1. Q- 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.

A - In Wall.E’s world there is garbage and junk everywhere, its all brown and no green. The only green living thing on there is a plant. I think that hundreds maybe thousands of years that could be our world. Maybe our world would not be as gross and brown. I think this because everything is already collecting up and getting gross. Earth is not nearly as clean as it was years ago. The pollution is just getting worse and worse each year. People are trying to cut down the pollution but there is some people that just don’t care. Wall.E’s world and our would may be very similar many years in the future.

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

A- Buy and Large is what everyone in the movie Wall.E lives by. Its what everything is like clothing, food, and everything Buy and Large controls everything on Axiom. If buy and large says green they go green if it says blue they go blue.

5. Q- 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.

A- People on Axiom lifestyles are very different from our lives on Earth today but in also similar in way as well. Obviously the people on Axiom are fat because they don't do anything themselves they tell robot type things what to do and they do it for them. People in Axiom also don't walk around they have floating chairs that they go everywhere in. Even if your beside someone they talk over the computer that is in front of their face. People on Axiom are similar to us on Earth today because we have technology like laptop and cell phones we don't communicate face to face as much as they used to 50 years ago. Axiom is much similar to Earth today than Earth 100 years ago.

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

A- The portraits of the captains on Axiom are telling us that since people went to Axiom they have begun to get fatter and fatter and the years went on. Leaving Earth changed them in many ways. On Earth they had to walk around and do things themselves they weren't able to tell a robot to do it for them. Axiom has made all people including the captains fatter.

2.Q- 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.

A- Wall.E collects many different artifacts for many different reasons. The lighter that Wall.E collected and didn't know anything about it or how it worked until Eve came along and showed him. I think this shows that we don't care about the things they own. This was shown in Wall.E because all the garbage everywhere and lighters and all neat things just laying on the ground for someone else to clean up. The plant was the most significant item that Wall.E collected. It was the only living thing left on the Earth. The nice blue ring box Wall.E came across with the expensive ring inside it caught my eye, because Wall.E didn't care about how pretty or expensive the ring was all he cared about was the box and how it opened and closed. The Twinkie was interesting because it was the only food left on Earth. Wall.E was a movie for kids but also has a much deeper meaning to it. Wall.E showed how badly the Earth is getting and how people aren't taking care of the Earth let alone themselves. Wall.E's artifacts have a much deeper meaning to them than what is being showed in the movie.
