In the novel Pod by Stephen Wallenfels, the author tells the story of alien invasions through the eyes of our teenage main characters. The story is being told through the first person point of view and the audience gets first hand of Josh and Meg how he and she are feeling in the situation there in. In the first chapter “Static” our character Josh is just becoming aware of the “Screeching noise” that woke him from his sleep. The aliens are now taking a part in the environment and this will be a world problem for the humans.
Josh is not dreaming when he starts to see the acts committed by the aliens and their ship. Like humans do in other futuristic alien novels or movies; they panic. In the society our character lives in, society is at the normal expectations as the present day. Once the change of another species comes, the environment is suddenly altered “There’s a sphere spinning above the apartment building.”(p.14) Living with aliens has never been an option for humans. Josh although not aware of his situation yet is staying calm along with his dad and Jaime. The first chapter really goes into depth of describing the alien intervention and also does a good job of showing how Josh’s environment is being destroyed.
