WallE+Response+-+Baker

The setting in Wall-E it is in the future and the world is covered entirely in trash, there are no humans because they left, no food left, frequent violent sand storms and no plants. Wall-E goes around and finds lots of stuff still intact like tapes, iPods and lots of other things. I don’t think it would really happen because there are to many people they care about the environment, but I do think it could happen if there were no people like that.
 * Mar. 25, 10 What is the setting in the first half hour of Wall-E?**


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

The significance of the name "Buy and Large" is that on some level humans can't control their impulse purchases. Buy and Large means that they are gonna buy more and larger things. Buy and Large is like Wal-Mart or another big company because they want you to buy stuff you don't need at all.


 * 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 on the Axiom are really fat and lazy, they don't do anything for themselves, they buy anything they want and they don't even notice things around them because they are talking to people or buying things. I think that some people on Earth are like this, like some people that are rich just hire maids and butlers to do everything and some people just buy anything they see. The message sent from this is that if we don't get any exercise and we don't help the Earth we will become monsters that don't do anything we just get others to do it for us.


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

The portraits of the captains get fatter an fatter which means that people on the Axiom are getting lazier and lazier, eating more and more and buying more and more which suggest that Buy and Large is winning over people.

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.**

One of the artifacts the Wall-E found was the plant, it signifies that no matter how much humanity is ruined we will always find away to come back and make everything better. It may also signify that if there is a horrible disaster all it takes is one little sign of hope to get everybody hopeful that everything will be alright. Another thing that Wall-E found was the Twinkie, the Twinkie symbolizes that we have so unhealthy food that it will last for years without going bad at all.
