Harry realized that he and his family, on Mars, began to change in strange ways, to lose
their Earthliness. That's why he decided to retun to the earth.

bombing. He wanted to avoid the expected calamities on the earth.
They faced a very hot climatethere. There was fog at night. There were hot airs during the
day. The summer burnt the canals dry.
The Bittering Family felt that they had been stranded [locked] there on the Mars forever.
Harry, in fear, was drenched [wet] in sweat.
They wanted to grow earthly vegetables and fruit like peach, trees and onions on the earth.
Their house was in a very bad condition. The hot airs during the day, the fog at night had

Harry, referring to the odd peach blossoms, onion and grass, hinting at their black bodies
and golden eyes, advised the people to go back to the Earth.

No, Margaret did not know about it.
The trees were loaded with locusts and their branches bent down due to the weight of the
insects.

The white people thought them inferior citizens. They were made slaves.
These veterans are still hopeful. They suffer a great deal while bringing reforms to the
society. They bear all the hardships with patience and courage.
The dream of Martin Luther King Jr. is to see his nation free one day. There will be no social
discrimination in the country. Every citizen will be treated equally.
The Negroes should believe that they will be able to rise one day. They should believe in the
equality of human beings. They should be committed to their aims.
The case of the Negroes' freedom was pleaded for the glory of the country. Martin Luther
wanted to win equal rights for the Negroes in the USA.
A person should not be judged by the colour of his skin but by the contents of his character.
