I don't understand what this is asking for:
-Use the thoughts you recorded in your notes to write a topic sentence for a paragraph analyzing Chapter 4, "The Cylinder Opens” from War of the Worlds. You will only write the topic sentence.
-Based on this chapter, what might be the author’s message or theme?
This is half of another assessment, & I don't know what the theme is of the story .-.
