The War of the Worlds
48Watch it awake.
Martians burn the towns, and the empire meets conquest in its own fields.
The review
Don't linger on the burning. Wells lands Martians in England, the towns burn, and a narrator walks through the wreck. The colder point is the one that isn't a show. An empire that conquered other peoples is conquered in its own fields. That's the sentence I kept.
A teen can read it. I was too worn out for a rally, and the book didn't offer one. Leave the 1953 film and the radio play alone. Talk about the walk, and about who had been doing the conquering before anyone came down.

The glance
Industry and Household and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Heidi
64 instead of 48
Heidi is still a novel film, and it scores 64 instead of 48. What you gain is household: A girl left with her grandfather thaws him, and that bond is the life.
