Text to World: The 5th Wave

  The book The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey is about the apocalypse invasion. Cassie, the main character lost her family to it, from deceiving soldiers to the red death. Before it all, no one had been aware. No one could have cared. Until it struck. The first wave blacking out all electricity. The second, surf's up. The third, a deadly disease causing people to bleed out called the Red Death, or Pestilence. The fourth, the silencers come to wipe out anyone else who survived the third. And the fifth is coming, no one knowing of what is is, what to expect of it, and to trust no one.
  This story is similar to the Civil War because of how many deaths there were. Millions of the population was wiped from the Civil War, and in The 5th Wave, many people are killed, too.In the Civil War, people died because of fighting, and that could be close to this case. In the book, people are killed by the Others, but with unknown reasons. Although they are similar, in the Civil War people fought in war and for their rights and beliefs. In the story, people's lives are lost because intentional reasons of some sort.
  I wonder why the Others are attacking the human population, attempting to take as many lives as possible. Maybe to take over Earth? I don't know. The last people left are either just taking the Other's side in taking people, or they are building armies of some kind by training the last of humanity to fight back.
