read the following passage
from "the war of the worlds," by h. g. wells.
no one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this
world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's
and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various
concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man
with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply
in a drop of water. with infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe
about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. it is
possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. no one gave a
thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of
them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. it is
curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. at most
terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon mars, perhaps inferior to
themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. yet across the gulf of
space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish,
intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes,
and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. and early in the twentieth
century came the great disillusionment.

D. Unemotional

Explanation:

Although the statements the narrator is making may evoke emotions within the reader and make them feel as if human race were in danger as they may realize that they are being watched by "minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic", and who represent a threat to human's society as they " regarded this earth with envious eyes", the narrator expresses the idea in a very neutral and unemotional way. There is no sign in the text that he or she is angry, panicked nor mysterious (he or she is giving many details).

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
