What evidence from the radio broadcast War of the Worlds supports the theme that human vanity can cause problems?
A. 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. There, I can see the thing's body. It's large, large
as a bear and it glistens like wet leather
B. PIERSON: I can give you no authoritative information - either as
to their nature, theil grigin, or their purposes here on earth of their
destructive instruht I might venture some conjectural
explanation. For want of a better term, I shall refer to the
mysterious weapon as a heat ray.
C. PHILLIPS. Then you're quite convinced as a scientist that living
intelligence as we know it does not exist on Mars?
PIERSON: I'd say the chances against it are a thousand to one.
D. PHILLIPS: Can you tell us the meaning of that scraping noise
inside the thing?
PIERSON: Possibly the unequal cooling of its surface.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
