Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. DON

And [Les Goodman] never did come out to look at that thing that flew overhead. He wasn't even interested.

(he turns to the faces in the group, his face taut and serious.)

Why? Why didn't he come out with the rest of us to look?

CHARLIE

He always was an odd ball. Him and his whole family. Real odd ball.

What do Don’s words suggest about him?

Don is very fond of Les Goodman.
Don is an alien from outer space.
Don is suspicious of Les Goodman.
Don is a patient and thoughtful man.

With crack on crack of thunder, zeus let fly a bolt against the ship, a direct hit, so that she bucked, in reeking fumes of sulphur, and all the men were flung into the sea. they came up 'round the wreck, bobbing a while like petrels on the waves. no more seafaring homeward for these, no sweet day of return; the god had turned his face from them. –the odyssey, homer read the passage. then, identify the theme that is supported by the passage. most ships cannot survive a terrible thunderstorm. the ocean is an angry beast that will tame any who try to control it. the gods have the power to control human destiny. men are willing to die to eat the delicious cattle of the gods.
