I don't have an antagonist in my novel.  Instead, my teacher has asked me to explain some ideas about hunting in my novel. 1. Hunt early, eat early.  Hunt late, stand and wait. Which means the earlier you can get out and start hunting the earlier you can start to eat, otherwise you won't get anything to eat.

John has a constant worry and it trying to do his best to cope knowing his grandfather is going to pass away soon.

Mars affects our design because of the rocky terrain, we need it to be bottom heavy so it doesn’t flip over by the extreme rocky terrain the the extreme weather conditions up on mars, it also would need to be bigger than the rocks so it doesn’t topple over and if it flips over we need to have a recovery system to flip up the robot again Our robot also has camera, censors and a claw. The camera for taking photos on mars the censor for detecting moving things and t...
