Develop a clear thesis statement based on your comparison of the print version and the film. (You will base the presentation you create in the
next task on the same thesis statement.) Using your notes, find textual evidence that supports your thesis statement. In this case textual evidence
can include not only quotations from characters in either the play or movie, but also notes about the setting, stage directions, organization
characters, tone, and mood. Consider the following questions before you create the thesis statement:
• Which details of the setting or the characters' actions in the film version are not spelled out in the print version of the play?
• How does the depiction of the scene in the film compare with the print version?
• Which details are consistent with the text version?
• How well does the film version capture the tone and mood of the text version?
• Does the film adaptation reflect a sense of suspense or mystery?

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds. beyond the pit stood the little wedge of people with the white flag at its apex, arrested by these phenomena, a little knot of small vertical black shapes upon the black ground. as the green smoke arose, their faces flashed out pallid green, and faded again as it vanished. then slowly the hissing passed into a humming, into a long, loud, droning noise. slowly a humped shape rose out of the pit, and the ghost of a beam of light seemed to flicker out from it. forthwith flashes of actual flame, a bright glare leaping from one to another, sprang from the scattered group of men. it was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them and flashed into white flame. it was as if each man were suddenly and momentarily turned to fire. then, by the light of their own destruction, i saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run. which options accurately describe how the author develops the plot in the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction decreases the tension in the plot because the narrator is simply standing by. the narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction keeps the tension steadily increasing as the narrator comes to realize the men are being killed. the narrator is distracted by his own observations of the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he doesn't react as quickly as he should when the men are killed, thus extending the tension in the plot. the narrator is attentive to the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he immediately understands what has happened when the men are killed, increasing the tension in the plot.
