The Others

I am currently reading a book called The 5th Wave, it is written by Rick Yancey and is full of interesting dialogue and code words.

 

The main codeword that they use is “the others,’’ which is code for the aliens that have invaded. They call the people they think are aliens, “infesteds,”  which makes perfect sense considering that normal people don’t light up like a green fireball when you look at them through an eyepiece. The infesteds are the aliens that use technology to make themselves look human. The aliens who don’t use technology are called ‘’silencers,” which also makes sense because they don’t show their face and kill you from a distance with a long range silenced gun with fingerprint recognition.

 

The last codeword they use isn’t used by the humans, it is used by the others. It is what they call their mothership, the one that is hovering above the Earth. It looks like a green ball of fire at the bottom of their mothership. To them, it is “the eye,” the people in the eye tells the aliens on Earth what to do and how to extinguish Earth’s people. They don’t call us humans, they call us, “creatures of flesh and bone,’’ which we are, we are all made of skin and bones. Well, and muscle, and blood, and organs, and cartilage but mainly skin and bone. They only use 2 code words and the rest they just say without fear. Us on the other hand, we don’t want to spook people and so we use code for things.

 

Those are all the codewords used in the book, The 5th Wave. I hope you learned something about the book from this. Now, if there ever is an alien invasion, (which I hope there is), you know what to call them. This book is about aliens coming from deep space and trying to get rid of life on Earth.
