My assignment is about the book/movie war of the worlds and two of the questions are: In the first paragraph, the narrator stares toward the Martians, but cannot see them because they are hidden by a mound. What effect does the author create by having the aliens hidden?

How do the other spectators respond to the new arrivals? Refer to paragraphs 3—4 to support your response.

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
