WallE+Response+-+Krahn

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. I think the setting of Wall.E is sad because the world is a very polluted and messy while the people are in space Wall.E is cleaning up the mess and is very lonely. I think the future could be like this if we don't stop littering or cleaning the mess we left outside it could get very polluted and we wouldn't be on earth because it would be too polluted and we would get sick if we would. Wall.E is the only robot cleaning and you see broken down robots this tells us it has been a long time since the humans were on earth. 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.) Some of the artifacts that Wall.E found was the plant it was the last bio-form on the planet, the ring box showed how Wall.E was more interested in the mechanics than the worth, and the lighter showed how Wall.E collects things that he doesn't really know what they are or how they work. These symbols tell us that if we don't take care of the planet all the living plants will die and we will have to leave and when we leave for a while we will lose our knowledge about earth and won't know how to use things and won't care about diamonds. The human race needs to be more careful on how they litter and to clean up the earth before the earth will be littered and ruined. 4. What is the significance of the name “Buy and Large”? Explain in a few sentences. Buy and Large is something that provides the humans on the ship with everything they need and gives them satisfaction. When they need something they just say something and they get it right away. Buy and Large is a big thing in the Axiom because it keeps the humans comfortable and satisfied.

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 people who inhabited Axiom are very different because they don't do anything all day like the people on earth are working or going to school and playing sports unlike the people in Axiom the robots do everything. The people in Axiom do nothing and are doing nothing every single day because the robots are doing everything for them unlike on earth were you have to do everything you want to do. On earth you are more educated about the earth and know what planting is and how to do it and the people on earth are way more active and aren't losing bone. I think the message to be learned is that we should be more careful and take earth a lot more serious than we are taking it. 6. What do the portraits of the Axiom captains tell us about humans over the time since they left Earth? The people are losing bone and are mostly jelly because the people are always sitting on chairs and aren't walking. The portraits are picture of x-rays of them over the past 700 years they have lost an incredibly big amount of bone from the first people who still had all of there bones.
