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.

sattari [20]

Hello. You did not provide the passage to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for me to give you an exact answer, but to help you, I will show you how to find the subject of a passage, which will guide you to the right answer.

The details of an excerpt are the phrases that support the main theme of the excerpt. For that, you will have to read the entire text and interpret the subject that is presented in this excerpt. Those subject is the answer to your question.

For example, if the excerpt shows confusing rules when the character questions the insasatex and unbelief of those rules, it means that the theme is "The rules of life do not always make sense".
