@RobertHendric This is specific to your novel. Try to create a theme statement that can be used universally and that is not an observation.

@CoreyHelgeson1 to a stagnant and destructive society.

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

In Childhood's End, Clarke uses specific verbs to present a mood of desperation and hopelessness to show that a utopian society will lead...

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

@simskatiee Varied sentence length is a great way to show tension and conflict. The ideas are not flowing smoothly because of some problem.

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

Clarke uses an excess amount of exclamation points to show the authority and power of the invaders and this proves that knowledge=power.

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

@RyanRichman51 The risks the workers had to take are incredible! Elaborate on how slippery represents the immense pressure the workers felt.

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

@D_Elmz_Eng_Clas Yes. The author is portraying humans as superficial but not productive or helpful compared to the invaders.

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

The human race is described as picturesque which shows they are visually attractive but are not useful or productive compared to the aliens.

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

In Childhood's End, the Secretary General is described as "motionless" to show his disbelief and amazement of the aliens that have arrived.

@D_Elmz_Eng_Clas Forlornly is an interesting word choice! Why do you think the fighter pilot feel's pity for the soldier?

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

@D_Elmz_Eng_Clas I agree nurture is more important. The monster is born with compassionate nature but deals with a lack of nurture.

[Corey Helgeson @CoreyHelgeson1]

Shelley shows that there is a contrast between monster and man in society. The compsssionate creature is not accepted by anyone in society.
