World War Chapter 1 Summary

The exposition of the story starts in the beginning of the story before any conflict has risen. During the exposition, we find out that the Great War had been won and we are introduced to the super computer Multivac which was used to win the war. The rising action happens when Henderson and swift were discussing their use of multivac to win the war, “"Intuition, I presume. I juggled them till they looked right. At first, I hardly dared, I changed a bit here and there to correct what were obvious”” The climax starts when Lamar explains that he used a much older and smaller computing device to make the hardest of decisions. The falling action started when swift began to think of old memories and times he had used the coin with decisions before

The topic of aliens is often a very controversial one to talk about. The aliens in THE FOURTH KIND represent many fears that we have has as humans such as the fear of feeling inferior. That is why many people don’t like to acknowledge that there could possibly be other intellectual species outside of earth, due to the fear of them feeling inferior to a more advanced life form. If aliens are anything like the human species then we should all be afraid, due to the fact that the human race killed most of the animal species and even kidnapped and enslaved other humans. If extraterrestrials ever came to our planet, their technology and intellect would be far more advanced than ours and that could possibly hurt humanity because they could have the power and technology to enslave us. They also represent how people would be willing to do wicked things like using science and technology for malevolent purposes. The aliens abuse of power in the film reflect how humans could possibly turn out if we obtained their technology. Humans could learn to one-day build rockets and spacecraft’s that can travel to other planets and their main goal would be to use these technologies to benefit ourselves. If we had the power to overtake another planet and inhabit it, we would not hesitate to do so and we are willing to do the unthinkable for power and advancement. Aliens also represent the fear of there being no god or religion because most religious people oppose science and credit god for

iv. By the end of the story, Neo joins his comrades in their mission to free everyone in the Matrix, fulfilling his role as a savior.

People across the globe have been afraid of extraterrestrial beings for centuries. Most of these fears are brought about by the thought that any being that is more technologically advanced will inevitably want to bring destruction to all humans. Many people think this due to the history of human beings that shows those who come up with a better technology use that as power to be wielded against others. C.S. Lewis in Out of the Silent Planet shows that humans tend to fear the possible power of beings that are different and are technologically advanced. His characters show continuously the views that humans have for new or different beings. He constantly gives examples throughout the book of the ways humans look at, down at or up to, creatures of different levels of intelligence and of different appearances. The three species of “aliens” in this book give a good example of how well a society could work together if they looked at their differences as ways to help each other, rather than looking at them as a way to differ between higher and lower class. The creatures disregard appearance and intelligence and show just how little those characteristics matter in the total scheme of things.

Both sides, the humans and aliens, wonder if it is “too much we ask - simply to live, to work, and to build, in peace…” (page 12, Onns’ Diary). But still, although both sides expect to live in peace, they do not act peacefully. The alien leader kills a cat and a dog, because they think the creatures are monsters. On the other side, the humans kill the aliens, just because they do not really know, if the aliens might be dangerous. Therefore, they “sent a cloud of insect-killer

The First World War sometimes referred to as the European War was more commonly referred to as the Great War. So much in the world was changed by this war, so it simply by most known as the Great War. “It is because no other war until then had had such an impact on the world. It was the first war to affect all of the major nations of Europe and the world. It took many lives and changed the lives of millions more.” (Rivera, 2014) Some countries do not refer to the war as great because they lost so much and for them there was nothing great about the war. The war was groundbreaking as nothing like it had happened before. Different countries were uniting, fighting, and making new rules as they went along. Everything during the war was on a large scale including death, weapons, people, and affects.

The attributes of trench warfare during the twentieth century lead to a mass communication failure. Although new methods of communication expanded exponential growth during the years of the war, the recognition of communication holistically failed to reach full potential regardless of their benefits. As the situation began to exacerbate, miscommunication based on trench warfare paved the way as professional soldiers declined and replacements of civilization soldiers inclined. The battlefield failures occurred in multiple degrees, these failures shared the same theme of a mass communication catastrophe.

It is several hours since the meeting and Selison, now with his eyes sealed, Xasalamel and Zalminis are standing in the president’s private room in the UN headquarters along with one United States General. Two armed guards are standing on either side of the wooden door. The room is a simple square, almost like a hotel room, except instead of beds there is a large desk on the side opposite the door and there aren’t any windows. Several charts are around the room but nothing that could affect national security. There is a whiteboard on one wall with many different numbers on it that Xasalamel is standing next to with a marker in his hand. He twirls it in between his fingers while they wait.

The aliens technology surpasses ours greatly the have laser guns that can disintegrate anything they come Into contact with. They also have huge vacuums that suck up all of earth’s natural

The War of the Worlds, by author H.G. Wells, in many ways, is the epitome of science fiction, and in particular, the entire alien invasion idea. Since 1898, stories of Earth succumbing to extra terrestrial beings have become a predominant feature of the science fiction genre, Hollywood movies, and pop culture, all thanks to this novel. With his novel, Wells created an entire genre of themes we see time and time again. However, this prominence has sufficiently marred the ability to appreciate The War of the Worlds in all its glory. As a first time reader who is familiar with other science fiction, I found myself almost bored and rolling my eyes every time a worn out trope appeared. I struggled to remind myself that these ideas, at the time of

On February 24, 1942 shortly after the United States entered the second world war, 100,000 people watched as an unknown craft invaded the skies of Los Angeles. Anti-aircraft guns went into war against unidentified aircraft within the Los Angeles area. This research paper is about aliens, it will analyze: their existence, purpose, and power.

World War 1 and World War 2 are the 2 major wars in history that changed the social economic and political factors of the world. The first world war started because of Imperialism, Militarism, Alliance System, and Nationalism. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand by a serbian nationalist proved to cause even more conflict. New technology and trench warfare aided to the conflict and the end of stalemates in the war. America was drag dragged into the war by german threats and activity. The war ended with the treaty of versailles which was formed to restrict german power. After this the league of nations was formed for peace. World War 2 is a direct result of german treatment. Adolf Hitler formed a german totalitarianism through

Aliens are some of the world’s most controversial and talked about creatures in the universe. People from different cultures, religions, and parts of the world may call them different things, they all share the same concept about the strange people or creatures from different worlds visiting earth. Sightings of aliens and other extraterrestrial beings have been reported for thousands of years, and are still present in today’s day and age. According to David Seed the concept of aliens in science fiction can be understood by three overlapping senses. According to the novel the three senses are “It could refer to startlingly different being sometimes from other planets”, which is the most universal definition of an alien. Second “it could refer to social estrangement”, like we seen in the blood sucking Martians in The War of the worlds

The main conflict of the story is man versus man. This is because Savy’s ongoing conflict is with Jennifer Richard II, the President of the United States. Although until the denouement this conflict is not personal to Jennifer, it is implied throughout the story because Savy and her friends constantly go directly against Jennifer’s wishes. Then at the end of the story, Jennifer threatens Savy’s friends, making the man vs man conflict with her direct. During the climax, Savy and her friends must have a debate with the Aliens in order to convince them to leave Earth. This is another man vs man conflict because Savy and her friends argue directly with them in order to prove their point. Although Savy’s conflict with the Aliens is not her main
