<span>Now Britain had never been visited by the Romans, and was entirely unknown to them before the time of Caius Julius Caesar, who, in the year 693 after the foundation of Rome, but the sixtieth year before the Incarnation of our Lord, was consul with Lucius Bibulus. While he was making war upon the Germans and the Gauls, who were divided only by the river Rhine, he came into the province of the Morini, whence is the nearest and shortest passage into Britain. Here, having provided about eighty ships of burden and fast-sailing vessels, he sailed over into Britain; where, being first roughly handled in a battle, and then caught in a storm, he lost a considerable part of his fleet, no small number of foot-soldiers, and almost all his cavalry. Returning into Gaul, he put his legions into winter-quarters, and gave orders for building six hundred sail of both sorts. With these he again crossed over early in spring into Britain, but, whilst he was marching with the army against the enemy, the ships, riding at anchor, were caught in a storm and either dashed one against another, or driven upon the sands and wrecked. Forty of them were lost, the rest were, with much difficulty, repaired. Caesar’s cavalry was, at the first encounter, defeated by the Britons, and there Labienus, the tribune, was slain. In the second engagement, with great hazard to his men, he defeated the Britons and put them to flight. Thence he proceeded to the river Thames, where a great multitude of the enemy had posted themselves on the farther side of the river, under the command of Cassobellaunus, and fenced the bank of the river and almost all the ford under water with sharp stakes: the remains of these are to be seen to this day, apparently about the thickness of a man’s thigh, cased with lead, and fixed immovably in the bottom of the river. This being perceived and avoided by the Romans, the barbarians, not able to stand the charge of the legions, hid themselves in the woods, whence they grievously harassed the Romans with repeated sallies. In the meantime, the strong state of the Trinovantes, with their commander Androgius, surrendered to Caesar, giving him forty hostages. Many other cities, following their example, made a treaty with the Romans. Guided by them, Caesar at length, after severe fighting, took the town of Cassobellaunus, situated between two marshes, fortified by sheltering woods, and plentifully furnished with all necessaries. After this, Caesar returned from Britain into Gaul, but he had no sooner put his legions into winter quarters, than he was suddenly beset and distracted with wars and sudden risings on every side.</span>
Answer: B.The novel was written in past tense, and the radio broadcast was presented in present tense.
<em>The War of the Worlds</em> is a novel by H. G. Wells, first published in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine. It tells the story of the conflict between humans and a race of aliens. The novel uses the past tense.
On the other hand, the transcript of the radio broadcast uses the present tense. This is one of the reasons why the broadcast is so famous nowadays. An "urban myth" (as its veracity is disputed) says that when the broadcast aired on October 30, 1938 over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network, it caused panic among the listening audience, who thought the alien invasion was a piece of news.
Considering you have to write about a teen who wants to earn money, make it interesting at least.
You can have the teen (male or female) struggling to get money as they are handling high school, sports (if you want to make them do sports), and other things.
Everybody knows that it's definitely a struggle to be a student and work at the same time, but in the end it eventually it pays off. I'd base this idea off of society nowadays, where teens become pregnant to just get free money off of the government because they're a single mom. How about the teens who actually want to do something in life?
- I'd start out with the teen a month into their job they have at the moment, juggling exams in school and other classes. Maybe they eventually figure out that the job they have currently is doing no good for them (insert a low pay check?). They are soon to graduate, and don't know if they can afford a college to go to. They decide to resign from their job and search for another, even if it's short time such as doing things for neighbors (mowing, babysitting, etc). They eventually find a job where they feel appreciated at and happy to work for. Soon enough, after all of the hard work they have been put through and done, they finally have enough money to pay for a college tuition, a college that they actually wanted to go to in the first place. I'd suggest to add in friends along the way that help the teen get motivated and where they are today.
It's just an idea, but this would be definitely something I would write about.
The most admirable character in the war of the worlds was the character played by Tom cruise. The character, even though he was in a situation where he could run away because the kids that lived with him were his first wife's, he still protected them and played with his own life to save theirs.
