What is the townspeople's first reaction to the appearance of the cylinder from Mars in War of the Worlds?

Answers

Answer:

They were curious but generally unafraid of the strange thing.

Explanation:

Herbert George Wells wrote the science fictional novel "War of the Worlds" detailing a conflict between humans and the extraterrestrial beings. Wells uses an unidentified narrator and his brother as his protagonists, showing the alien invasion in England.

In "Chapter IV: The Cylinder Opens", the narrator tells how the strange cylinder that houses the Martian aliens began to open. The people who had been engrossed in the strange new thing that had suddenly appeared from the sky were suddenly alarmed with the motion. Some were eager to get away from the scene while most were beginning to flock themselves to see the new scene, everyone wanting to get a glimpse of what is to be revealed. Overall, they were too taken by the strange new thing than feeling any fear of it.

Answer:

  They gathered around the "meteor" with curiosity rather than fear.

Explanation:

  After a few months have passed from the explosions were seen by the narrator in mars a "meteor" lands near his house.

  When the cylinder opened, the Martians emerged but they can´t stand the earth´s conditions. They retreat again into the cylinder. A group of humans approached the cylinder again, now with a white flag to show that they don´t want to hurt them. But they get incinerated by a beam beginning the war.

Answers

The correct answer is:

Their characters are generally flat and merely function as symbols for particular concepts.

Explanation:

This means that they include metaphors, imagery, and symbolical messages all eventually the story. Stories are often philosophical and political in nature that could impose morals or education. Allegories are involved in nature and are often thought-provoking and can be defined uniquely by each of its readers, spectators or listeners. On the other hand, genuine fiction is a type of fiction in which the story has elements that can be seen by the audience as something that is currently subsisting and convincing to them.

Classical allegories are metaphorical in nature. This means that they contain metaphors, imagery and symbolical messages all throughout the story. Stories are often philosophical and political in nature that could impose morals or enlightenment. Allegories are complex in nature and are often thought-provoking and can be interpreted uniquely by each of its readers, viewers or listeners. On the other hand, realistic fiction is a type of fiction in which the story has elements that can be seen by the audience as something that is currently existing and believable to them. A person, place or animal is known to the audience and the author; and these elements are only used to create a different story that is fictional with a realistic setting.

Well I'm such an imaginative kind of person, and the story is really made me so tempted to read the last page of it to know the end. The blinds have a limited ideas about the universe and they didn't believe Nunez when he told them about the sight. What a pity !! He found the person who listens to him and he fell in love with her, and when I read that he have to remove his eyes to marry her. Honestly, I was whispering to myself "Don't tell me that he will agree to lose his eyes on account of the girl he loves." But he went above and beyond my expectations. He's so brave and brainy man and I liked the way he thought and how he acted while trying to prove to them that he had the power of sight. He finally escaped from this creepy valley, what a happy ending.Can u guys double check my answer and please correct my grammar mistakes ???
