The most succesful element that creates suspense in the opening paragraph of The War of Worlds is the third person all knowing narrator. The story grabs your attention from the beggining by giving us a bird eye view of everything that has been going on prior to the beggining of the action. The use of comparison also adds a nice element of suspense. The author tells us the vast difference in intellect and resources between the invaders and human by using a common comparison, like that of a human watching something through a microscope, but without giving us any datail, leaving us wanting more. He also goes on to elaborate on how trivial our little everyday lives are compared to what he knows is coming soon. He also builds up anticipation by telling us that this isn't a spur of the moment decision, we've been watched for a long time, plans have been hatching for a while, the invasion is inevitable, and we, along with the protagonists, have no idea of what's coming, and we can't wait to find out.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Therefore, his theory of cognitive development suggests that developmental changes are discontinuous and occur in stages.

Explanation:

Psychologist Jean Piaget formulated the Theory of Cognitive Development. His theory suggests that developmental changes are discontinuous and occur in stages. Instead of there being a gradual, fluid process of development, in Piaget's theory children show different abilities according to the stage in which they are. Those stages are connected to their age, and the changes they bring are sudden. Therefore, there is a discontinuation, as if the second stage is supposed to happen at a certain time and in a certain manner, independently of the first stage, for instance. In his theory, there is a total of four developmental stages.
