Consider these versions of the war of the worlds.
excerpt 1, from h. g. wells's novel the war of the worlds:
i think everyone expected to see a man emergeā€”possibly something a little unlike us terrestrial men, but in all essentials a man. i know i did. but, looking, i presently saw something stirring within the shadow: greyish billowy movements, one above another, and then two luminous disksā€”like eyes. then something resembling a little grey snake, about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the writhing middle, and wriggled in the air towards meā€”and then another.
excerpt 2, from howard e. koch's script for orson welles's radio adaptation:
phillips: ladies and gentlemen, this is the most terrifying thing i have ever witnessed . . wait a minute! someone's crawling out of the hollow top. someone or . . something. i can see peering out of that black hole two luminous disks . . are they eyes? it might be a face. it might be . .
(shout of awe from the crowd)
phillips: good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake. now it's another one, and another. they look like tentacles to me.
which statement best describes the difference between these versions?
a. the radio adaptation shares more factual information than the novel.
b. the radio adaptation shares more humorous insight than the novel.
c. the radio adaptation is more frenzied than the novel.
d. the radio adaptation is more cheerful than the novel.

Read the excerpt from elie wieselĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their Ć¢ā‚¬Å›productionĆ¢ā‚¬Å„? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was Ć¢ā‚¬Å›processingĆ¢ā‚¬Å„ ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single nightĆ¢ā‚¬ā€or even for just a few hoursĆ¢ā‚¬ā€would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.

()activityconstruct an argument about a topic, theme, or idea that you read about in william shakespeare's romeo and juliet, act ii or act iii. make sure you create a central claim for your argument that is debatable. provide textual evidence from the play to support your argument.my analysis juliet shows maturity by putting their needs before hers. after juliet has arranged her 'death' with friar lawrence, she is an emotionally awoken woman who will do anything to be with the one she loves. "and i will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love". juliet faces her fears and trusts in god and friar lawrence. she is forced to use trickery in order to stay true to dear romeo. this showed remarkable courage. before she takes the potion she uses a soliloquy that confronts all her fears. she speaks in blank verse showing the seriousness of the situation. when juliet awakes to see a lifeless romeo lying beside her, juliet's maturity and loyalty takes over and she takes the decision to choose eternity over the present. the quotation "then i'll be brief. o happy dagger! this is my sheath; there rust, and let me die." shows the quickness and determination of juliet's death. during the period of a few days juliet matures into a committed and reliable woman and wife, capable of taking decisions without the of others. shakespeare shows this by clearly stating the different stages that happen and by making everything occur in a short period of time.part cwrite a 300-word essay arguing the thesis of your analysis.
