Reading Comprehension
What is the theme in the following story?
Alien Invasion
When aliens from the planet Mechanica invaded earth and captured some earthlings, the following conversation ensued.
“There’s no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”
“That’s impossible. Beings are machines.”
“They made the machines. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Meat made the machines.”
“That’s ridiculous. How can meat make a machine?”
“I don’t know but they did it. It’s surprising. People on Mechanica are all machines. It’s hard to believe people made of “human meat” can build machines.

After the hunter gatherers learned to farm and settled in the fertile crescent, agriculture was invented with people growing their own food. They organized themselves into communities they needed a steady supply of food and self-defense so the first government was formed. The earliest form of government was a monarchy. Monarchies are based on kings and queens ruling the population. Each monarch would gain power by inheriting the thrown from a mother or father. A monarch would be ruler for life. They made the laws for the people, organized armies for self-defense, and ensured a steady food supply for their subjects. Their power was absolute, meaning that they couldn’t be challenged.
New social orders were formed, based on education and power. The upper class, which was the aristocracy was based on land ownership and power passed down from one generation to the next. Farmers, artisans, craftspeople, and slaves made up the lower class.
As time passed, the monarchies became more complex. In ancient Mesopotamia a theocracy formed, meaning government based on religion. Kings believed their power was bestowed upon them. The pharaohs soon found governing by themselves too complicated so they built a bureaucracy to help rule. This happened in ancient China. When writing developed more people became educated and demanded a say in the governing process. In ancient Greece, around 700 BC, tyrants seized power, Tyrants were members of the lower class who seized power. They paid people to be in their armies. This led to government called oligarchies, government by small number of people.
The rule of the tyrants ended the monarchies and allowed more people to participate in the government. The Greek government also developed democracies, government by elected representatives, and that would become a model for later governments, most notably Rome that became a republic (government by elected individuals).
