Group C: Venus and the Ark

I agree with Katz' opinion about choosing two men. In the poem it is discussed that all the animals grew and reproduced. This shows that the two men were intentionally chosen so that only the animals could reproduce. It also seems as if the two men were Earth's last hope for life, but instead of choosing Earth to remain on, they decided to start life on another planet. Venus was the new source of life in which the male Ph.D.'s wanted to start a utopia and leave Earth, which had become a dystopia.
