16. “There is no such
thing as a new idea.
It is impossible.
We simply take a lot
of old ideas and put
them into a sort of
mental kaleidoscope.
We give them a turn
and they make new
and curious
combinations.”

24. They must know how to link apparently
unconnected elements to create something new.
People who hope to thrive in the Conceptual Age
must understand the connection between
diverse, and seemingly separate disciplines.

49. Summary
The pigs will be space pilots creating the
first human settlements on Mars.
Their structures will be threatened by their
own malfunctioning robot.
However, the robot is also their only hope
of returning home.

50. Non-Examples
It’s like The Three Little Pigs, but they’re
dogs.
Instead of a brick house, it’s made of
stone.
The pigs will live in a desert!

52. Persuasion
Three Martians is a suspenseful, sci-fi
take on The Three Little Pigs. It takes the
classic story and retells it for an older
audience.
There is real danger for the characters as
they try to stop the robot while keeping it
working so they can return to earth.

53. Non-Examples
It will be better.
You will like it since it’s funnier.
This version will have lots of interesting
things.
