Answer:
War of the Worlds played with the fear of the known, like the war and invasion, and the unknown, like the things that come to Earth. One of the messages that you can collect from it is "what "our" people will think is they were invaded like our people invaded other communities/civilizations?"
The fear of the people to this story is clearly shown after the panic and hysteria that a radio play caused in 1938 between their listeners.
by Max Eastman
Serene the silver fishes glide,
Stern-lipped, and pale, and wonder-eyed!
As through the aged deeps of ocean,
They glide with wan and wavy motion.
They have no pathway where they go,
They flow like water to and fro,
They watch with never-winking eyes,
They watch with staring, cold surprise,
The level people in the air,
The people peering, peering there:
Who wander also to and fro,
And know not why or where they go,
Yet have a wonder in their eyes,
Sometimes a pale and cold surprise.

Answer:
The best answer to your question: One theme of the poem is:___, would be B: people and animals are not so different after all.
Explanation:
"At the Aquarium" is short poem that was written by American poet and philosopher Max Eastman and which was later on published in the Modern American Poetry in 1919.
Although the poem may have other themes, one that really comes to the forefront of the whole thing is the comparisson that arises, or rather the similarity that arises, between the fish in the aquarium, who are being stared at by people, and the people themselves, whose activities seem to be no different, their actions and reactions also, to those of the fish. For example, at first the speaker tells us that the fish "they watch with staring, cold surprise..." then, the poet also says about people: " Yet have a wonder in their eyes, Sometimes a pale and cold surprise." Another similarity that appears in the poem and that shows that people and animals are not so different after all is when both species are said to be wondering around, without a clear path, or without knowing where they are going; only that both are moving back and forth, both in a "to and fro" motion.
