My book is called The War of the Worlds and it was written by H.G. Wells. This book is a novel and it is a combination of both of the books in this set. This books is about how Martians, who have more advanced technology, attack England. The literature in this book used by H.G.

For example, “There were sad, haggard women tramping by, well dressed, with children that cried and stumbled, their dainty clothes smothered in dust, their weary faces smeared with tears. ”(p. 88). This is an example of imagery. It is important in the story because it shows how this attack of the Martians has changed the way everything is in the society. Basically, H.G. Wells uses imagery to show the difference in the community caused by the attack. The third type of literature used by H.G. Wells is dialogue. For example, “The terrible heat ray was in my mind.

It is important because it shows the might of the martians, the advanced technology, and the inferior way to stay safe from the heat ray.

Wells uses dialogue to show the dominance of the Martians. In The War of the Worlds, H.G. Wells uses foreshadowing, dialogue, and imagery to pull the reader into a wonderful story. He uses foreshadow to create curiousness, he uses imagery to show the difference in the community because if the attack, and he uses dialogue to describe the dominance of the Martians. I recommend reading this book because it is a very detailed and literary
