War Of The Worlds Analysis

Part 1 Summary: The novel “Sophia’s War” written by Avi is about a girl name Sophia Calderwood and the Revolutionary War that is happening between the American and the British. When the British take over New York, the Americans aren’t treated so well. The British burned the most beautiful parts of the city and now those parts had become less beautiful. People become poor and were now keeping distance from one another. In New York misery and despair was everywhere. With this in mind, taken prisoner by the British was William but it wasn’t just William but other Americans that were with him too. No one was able to visit the prisoners, being that, since Sophia and her father had a job, they had enough money to bribe the soldiers to let them see

In this week’s Inside the War Room, we take a look at the two college football playoff games, discuss if Robert Nkemdiche is worth the risk of a first round draft pick, talk about whose draft stock is going up and down, and let you know who the top senior offensive guards are in the 2016 NFL Draft.

In the podcast, “Whose War Was It, Anyway?”, five historians observe and interpret the War of 1812 from various perspectives, influenced by their interest and area of studying. Different ways of looking at the history and improvement of technology over time has changed how the history of the War of 1812 has been studied. From various viewpoints, historians agree or disagree either with each other or with the way that the War of 1812 has been written by discovering new information and distortion of history, and providing their own interpretations of historical events. Additionally, the advance in technology has provided historians better access and information on the historical event, for instance, digitalized of the archives made the unknown

Lastly, the notion to hurt one’s enemy peoples to force their government into a complete surrender and to minimize the general loss of one’s own troops is immoral. Naturally, the typical ethical standards of war would not justify any use of dehumanization in order for a nation to supersede the other. The Japanese became dehumanized in the minds of American combatants and civilians. The process enabled greater cultural and physical differences between white Americans and Japanese than between the former and their European foes. In Michael Walzer's Just and Unjust Wars (1977), he defines “ the use of force by one nation against another is always wrong unless the latter has already forfeited its basic rights.” Walzer is clearly stating that wars; especially nuclear wars are unjust if they strip away basic civilian rights. In other words, they are ponds in a game of political and nuclear warfare.

The world is at war! Or is it? In the book “The War of the Worlds” Martians from Mars come to Earth to take it over. In order to do that, they must exterminate all the humans on Earth. The humans are completely defenseless when the Martians start to invade. All order and law is lost as the try to evacuate. Martians on the other hand feed off of the humans and collect them for food. During all these events one main theme sticks out and that is warfare. As the title implies the world is at war. The Martians extermination of humans, the story correlation with history, and, the idea of asymmetric war all support the theme of warfare.

There is something rather odd in the way America has come to fight its wars since World War II. It’s unimaginable that we would now use anything even remotely approaching the full measure of our military power (aside from the nuclear option) in the wars we fight. This seems only reasonable given the relative weakness of our Third World enemies in Vietnam and the Middle East. But the fact is that we were forced to take our soldiers out of Vietnam because we had lost, and today, despite our vast power, we are only slogging along in the Middle East against a hit-and-run organization that we seem unable to stop. Yet no one, including, very likely, the insurgents themselves, believes that America lacks the raw power to defeat this insurgency if it wants to. So clearly America has adopted and has an accurate sense of proportionality.

Throughout history, we observe a countless amount of leaders who implement a point of view in which that one person or a thousand people need to sacrificed in order to save a million others, then that is what is necessary. The idea of sacrificing a few for the greater good of mankind is an ideology that should be respected and followed, and we can see many real world implementations of sacrificing for the greater good in wars, history, books and movies. In a novel by Max Brooks, World War Z, the narrator retells the stories of numerous different characters who all have a different perspective on the zombie war. One of these characters, Paul Redeker, embodies this idea that when it comes to a zombie apocalypse, or what the people of this novel assume to be a form of rabies. During a zombie apocalypse, if there was a virus that possibly was threatening humanity, the approach of eradicating infected areas in order to save the majority is a solution that should be looked into. This ideology is often tied to a morality and philosophical standpoint in which it would be more difficult to assume a definite position on the topic due to numerous types of situational problems regarding extremely specific examples. Some of these examples revolved around what type of people are being used in the scenario and what they can contribute to society. This is done to develop theories on the morality of this idea. Putting morality aside and viewing the ideology

On October 30, 1938 Orson Welles would scared the nation with his radio broadcast titled “The War of the Worlds.” The American people became hysterical that an actual alien invasion was happening right before their ears. They could hear what was going on while it was broadcasting live on the radio. It was with this notion that Welles fooled his listeners. He could do this by interrupting the broadcast multiple times and have reporters interview eye witnesses. This came at a time when the American people relied on the radio for news and entertainment. Welles preyed on the notion that the American people relied on the radio for an understanding of the world in familiar terms. He would prove how easy American people believed in what they were told by the media and how they could be provoked into mass delusion.

War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells is a fiction story written about war and mankind’s coming of age. It is also a philosophical novel with many deep meanings underlying the shallow looking one-hundred-eighty-eight page book.

Given that many plants need to be sown and then reaped when fully grown, the metaphorical conceptualization of people as plants may, accordingly, be elaborated to include a reaper, more specifically a conceptualization of death as the Grim Reaper (Lakoff & Turner, 1989, pp. 16, 75):

In the novel The looking glass war by Frank Beddor it retails the novel of the adventures of alice in wonderland.

What would you do if you hear in the radio that there was a alien invasion in Halloween night.The radio drama titled War of the Worlds. Author Orson Welles explains about an alien invasion broadcast in the radio. War of the Worlds was radio broadcast made by Orson Welles in Halloween night setting New Jersey.

The show said there was apparently an alien invasion and only gaved a total of two warnings saying it was fake from the 60 minute broadcast.Although this radio drama caused panic and thousands of people feared. This play was really realistic and with good sound effects, which made thousands of people believe it was really happening.

The conflict, setting, and motif of War of the Worlds is: Man vs. Martian, early 20th century London, and Death (as the motif).

War is a dangerous game, many people would likely agree to this, however, very few have ever seen a battlefront. The truth is that war, no matter how awful we can imagine it, is always exponentially worse. In Timothy Findley’s The Wars, Robert Ross, the protagonist,­ faces a situation that he finds difficult to come to terms with, and when faced with a similar situation later on in the novel, he must take drastic measures to reconcile the uncertainties of the past situation. Timothy Findley suggests, through the life of Robert Ross, that one’s need to reconcile the uncertainties of past experiences dominate our actions when such situations come up again in our lives. In the words of Hiram Johnson, a US Senator during the First World War,

Through satire and irony using her perspective as an Iraqi woman, Dunya Mikhail personifies war as a machine, rather than the traditional masculine perspective of heroism on the battlefield. In “The War Works Hard” war is never ending; it is relentless and without mercy as it destroys everything in its path, leaving an endless generational wake of scars among the civilian victims caught in the zone that the war has chosen. The war scars forever.
