This shows how there will always be skeptics and critics however much proof one presents. ]]> 2022-02-03 20:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2028305051 Window - The Time Machine ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2028492396 In the future, the Time Traveler meets human-like fragile creatures who are all naive as children. When trying to explain where he came from, one of them repeats his gesturing and then makes the sound of thunder. They do not understand, just like babies who always make baby sounds and do not understand normal speech. This shows how difficult it could be to talk to people of other languages. ]]> 2022-02-03 22:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2028492396 "I felt naked in a strange world.

This is a personification, as the statue of the sphinx cannot have emotions. The narrator says that it seemed to mock him, which is a mostly human trait.
Why is it effective and why did the author include it? What understanding do you gain?
It shows the reader how despaired the Time Traveler was at losing his Time Machine.]]> 2022-02-06 17:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2031650752 ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2031665578 2022-02-06 17:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2031665578 "It appears incredible to me that any kind of trick, however subtly conceived and however adroitly done, could have been played upon us under these conditions." (The Time Machine, pg. 10) ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2033834541 Denotation: unnoticeable
Connotation: deceptive, cunning
What mood is shown? Positive/negative?
Negative, because tricking someone into thinking Time Travel is possible may as well be fraud.
Why did the author use this?
The author used this to show that there is no chance of the demonstration of Time Travel being faked. ]]> 2022-02-07 18:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2033834541 Brother, unnamed man (The War of the Worlds, pg. 121) ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2033835830 What is happening here?
The unnamed man and the narrator's brother have a conversation concerning the Martians.
What does the reader learn?
The reader learns how EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is this important to the plot? (does it reveal personalities, feelings, thoughts, or motives?)
This shows the reader how ignorant the populace is about the Martians with the unnamed man still thinking the Martians couldn't leave their crater. ]]> 2022-02-07 18:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2033835830 Window - The Time Machine ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2038146177 After exploring the land of the future, the Time Traveler returns to his Time Machine. However, it is gone, and he realizes that he is stuck in the future. This shows how things can always go wrong, and that it is best to prepare for the worst.]]> 2022-02-09 15:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2038146177 Window - The Time Machine ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2038175492 Exploring one of the wells for his Time Machine lands the Time Traveler in an underground system of tunnels. He suddenly sees a pair of eyes glowing at him, and thus he lights a match to see it better; however, it runs away blindly. Soon after, he is attacked by the creatures, but he uses some matches to scare them away. He realizes he has few matches left due to him entertaining the surface world people, and he almost dies to the Morlocks before escaping by the well. This shows how things can always go wrong. ]]> 2022-02-09 15:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2038175492 "...human affairs were being watched keenly and closely..."

Connotation: stalking, stealthily
What mood is shown? Positive/negative?
The mood is very negative, as the Martians had been stalking humanity for a long time to see what we were up to and what our resources were like due to them running out of their own.
Why did the author use this?
The author used this to give the reader an idea of how ignorant humanity was in the novel and how scheming the Martians were. ]]> 2022-02-09 22:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2039011977 "...that big area of common was silent and desolate."

What does the reader learn?
The reader learns what has occurred and is introduced to a new character.
Is this important to the plot? (does it reveal personalities, feelings, thoughts, or motives?)
The soldier is completely despaired because of the efficiency of killing by the Martians. The dialogue also reveals some of the Martians' motives. This is the first battle of many to come through the novel. ]]> 2022-02-11 22:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2043230459 Ogilvy (The War of the Worlds, pg. 17) ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2043230547 What is happening here?
Earlier, it is mentioned that several flashes are observed expelling gas and dust from Mars. One of the "Things" launched from Mars has reached Earth, and Ogilvy notices that it is a cylinder and is unscrewing.
What does the reader learn?
The reader learns what the flashes on Mars were, but still does not know what is within the cylinder or why it is unscrewing.
Is this important to the plot? (does it reveal personalities, feelings, thoughts, or motives?)

It is also shown how quickly he thinks, as it does not take him long to associate the cylinder with the flashes on Mars.]]> 2022-02-11 22:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2043230547 Ogilvy, Henderson (The War of the Worlds, pg. 18) ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2046999623 What is happening here?
Ogilvy has found the Thing in the crater and is telling his friend Henderson to come and see the Thing for himself.
What does the reader learn?
The reader learns what Ogilvy is doing, namely calling his friends to come look at the cylinder. It is also mentioned earlier that his friend Henderson is a journalist. 
Is this important to the plot? (does it reveal personalities, feelings, thoughts, or motives?)
This reveals how eager Ogilvy is to spread the word about the men from mars. His friend Henderson, being a journalist, would likely write something about it in the news or message the news, spreading the word. This leads almost the entire town to the crater, being interested as to the "men from mars." It also reveals how curious everyone is about the Thing.]]> 2022-02-14 18:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2046999623 "...brought his heart into his mouth."

(The War of the Worlds, pg. 150) ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2052199542 Denotation: walk slowly and with difficulty
Connotation: implies the narrator's brother is exhausted and likely hungry and thirsty

What mood is shown? Positive/negative?
Negative, as the reader understands that Terry's dad is terrified of something.

However, the reader is not given any further information, which creates a feeling of mystery.]]> 2022-03-01 18:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2072019711 ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2072023340 When Terry's father's eyes "go away," this means that he does not see his surroundings and "goes back" to some event. These sudden recollections of this event suggest some disturbing event.]]> 2022-03-01 18:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2072023340 ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2072050052 A theme found throughout the story is keeping secrets, as pretty much nobody else knows about what causes Terry's father's eyes to go away. At the end, Terry asks him about what happened in Vietnam, and his father lets all of it out. This may allow Terry to help his father slowly recover, be it himself or calling someone to help. "‘But there had to be something,’ Terry persisted. ‘Someting made him like that. Not just Vietnam. Billy’s father was there, and he doesn’t act that way.’ ‘That’s enough questions,’ his mother saidsternly. ‘He doesn’t talk about it, and I don’t ask. Neither will you. Do you understand?’" This shows that either Terry's mother does not know what happened either or that she also is in on it.]]> 2022-03-01 18:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2072050052 3/17 / School / ??? ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2100646223 Minutes: 30

However, Passepartout notices that the day they got back was actually a day before the deadline, as they had crossed the International Date Line. Fogg quickly rushes to his friends and makes it just in time, just barely securing the bet. This shows further that betting is incredibly risky. ]]> 2022-04-01 20:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2126017113 "Phileas Fogg, like a racehorse, was drawing near his last turning-point."

Effectiveness and author's reason: it shows how everyone was incredibly excited as to if Fogg was going to make it or not in the last stretch, just like betters on a horse. ]]> 2022-04-01 20:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2126023887 "...revived their interest, as if by magic..."

Connotation: implies that it is surprising and unexpected that this has happened and is very sudden
Positive/negative mood: positive, as it describes the interest in Fogg's journey around the world suddenly flaring back up.
Author's reason: this helps to show how suddenly and unexpected it has happened]]> 2022-04-01 21:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2126026856 #5 - Around the World in Eighty Days ethanliu63 https://padlet.com/ethanliu63/wjdd8xm07zlbxuuu/wish/2126030092 Jules Verne has created suspense by making events that hinder Fogg's progress, making the reader think they will not get back on time. For example, the final part of the voyage is crossing the Atlantic Ocean, but the ship runs out of coal. They find a solution in the wood of the ship, with Fogg buying the boat from the owner and burning the wood instead.

At the point of this scene, 4 people of 10 have died in accordance with the first 4 lines of the rhyme "Ten Little Soldiers." Marston is poisoned with cyanide via his drink, making it seem like he "choked his little self." Mrs. Rogers is killed in her sleep with some sort of poison, as if she "overslept." MacArthur is killed with a blow to the head when he stays outside of the house, and most recently, Mr. Rogers is hit with an axe while chopping firewood. 

The scene of interest is at breakfast the morning after. The remaining 6 people are excessively polite to each other, but actually in complete panic and turmoil. Examples of each can be found from these two pieces of text evidence. An unspecified character says, "May I get you some more coffee, Miss Brent?" However, another unspecified character thinks, "It’s crazy - every thing’s crazy. I’m going crazy. Wool disappearing - red silk curtains - it doesn’t make sense. I can’t get the hang of it..."

Phillip Lombard's revolver is missing, and Dr. Armstrong had a hypodermic syringe which was the murder weapon (alongside cyanide) for Ms. Brent. This, among other things, leads everyone to suspect the others, and leads them all to sit nervously, watching everyone else. The suspicion and terror of being next to die is shown by their thoughts. An unspecified character thinks “It’s Armstrong... I saw him looking at me sideways just then... his eyes are mad... quite mad... Perhaps he isn’t a doctor at all... That’s it, of course!... He’s a lunatic, escaped from some doctor’s house - pretending to be a doctor..."

"'No, I won’t. That revolver’s mine. I need it to defend myself - and I’m going to keep it.' 
Blore said: 'In that case we’re bound to come to one conclusion.' 
'That I’m U.N. Owen? Think what you damned well please. But I’ll ask you, if that’s so, why I didn’t pot you with the revolver last night? I could have, about twenty times over.' 
Blore shook his head. He said: 'I don’t know - and that’s a fact. You must have had some reason.'"
This, and the fact that Vera suspects that Armstrong may have just faked his death to fool them, shows how the conflict affects the characters, in the way of them becoming paranoid and imagining all the possible ways things have happened.

“They managed it, however, drawing the body [of Armstrong] clear of the high water mark. 
Lombard said as he straightened up: 'Satisfied?'

Her tone warned him. He spun around. Even as he clapped his hand to his pocket he knew that he would find it empty.

Throughout the story, Vera has been shown to have some sort of dark past involving a drowning, a child named Cyril, and her lover, Hugo.
