about something that was going to destroy all living things on Earth.
The story focuses on the narration of the behavior of the humans. The alien, as giving the report, is in charge of describing all that is happening around, adding up, all of his attempts to warn the people in the place he was, as all the results those attempts had.
According to the story and the report of the alien, humans were paired into two major groups, the young humans and the adult humans. These humans were described very differently depending on which group they were put. When the alien talked about the young humans, the descriptions were always approaching their careless and really weird behavior, happy and having a food life, also they seemed to do not understand the situation. As opposed to what the descriptions made for the older people, who were more serious and minding their own business. The only similar description between these two major groups was that none of these humans really cared about what was going to happen or weren’t even aware of the magnitude of the problem. This means that the aliens saw humans as very intelligent creatures, but having a flaw, which was a very big and notorious flaw. In other words, this was one of the themes expressed by the writer in the story.
Talking about attempts and warnings, humans didn’t even care about listening to these since they didn’t believe those were true at all. So aliens were starting to think how hopeless the mission was. However, they didn’t quit this very important mission. Also, the story has a mix of the science fiction with the real situations, because both are put together in here.

    Mystery City Report

    Princess Elisabeth Research station (Belgium), Antarctica 71*57’ S-23*20’E. That is exactly where mystery city #7 is located. One of the clues the website journeynorth.com gave us was “We are located on a continent that is one of the coldest places on Earth. It is also one of the driest, considered to be mostly desert; but don’t expect to see sand.” This clue really helped because it pretty much told us our city was in Antarctica, but now we had to find out where in Antarctica. And clue number 2 kind of helped us with that. "We are located on part of a nunatak, almost 200 km from the coastline. We see petrels and skuas from time to time. Sorry we can't be more specific about the country we're located in -- there are no countries here (or states, or cities)!" This clue really just told us that it was pretty close to the shore. But clue number 3 told us where in Antarctica our city was. "Down here our location isn't in a state or province, but Norway might say our location is within the boundaries of land which it claimed on this continent many decades ago." We looked online at Norway claimed Antarctica and then knew where our city was around. The last Clue number 4 was the one that really helped. The clue was "Our place looks like a spaceship floating in a sea of white. We operate on renewable energy like wind and solar, so we are also green." And a picture was involved. The picture helped us out so much because what we did was take our guesses and put it in Google images and if the picture matched the we knew we had it. And we did, we found it on our 3rd try. That’s how we found out our mystery city.…

    When in fact the dolphins were trying to warn them about the destruction of Earth but humans never understood what dolphins were saying. The last message the dolphins ever sent out was “so long and thanks for all the fish” (Adams 156). The other creature that was more intelligent than the dolphins were the mice, and yet the irony that man thought they were experimenting on mice, when in actuality it was mice experimenting on man, shows how limited mankind’s thinking really is. Even more mind boggling is that mankind never fathomed that they were the key to the ultimate question and were “five minutes” away from completing the program. Another great animal to compare humankind to would be the personification of the whale, it was given consciousness but unfortunately it was also falling to its death. However in those mere seconds a free thinking the whale thought of things in which it takes regular humans ions to think of like “Who am I? Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life?” (Adams…

    | The narrator, in making a seemingly offhanded comment about Rat’s tendency to lie, reveals another major point of the novel: the truth of a particular story is differing from person to person. Each person, with his or her own perspective, will relate or retell a story in a way they believe is befitting. While some may see this as a lie, others may see it as a necessary exaggeration of the truth in order to achieve the full meaning of the storytelling.…

    Large Ant Essay

    • 1683 Words
    • 7 Pages

    What is “human nature”? Do a natural set of behavioral paradigms govern our morals at the most basic level? And more importantly, are those prescribed behaviors inherently good, or naturally evil? The Large Ant by Howard Fast depicts human nature as leaning toward the latter. Many other artistic and literary works seem to take this position, arguing that because humans have the capacity to commit evil deeds, they must themselves be evil. In Fast’s view, humans are naturally selfish and xenophobic, reacting to the unknown with violence instead of simple curiosity. This story, however, presents an overly cynical and unrealistic glimpse of human nature at its worst. Its arguments are often self-contradictory, and in the end, The Large Ant’s critique of human nature proves unjustifiably negative.…
