This is demonstrated when "There are weapons that are simply thoughts... to be found in the minds of men(683)". The thoughts kept within form what they fear; the monster. That is why their thoughts are their weapons; when their gone, it only leaves a monster.

Rod Sterling says that "there are weapons that are simply thoughts"(683) because your mind will believe whatever it wants and it could end up hurting you and others in the end. The author included this metaphor to help us understand that your imagination can control your actions in bad ways.

The mind is not only an object used for personal thinking, but can also be "weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, [and] prejudices"(Sterling 683). Something so underestimated, yet so powerful can negatively alter one's thoughts as well as actions. Just by pointing a finger can begin something that could change what happens next, or who is gone first.

The residents of Maple Street become victims of this when "[t]here are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be only found in the minds of men" (683) as the narrator states. The only monsters they need to fear are themselves as they are fully controlled by their minds, and what they think. When th

Rod Serling says weapons aren't "...bombs, explosions, and fallout.." it's  people themselves and they find "..the most dangerous enemy.."  However, the true monster is their consciousness and the ammunition fear gives them.  In the end the fear causes so much peril that the residents are no longer in control,  leading them to destroy themselves.

The people on Maple Street "pick the most dangerous enemy they can find" (Serling page 683).

# data[].attributes.body
Maple Street residents destroy themselves when "They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find...and it's themselves"(Serling, page 683). The residents on Maple Street destroy each other using their fear. They continuously blame each other, and the resident's minds control themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
The narrator states that "There are weapons that are simply thoughts" (Serling pg. 683). In other words, the mind can hurt and destroy when it takes over the body. This is exactly what happens in Maple Street; everyone starts blaming, attacking, even killing one another because of what they think and not what they know.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans have their own" ...weapons that simply can be thoughts, attitudes and prejudices..." (pg 68) that weapon is the mind. The mind is a powerful thing, and can be convincing especially on Maple Street. There is always a mastermind behind a plot of anything, a movie, book, crime or plan. But on Maple Street, instead of creating, the residents were using their weapon against themselves causing chaos and panic.

# data[].attributes.body
"They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find" (Sterling 683) When mind over matter takes over and all of the residents on Maple Street think they have found the monster as they blame their neighbors. What the really don't know is that their minds are weapons they can never escape and that none of there suspicions are right, all they need to do to find the real monster is look in the mirror.

# data[].attributes.body
The author states, "And all we need to do is sit back...and watch" (Serling 683). The unidentified figures' plan all along was to have the neighbors of Maple Street destroy themselves. It was very easy for the figures to do this; all they did was supposedly turn off all electricity, and watch Maple Street fall to pieces.

This can be proven when the narrator states "The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout."

# data[].attributes.body
When Serling says,"prejudices can kill and suspicions can destroy"(Serling 683)fear and suspicion can destroy all streets. Guns may seem stronger, but the human mind can destroy more than a gun can. The people of Maple Street were afraid of what monster could jump out soon and potentially kill them, but it had already jumped out.

The weapons of men, that are stated in the teleplay, are not always the actions of man but " the simple thoughts, attitudes, and prejudice" of the residents that can tear people apart.(Serling pg. 683) Inspite of the relations of the neighbors, the "simple" thought of aliens can make them have suspicion and "prejudice" towards people. Suspicion can control their body and use it to manipulate the minds of Maple Street.

# data[].attributes.body
When Serling says, "There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be found only in the minds of men." (Serling 683-684)
Commentary #1 and #2
1. The real weapon is their mind and the actions of fear they take from what was happening on Maple Street.
2. The residents were worrying about the chaos on Maple Street, but they should have worried about their thought and what their though of fear could have lead to.

# data[].attributes.body
Concrete Detail #1
"They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find... and it's themselves."(Serling 683).  Fear and suspicion have this vigorous grip on the residents of Maple Street. Which causes them all to lose their place in control of their bodies.

Concrete Detail #2
"[l]et them destroy themselves." (Serling 683). Fear is the main culprit once again on Maple Street It forces suspicion on one another, creating a universal distrust.

"The tools of conquest don't necessarily come with bombs, explosions, and fallout...the most dangerous...weapon that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices --- to be found only in the minds of men," (Serling pg. 683-684.)

Commentary #1 and #2
Even though there is no actual weapon that can hurt them, the true weapon is their mind and what holds within it.

The people on Maple Street were worrying about what is out there in the dark, when they should've worried about what they are capable of doing to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
"There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices" (Serling 683)  as concluded by the Narrator, is a very important and crucial statement, because weapons can come in all shapes and sizes, physically or mentally. The residents of Maple Street, were torn apart by merely their prejudices, afraid to take the problem head on.

# data[].attributes.body
When the  Narrator states," There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices," (Serling,683). These "weapons" cause fear, destruction and paranoia. All of the neighbors on Maple Street are "firing their weapons" at each other in hopes of hitting someone, or, finding the answer to their fears.

# data[].attributes.body
When the narrator states  "There are weapons that are simply thoughts attitudes, attitudes, prejudices"(Serling pg 663 ), these "weapons" eventually lead to the verbal war on maple street. Any verbal attack is almost as hurtful as a physical attack, this is what maple street's residents don't realize. These verbal attacks then lead to a physical battle with gunshots instead of insults or blame.

# data[].attributes.body
We are given an example of this when the Narrator says "There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices." (Serling page 683) As the fear started to spread on Maple Street, the residents started to use these weapons. No one wanted to trust a living soul besides their own.

# data[].attributes.body
This idea was given to us by the narrator with, "There are weapons that are simply thoughts, actions, prejudices -- to be found only in the minds of men." (Serling pg. 683) This quotes shows how easily minds can be manipulated. It also can show who the true monster is. This concept can be easier to see when figure one states, "They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find...and it's themselves."(Serling pg. 6) This quote can show that th

The alien states," They pick the most dangerous enemy that they can find... and its themselves. All we need to do is sit back and watch" ( Sterling 683). The residents on Maple Street do not want to be seen as the "alien" so they point their finger at the person who is the easiest target so they can be out of the picture, or not one of the suspects.

# data[].attributes.body
The Narrator states,"There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices--" all of the residents of Maple Street have these weapons. Once fear struck the neighbors of Maple Street, they became threats to each other.

# data[].attributes.body
The weapons that are most dangerous in the world today "are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices" (683) , which is found in everyone's controller, the mind. The neighbors on Maple Street don't know that the true weapons are made from their minds. They don't know that it's not up to the armies and wars to destroy the world, it's up to their own thoughts, attitudes and prejudices.

# data[].attributes.body
When Serling says "Prejudices can kill and suspicions can destroy"(Serling 683)you can see that on maple street their mind is the real enemy . The mind is our worst enemy because it can make us kill and destroy things that we didn't mean to destroy. Another way you can see that the mind is our worst enemy

# data[].attributes.body
This idea that the mind can be one of the most important enemies is when The Monsters are Due on Maple Street states,"They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find...and it's themselves"(Sterling). When the mind takes over they did things they would never do to try and save themselves from a danger that is really just in their head. They go looking for the most dangerous people and their mind tells them that it is on of them so they turn on their neighbors and caused total anarchy.

# data[].attributes.body
As Figure one has said" They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find... and it's themselves. All we need to do is sit back... and let them destroy themselves"(683).This translates into that the mind can easily be insecure with fear of the unknown. Another text evidence was said by the narrator stating," The tools of conquest do not necessarily come from bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be only found in the minds of men"(683). This can be that the mind can be as deadly as bombs, explosions, and fallout. This devoured Maple Street to its own eradication.

# data[].attributes.body
When the Narrator says, "The tool of conquest isn't fallout." (Serling 683), he means that there is no solution in blaming others.  He is vocalizing the fact that it is hard to not let your mind get the best of you. He is also reporting that the reader should assume that this is exactly what happened to Maple Street.

Their world is full of Maple Streets. And we'll go from one to the other and let them destroy themselves.

Narrator: The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own...
