    Aliens coming to earth is a topic constantly being used for books and movies, from the full out war for survival in Independence Day, to the cute aliens who didn’t mean any harm in Home. “Forget about flying saucers and little green men and giant mechanical spiders spitting out death rays. Forget about epic battles with tanks and fighter jets and the final victory of us scrappy, unbroken, intrepid humans over the bug-eyed swarm. That’s about as far from the truth as their dying planet was from our living one. The truth is, once they found us, we were toast. (page 2)” Rick Yancey uses this statement in his novel The 5th wave to create an original approach on an alien invasion.…

They are going to turn on The Bell for the last experiment.

Without any means of communication with the outside population they are unaware of the rules and regulations that have been placed by the invaders; they have raided many of the homes finding out who possessed a threat to them, or believed to own any type of weapon that they could use against them and isolating them into a re-education camp away from their family members. The wolverines begin to rely on each other through their struggle and begin tactics to stop the soviets from executing anymore civilians to try and discourage the wolverines from any further attempts of attacking them. These attempts are failed when they decide a new strategy to directly hunt the wolverines down; When one of the wolverines named Daryl wanders into town and is discovered he is then captured and threatened by the enemy to torture his family if he did not help them track down the rest of the wolverines, he is later discovered during an attempt to eliminate them by the foes, and is executed by his own for the betrayal. They are later attacked by the guerillas in a surprise air attack eliminating most of the group, Jed and Matt would go and directly attack the soviets as a diversion while the remanding two go in search of the free America across the mountains.…

    From personal experiences my definition of success has differed greatly from time to time. This is similar to how success of a gang member is dependent on where they currently happen to be in their lives.

Getting out of bed is quite an insignificant act on its own, but in that period of my life I was not able to function and this was considered to be quite successful. A gang member simply thinking about his life may not be a significant act on its own, but when he has…
