Do you believe in aliens? If you had asked me this three weeks ago I would have laughed at this childish question. In the early 2000’s people used to believe in extraterrestrial life, but in my lifetime all science disproved the idea that we would ever see other planets, or the planet’s inhabitants. Our minds couldn't fathom a machine to enable us to see into our universe that far. The lack of hardcore evidence resulted in our ultimate refusal to accept that other life could exist and this eventually led to our ultimate demise.
We never gave much thought to the other billions of galaxies, with Earth's just like ours. Life has always been sustainable in other galaxies but to our disadvantage we are a "see it to believe it" species. Our imaginations

“Did she know They were there?” I thought horrifiedly. “Were They approaching from behind to attack her, or were They forcing her to walk with a gun aimed at her? Was she leading Them to one of our hideouts?!?” I was about to call out to her and warn her of her pursuers, when one of Them said to her “Call him again Marge, tell him you love him, and it is safe.” She did as one of Them had said. No hesitation, no sign of a visible gun, it appeared she was complying without any bonds, prodding, or compulsion. She started calling for John, her husband, telling him it was safe to come out, and it was all a trap. My heart shattered into a million pieces as she emotionlessly called to him, as though she wasn't betraying her significant other. I heard him before I saw him. “Marge?” he asked quiet, and disbelievingly. “Marge! You are alive!” Stirring came from deep in a buried forgotten garbage can, where I realized the voice had come from. As he hastily and clumsily climbed out of the garbage can, he stumbled down and fell. When he found his footing he rushed to Marge, unaware or beyond caring of Thier presence. He threw his arms around her, kissing her face repeatedly, through all his tears he said “Marge, I was so worried they had captured you!” Suddenly he froze. Fear, panic, and horror replaced all joy in his face. “Marge?” he said confusedly as he held her blank face in his …show more content…
As to how They were “changing” us, my mind assumes They have to change the brain somehow. Whether in a chamber that attaches to the brain and literally reassembles it, or on an operation table, one-by-one. I hope I never know for certain. All I really know is that after the victims are “changed” they do exactly as they are told; whether by command, radio waves, or brain to brain communication I am not sure. I do know that they aren't the same people. They don't think for themselves anymore. Those that survived the battle are slowly becoming slaves to
Jacobs elucidates to the reader the exhaustion, anguish and hopelessness that came over her upon discovering that Dr. Flint had begun building the cottage he threated to take Jacobs in as a concubine. She experienced such trauma that even the sound of his footsteps evoked fear in her and she trembled upon hearing his voice (Jacobs, 62). Dr. Flint held so much
...was a desperate act of a lonely, insane woman who could not bear to loose him. The structure of this story, however, is such that the important details are delivered in almost random order, without a clear road map that connects events. The ending comes as a morbid shock, until a second reading of the story reveals the carefully hidden details that foreshadow the logical conclusion.
“Well, Alice, my father said, if it had to happen to one of you, I’m glad it was you and not your sister” (57). Even though Alice was the victim of the horrid crime, she had to stabilize her own emotions, so that she could help her sister cope with this tragedy. Throughout Alice’s childhood, Jane struggled with alcoholism and panic attacks. “I wished my mother were normal, like other moms, smiling and caring, seemingly, only for her family” (37).
There is a cultural assumption that there are many alien civilizations in the universe. However, what do we really know about extraterrestrial life? With recent findings of water on Mars and the discovery of Trappist-1, there could be hope for extraterrestrial life out in the universe. Even though the water on Mars is frozen under the polar ice caps and Trappist-1 could be far from finding any alien life, there are still many articles supporting the research and looking forward to finding additional news. In the article “Could the TRAPPSIT-1 worlds harbor alien life?’ written by Liz Fuller-Wright, she reports the announcement of astronomers that they found a miniature solar system of seven Earth-sized planets. Furthermore, the argument is effective towards bright individuals because it makes one think about what it will be if there was actually life outside of Earth.
War changes people, with some changes being very dramatic and very quick. This is evident in the behavior of Norman Bowker, Bob “Rat” Kiley, and Tim O’Brien. These changes affected each person differently, but they all had dramatic changes to their personalities. These changes had very severe effects on each
Another part of the story that came off surprising was how her husband gave her up so easily. Instead of feeling bad for his wife, Mr. Hutchinson quickly admitt...
“Why? Why? The girl gasped, as they lunged down the old deer trail. Behind them they could hear shots, and glass breaking as the men came to the bogged car” (Hood 414). It is at this precise moment Hood’s writing shows the granddaughter’s depletion of her naïve nature, becoming aware of the brutality of the world around her and that it will influence her future. Continuing, Hood doesn’t stop with the men destroying the car; Hood elucidated the plight of the two women; describing how the man shot a fish and continued shooting the fish until it sank, outlining the malicious nature of the pair and their disregard for life and how the granddaughter was the fish had it not been for the grandmother’s past influencing how she lived her life. In that moment, the granddaughter becomes aware of the burden she will bear and how it has influenced her life.
Ever look up at the sky and just wonder if there is life anywhere else? Have you seen anything in the sky that is almost unexplainable? What if your thoughts really came true? The thought of the existence of aliens seems to have been around since the beginning of time. There is one incident in particular that really hits home when talking about the subject, the UFO incident of Roswell, New Mexico.
Her tense mind is then further pushed towards insanity by her husband, John. As one of the few characters in the story, John plays a pivotal role in the regression of the narrator’s mind. Again, the narrator uses the wallpaper to convey her emotions. Just as the shapes in the wallpaper become clearer to the narrator, in her mind, she is having the epiphany that John is in control of her.
“Straining his eyes, he saw the lean figure of General Zaroff. Then... everything went dark. Maggie woke up in her bed. “Finally woke up from that nightmare. Man… I miss my brother. Who was that person that my brother wanted to kill?” she looks at the clock and its 9:15am “Crap I’m late for work!” Maggie got in her car and drove to the hospital for work.

Marge being the worrying mother she is calls but of course, gets no answer so she decides she wants to go home and check up on the kids.
The existence of life – Aliens, beyond our planet has been a controversial topic for several centuries, and is a debatable issue even today in the 21st century. What is our topic you may ask? Aliens, Do, Exist. According to theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking, it would be improbable for life not to exist somewhere other than Earth. This is a bold claim, but there is evidence to support this statement. The evidence we seek is in the many Alien occurrences we have experienced throughout human history.
The story begins when she and her husband have just moved into a colonial mansion to relieve her chronic nervousness. An ailment her husband has conveniently diagnosed. The husband is a physician and in the beginning of her writing she has nothing but good things to say about him, which is very obedient of her. She speaks of her husband as if he is a father figure and nothing like an equal, which is so important in a relationship. She writes, "He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction." It is in this manner that she first delicately speaks of his total control over her without meaning to and how she has no choices whatsoever. This control is perhaps so imbedded in our main character that it is even seen in her secret writing; "John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition...so I will let it alone and talk about the house." Her husband suggests enormous amounts of bed rest and no human interaction at all. He chooses a "prison-like" room for them to reside in that he anticipates will calm our main character even more into a comma like life but instead awakens her and slowly but surely opens her eyes to a woman tearing the walls down to freedom.
...a was raised, she was learning life lessons. She learned of violence from inside The Little Store. She never considered Mr. Sessions and the woman in the store to have any kind of relationship because Eudora never saw them sit down together at the table. Then tragedy struck, and this was how she learned of violence. She never knew exactly what had happened, but knew it was not good. The family just disappeared. Every time she came home from the store, she was carrying with her a little of what she had learned along the way. She learned a lot about, ?pride and disgrace, and rumors and early news of people coming to hurt one another, while others practiced for joy?storing up a portion for [her]self of the human mystery? (82).
A galaxy, also called a nebula, consists of billions of stars, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter which are all bound to form a massive cloud in which we live in. Although it cannot be very well explained, dark matter makes up at least 90% of a galaxy’s mass. Galaxies also contain billions upon billions of stars and their diameter can range from 1,500 to 300,000 light years. That’s huge! The Milky Way, the galaxy in which we live in, is one of about 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Our Sun is one of the billions of stars in our galaxy, and our eight planets revolve around this star in only a tiny part of our galaxy. “The Earth’s solar system is believed to exist very close to the Galaxy’s galactic plane, due to the fact that the Milky Way essentially divides the night sky into two virtually equal hemispheres” ("All About the Milky"). It definitely makes people second guess the fact of there being life on other planets.
