The war of the worlds
This essay will discuss how chapter four ‘the cylinder unscrews’ is
important to the novel as a whole. ‘‘The war of the worlds’’ was
written by Herbert George Wells, the novel was written in response to
several historical events. The most important one was the unification
and militirisation of Germany. ‘The war of the worlds’ was written in
1894 which later in 1983 was aired on radio broadcast by Orson Wells.
The novel is about Martians invading earth because they can no longer
survive on mars. The people try everything to get rid of the Martians
but in the end nature wins against science. H.G. Wells has included a
lot of science fiction in this story which makes this story effective.
In the 1st chapter the narrator describes how Earth may be seen ‘by
greater, more intelligent forces’ same as humans ‘with microscopes
scrutinize the transient.’ This novel is still popular today for the
wait of a big film coming out next year.
The fundamental reason to why ‘the cylinder unscrews’ is important to
the novel as a whole is because it’s the first time we seethe
Martians, but there are also many other reasons to why this chapter is
important to the novel as a whole. as we can see at the beginning of
chapter four we see signs of unease and fear arising ‘the voices were
raised …’ the first real evidence of actual fear is in chapter four as
well, when the narrator passes the young boy as he heads for home ‘I
don’t like it.’ At this point the crowd is also getting more worried
and closer to the danger. Further on in the chapter we come to the
build up of suspense towards the cylinder being unscrewed ‘I had the
sunset in my eyes’ revelation delayed by a description of what people
expected to ...

The science fiction part is again where the author describes the
breathing of the Martians the description of the Martians is part of
science fiction but is more of a fantasy and is completely imagined
‘tentacles’. The historical fits in with the chapter because the story
was most appealing to the Victorian reader Wells used his scientific
knowledge to intrigue the reader. The social concept in the story is
symbolic and shows cruse characterisation of the mob.
In conclusion this chapter is important to the novel as a whole
because it is the first time we meet the Martians base on the evidence
in this essay. My views about ‘the war of the worlds’ is that although
the writer used a lot of science fiction in the first tree chapters it
was really effective when it came to the actual description of the
Martians.

throughout the novel allows the audience to gain a better understanding and personal compassion for both the character and the author. 	The novel is written in a short, choppy sentence structure using simple word choice, or diction, in a stream of consciousness to enable the reader to perceive the novel in the rationale of an eleven-year-old girl. One short, simple sentence is followed by another, relating each in an easy flow of thoughts. Gibbons allows this stream of thoughts to again emphasize the childish perception of life’s greatest tragedies. For example, Gibbons uses the simple diction and stream of consciousness as Ellen searches herself for the true person she is.

Thirdly, the Clash of Civilizations is a theory by Samuel Huntington, which shows that the conflicts that North Korea and South Korea faces in the modern era are caused by differences. On one hand, the war was considered the clash of civilizations at one of two levels: the micro-level. It is when adjacent groups along the fault lines between civilizations struggle violently, over the control of territory and each other. It is clear that North and South Korea fought a gruesome war, and allies of both countries were involved (Huntington 29). The death toll had reached over 54,000, and this is a clear example of how two neighboring civilizations with different ideologies can clash with each other (CNN). On the other hand, there is a macro-level,
