A character’s experiences can shape their view of the world around them. The same is true of authors. Understanding an author’s background can help a reader infer themes in a text. Think about one issue from Wells’ time from the slideshow that you can connect with the novel. Then, create a cluster diagram or concept map that connects the historical issue with two or three details from the book. After looking at the connections, write a brief paragraph about how The First Men in the Moon alters history?
