Could this be the Bitterings at the watering hole before turning completely into Martians?

They look a little tan here!

Today we finished the story.  We also discussed what makes the story have a circular plot.

After reading you completed questions 6 and 7.

6.  The lieutenant likes the Martian landscape.  What could you predict from that information?

7.  What do you think the relationship between the Bitterings and the newcomers will be?  EXPLAIN your answer

You also were given a frame on a piece of paper.  You are to draw (IN COLOR) a picture that may appear in the Bitterings family scrapbook or on their wall of family photos.  Be sure you can explain your photo to the class on Monday!
