The sentance, "we went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck", sets up the novel in many ways. The novel continues on to show how the group of teens become bored with the place because it is not what they expected. They show agian and agian that they don't want to be there because it bored them and they ran out of things to do. The narrator is the first one to complain because he sees the space as an empty and old place. He points out that the others might of also felt the same way because they show signs of avoiding the emptiness of space. In some ways he is acually right because space does look old and empty and it does make you want to avoid thinking about it.
What I notice about the language that anderson uses is that it is something that relates to teens because it includes slang. The slang is metioned in a way, so that you see it in the way the people are talking. For example most of the people in the story use the word "like" alot when describing something which is something that is very common among teens. An example would be when the narrator explained his coversation, he said, "she was like, Da da,da? Da,da!". The purpose for doing this is to connect with the reader so they can understand what the feed is doing to the teenagers. This tactic is very effective because it work in connecting the reader to the context, which is very important.
The moon is very waste land on the outside but built for teens on the inside. when they first arrive on the moon the narrator states," the craters all being full of old broken shit,..."At first glance the moon seems boring and not filled with life becuase from the outside it does look like that. When they get into the inside they like the moon a little more, but it is still not the spring break hot spot that they have hoped for. Although it was built for teens becuase it contains many things that teens like in the mall and their rooms.
