Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the excerpt of lines 117-126 from the Invasion of Mars:

"This end of the thing is beginning to

flake off! The top is beginning to rotate like a screw! The thing

must be hollow!

Voices. She’s a movin’!

Look, the darn thing’s unscrewing

Keep back, there! Keep back, I tell you!

Maybe there’s men in it trying to escape!

It’s red hot, they’ll burn to a cinder!

Keep back there. Keep those idiots back!

[Suddenly the clanking sound of a huge piece of falling

metal.

Voices. She’s off! The top’s loose!

Look out there! Stand back!

Phillips. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most terrifying

thing I have ever witnessed."

Explanation:

From the excerpt above we notice a vivid description of the supposed sound of the "extraterrestrial" object from mars.

In other words, the main purpose of lines 117-126, is to create a thrilling feeling in the minds of the avid reader; making the object become real in the minds of the reader or hearer as the case may be.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
