So far in the book, Mark has made progress with his potato farm and is actually successfully growing potatoes. Not only is he able to grow his potatoes, but he’s also been able to find a mars rover with a camera that's signaling to earth, and used it to communicate with NASA. By using the rover to communicate, they were able to tell him how to reprogram the rover to actually type with NASA instead of using signs and images. This whole book pretty much consists of one character, or at least so far. I feel like Marks relationship with himself changes a lot throughout the book. At first, he is very pessimistic and feels like his life is over. As the book progresses, he learns new ways to make food and water, and his mind set changes. He realizes that he might be able to survive until the next ship can get there. Mark also has relationships with the people at NASA that he’s communicating with. They are all rooting for him, and I think that gives him the hope and the energy to keep going. He also had relationships with everybody in his crew that had left him. They were all very friendly, and joked around a lot. I think we could establish that Mark was the “class clown” of the crew, and always cracked jokes that made the rest of the crew laugh. The director of NASA had decided to not tell the rest of the crew that Mark is still alive though, so they are all probably all mourning over the loss of Mark, even though he’s still alive.

The main character sounds like a super cool dude. Also sounds like goods are happening for him. His mindset is changing which allows him to make the best of the situation he is in. Really also like the way that you describe the character and significant points.
