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.

Which assumption about George is most likely true based on the stage direction?
Artyom0805 [142]

At the beginning of act two, scene two, there is a conflict between George and Beneatha after they get home. They have dated many times before, and when they were out this time, he tells her that he expects to have a more physical relationship with her, revealing his thoughts about education, that he sees it only as a way to get money.


When he tried to kiss her at the couch while she was trying to have a conversation telling him about her dream of becoming a doctor, she moved away and refused to kiss him. George gets angry saying that "he expects women to appear sophisticated but not to express sophisticated opinions" (C) as she's been doing many times, calling her moody and her thoughts stupid. Beneatha resolves it by ending the relationship calling him a fool. He wouldn't take her seriously and she could not change his mind deciding he is not the man for her.

Make a comparison between the Hunger Games and something else you have read or a real-life experience you have had
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Ok, so here is my answer. (Hunger games is the greatest novel of all time)

Explanation:

The <em>Hunger Games</em> trilogy is a dystopian Novel. In the ruins of North America arose a brand new country, Panem. There are Twelve Districts in Panem. The Capitol of Panem makes sure they have a tight clench on each district by forcing them to send Two children from each district to fight to the death until one Victor remains. This is to remind the districts of the "supposed Crimes" the districts made during the dark days.

   Katniss Everdeen a resourceful and strong girl from District 12 and Peeta Mellark a Bakers son are chosen to fight to the death. Katniss accepts the fact that she will die in the arena, but it appears that Peeta has not. It just so happens that Peeta saved Katnisses life by feeding her bread when she and her family were on the brink of starvation.

So breif summary:

Peeta declares he loves Katniss

She teams up with Peeta

They gradually fall in love.

How to compare it to other dystopian novels?

Well, I would compare it with the Government.

In pretty much every dystopian Novel ever, The goverment is evil.

The list of books you could compare this with:

The Pretty's

The Giver

The Matched Trilogy...

The list is endless!

I really hope this helps!!!!!!!
