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.

Wall-E’s world is not ideal for human beings to live in. It is dry, barren and harsh. The soil is bad for planting and it is riddled with garbage and junk. There are stacks of garbage as big as city buildings its self. The dirt and garbage storms are so bad that Wall-e is even taking cover in his garbage compacter that he lives in. The sun barely shines through the smog covering the city. So very little plants could live in this climate because of the lack of nutrients and sunshine needed to make photosynthesis. The only food you could eat is Twinkies, Twinkies and more Twinkies unless you could produce some other type of food. Escaping from this earth could be really hard because of the garbage in the atmosphere. yes because I think people will take drastic action before it ever gets that way. But it will get that way eventually. No matter what the humans do. Because people have to live and not all people will follow the cleaning of the earth.

March 25, 2010 Wall-E movie' 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 a chart to collect notes as you view.)

Wall-E collected Artifacts I think that most of the objects he collected were mysterious, shiny, colorful, and made noise. so that is why he collected them. And then the parts he got from different Machines. We are more concerned about making cheap, simple items that have little life span. so you have to buy more. This material is probably plastic and not environmentally friendly. Then Buy n Large probably means you buy big containers that are probably not earth friendly because that would be to expensive. So the humans are always looking for the easiest cheapest way to make money. Even if it means slowly killing the earth.

4. What is the significance of the name “Buy and Large”? Explain in a few sentences. The name buy n large means to me that you buy large so you get large in weight and size. As well as the garbage will be big. So there will be tons of garbage. But as well for some reason it reminds me of lots of products unable to be recycled. they also took over lots of other things like transportation and pretty much peoples every day life.

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 life style if the people on Axiom are very large, lazy and unhealthy. The activities in the show are very easy. They require little movement or thinking. They are piles of goo. As you see in the movie they have lost bone mass. As well as muscle and probably the ability to walk and work. Even the kids are very large and lazy. they even have lunch,supper and breakfast in a cup! Humans in the real world are not that bad. They still are getting that way. Fast food restaurants are on every corner in every town, accessible at any time. In Stores all around the world I am sure that you will see obese people in the unhealthy section, in motorized scooters. Because they cant stand and walk for 1 hour and a half. But I think that not every person would get fat because at least some people would want to be happy.

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

The first one was standing up and looked healthy. As time goes by the chin widens and they are not so slim. Then they weren't able to stand up any more. Now they are just lazy. Every year they got bigger. They lost bones and muscle in the process. They started to depend on the robots and floating chairs. As well as the portraits go along the characters turn more into cartoon characters!?.
