 * 1. In a paragraph, describe the setting of Wall.E’s world in the first half hour of the movie. Is it a viable depiction of our planet’s future? Explain.**

Today we started watching the first half hour of Wall.E. The setting of Wall.E's world in the first half hour of the movie is like an abandoned place with lots of trash. There are lots of trashes in Wall.E's world and some of those can be recycled into some useful materials. The place looks like so lonely but i think no one can survive in that kind of place. Only Wall.E and robots can survive in that place. Wall.E is trying to save that place. Wall.E put the things on a place very organized. I think it's viable that our planet will become like that place when people continue to throw waste around instead of recycling them.


 * 2. Make note of and describe some of the “artifacts” that Wall.E has collected. What is the significance/meaning of these objects as symbols? What do they tell us about the human race? Explain in a paragraph. (Use the following chart to collect notes as you view.)**

The Plant-->the plant symbolizes that living things still exist on Earth. And that it's there only chance to go back on Earth. Ring Box--> Wall.E throw away the diamond ring but he kept the ring box. Maybe he throws the rings because Wall.E didn't know that it's very valuable. Bug--> The bug is Wall.E's friend. And it's the only insect existing on that place. Video Tape--> Wall. E watched the video tape over and over again. And the tape shows how the people looks before and how beautiful the Earth was. The Sun--> Wall.E is a solar robot, which means that Wall.E needs the sun in able to survive. And so that he'll not die. Buy N Large--> This is a company who controls everything. And everything is like instant. That's why people in Axiom are getting fatter and fatter.

Some of the things that Wall.E collected shows human race. And it proves that humans existed before. For example, the ring inside the ring box is a thing which human uses. And it's very precious to human beings. The video tape is a recorded film of human dancing and singing. Almost all of the things around Wall.E are things that human used for their everyday lives.


 * 4. What is the significance of the name “Buy and Large”? Explain in a few sentences.**

Buy and Large is a company in the movie WALL-E. This company produces large food, soft drinks and suit for people. All the things made by that company are high technology. They used technology a lot, they just need to talk to those machines and the machines will do anything they say. Buy and large control almost everything in Axiom. This company was so powerful in Axiom.


 * 5. Describe the lifestyle of the people who inhabit Axiom. Describe any similarities with these people’s lifestyle and the lifestyle of people on Earth today. What is the message to be learned from this comparison? Explain in a paragraph.**

The lifestyle of the people who inhabit Axiom are so unhealthy. They're eating unhealthy foods and they don't take a walk because there are chairs who are high tech. I think those people don't exercise that's why almost of them were fat.People in Axiom don't get old, they looks young even though their gone in the Earth for a very long time. Even babies on that time look so fat. There are some similarities with these people's lifestyle and the lifestyle of the people on Earth today because both people's are always drinking pop instead of water. And both people's use technology a lot.


 * 6. What do the portraits of the Axiom captains tell us about humans over the time since they left Earth?**

The portraits of the Axiom captains tells us that since they left Earth many things changes. Every captain's weight changes. They became fatter and fatter. The first captain was not that fat maybe because he knows how to control himself in eating and maybe because they don't use lots of technologies on their time. The Captains don't even walk because they have a hi tech chair. Captains don't even know what's Earth because they enjoy using hi technologies. Sometimes they can't even grab things, they need to call a robot to get the things for them. Technologies almost controls them. And maybe without technologies they can't survive.
