Essay about War of the Worlds by Herbert George (H.G.) Wells

H.G. Wells demonstrates proper use of different literacy techniques throughout The War of the Worlds. The first technique that he uses is descriptive language. Throughout the story, he uses his words to describe characters or his surroundings. One example would be when he states “the turf and gravel about it seemed charred as if by a sudden explosion.” (pp. 11). This statement describes the narrator's surroundings. He also uses descriptive language when describing the Martians, by stating their physical characteristics. A specific example would include when the narrator is describing the Martian's behavior in Chapter Two of the second book. Also, Wells also uses foreshadowing as a technique. At the end of Chapter Five in Book One, the Martians

Both “Zero Hour” by Ray Bradbury and War of The Worlds by H.G Wells present to us a society under attack by Martians. However, their stories are both very diverse pieces and this is presented in a medley of ways. The authors of War of The Worlds and “Zero Hour” portray alien invasions in different ways through the character’s arrival and different methods of arrival.

To begin with, a motif I have noticed in the book is the townspeople. This is a possible motif because in chapters 5-7, the townspeople of the town Eatonville are constantly

One motif that I noticed was technology in society. I came up with this motif because of the hidden microphones. Also because of the telescreens in every citizens room. Another motif in the novel 1984 is manipulation. The government manipulates the citizens. An example of this is when the government barley gives the citizens enough food and the government says there getting enough. Another motif that is in this book is separation. Separation is a motif because no one is allowed to truly love somebody. The government wants all the peoples energy saved for the government. Another motif is Big Brother Is Watching. That’s a motif because it’s saying that someone is always watching you. Big Brother is the ruler of

The Martian is arguably one of my favorite books because of the fantastic tone and character development. The Martian follows Mark Watney, a scientist who majored in botany and mechanical science. He get stranded on mars after a dust storm knocks out communications with NASA and the rest of his crew leaves when they believe he is dead from shrapnel in the storm.

Both stories , The War of the Worlds , written by H. G. Wells and “Zero Hour” written by Ray Bradbury contained disastrous events which shocked the reader and made them intrigued. In the stories, both authors, using key ideas and details, express how life was like during the invasion and how the characters react to these hard conditions.

Despite its location, Dot’s Donut Shop was about to get famous. I mean, being the crash site for the second wave of aliens on earth can earn quite the reputation, and what are the odds I would be working there that very day? Well, to understand my position entirely, we need to go back to the beginning.

Mars is only a tenth of the size of the Earth. In Andy Weir’s The Martian, the main plot is that astronaut Mark Watney is stuck on Mars. The main conflict is that he is struggling to survive in harsh conditions with little food and other resources. The theme is learning to survive and adapt with changes--maybe a drastic one, like getting stranded on another planet. The author of The Martian, Andy Weir, has led a very interesting life which allows him to embed great action and humor into his first novel.

NASA has been trying to survive on Mars for years, but in this novel, they already have. The Martian is a science fiction novel about Mark Watney, a botanist for NASA, is involved in a mission to Mars, until one day he is left behind on Mars with limited supplies. Watney has to persevere through several challenges to get back home, and try not to die in the process. The Martian is a very suspenseful book written by the interesting author, Andy Weir, who uses humor to counter the drama.

“I might not have heard of the eruption at all had I not met Ogilvy,

The War of the Worlds is a tale of survival, great disaster, and the ways in which individuals react to it. It really opens the eyes of the reader and makes him think about what he would do in a situation like that. Would you act heroically like the narrator’s brother did, looking out for other people and saving them as aliens totally annihilate your hometown? Would you act like the artilleryman and only look out for yourself? Or, would you totally crack like the curate?

Writing science fiction allows the author to express their concerns and beliefs freely. H.G. Wells used a combination of symbolism and imagination to create a science fiction novel that readers are able to dive into as if it could be their own life. He created worlds based on: real locations, world problems, and possible future events. Brian Holmsten and Alex Lubertozzi described in the book The Complete War of the Worlds "The period between 1890 and 1910 was truly a golden age of scientific thought and science fiction writing." (87). Modern science fiction became popular because of the way the authors could symbolize their thoughts into their works. In her book Young Adult Science Fiction, Suzanne Elizabeth Reid describes science fiction

The war of the world’s is a story based off in london around the 19th century. It was all peaceful there until they saw what they thought was a falling meteorite but was actually alien pods. When the main character and his brother and hundreds of other curious people went to check out the falling meteorite they realized that it wasn’t a falling meteorite and that they were metal pods but they had no clue what was in them. After a couple of days the pods begin to start to opening up and grew tentacle arms and the pods stood up hundreds of feet in the air. The martians started the attack on earth by shooting down heat rays down on the city killing people all around. With all the panicking going on throughout london, the narrator and his brother
