Mathabane chooses to use mostly indirect dialogue in the beginning of the story and mostly direct dialogue at the end. what effect do his choices have on the pacing of the story? why do you think he makes these choices?

yes

explanation:

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters.   in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology.   abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
