4-The neighbors will start to believe that Les Goodman is an alien.
At this point in the teleplay, The neighbors are starting to become paranoid. They don't understand why the power is acting so sporadically. The suggestions that have been offered as to the source of this strange occurrence had them believing in aliens. In the excerpt, the people are described as staring at Les Goodman's house and being "desperately frightened by it." These clues indicate that they are suspicious of Les Goodman, not trusting allies or happy for him.
When you compare two texts, you do more than find what is similar or different. You should also draw conclusions about how the techniques the authors use accomplish their purposes.
It's been a while since I've read the book and I don't really a lot of the context, so just from this passage I would say it says he notices nice houses and other people's wealth and maybe envies them a little bit. (although you don't get that explicitly from this passage.)
