Martians and Mushrooms

For this weeks blog post I decided to analyze the reading called The Martians Claim Canada. This story is about a group of three martians that are looking to go to New York to watch a musical but land in Canada. They meet a mushroom that ultimately tells them that they landed in Canada. the mushroom, or Anamita, explains to the martians the history of Canada and how it came to be how it is. The mushroom also influences the Martians that there are no musicals in Canada and that they should claim Canada and make their own musical that involves mushrooms. The dynamics o the story are very simple. It only involves a simple conversation between the three martians and the mushroom.

This graph shows the connections between the characters. For this story it just shows that the four characters were having a conversation. In further detail, the three martians were conversing with the mushroom and looking for information through it. The graph doesn’t show how this connection came to be. Neither does it really show the relation between the characters. The story was short and to the point. Thus this tool was not very helpful.
