    Every story has two things: an event, and a witness. Storytelling is, simply, a witness sharing an event with others who did not see it. The art of storytelling is a creative way to talk about an event with so much detail that the audience of the story comes close to perceiving what the witnesses perceived. A story can be told artistically from two points of view: first person and third person. A first person narrator tells the story of the event from the memory of a witness and third person narrator tells a story from an objective point of view of one who knows more about the characters than the characters themselves.

This really made the reader feel as if Mark Watney and all the other characters were real people and that the event was going on in the real world. The way you created the character Mark Watney, with his sarcastic and funny attitude, is really a mystery to me.
