Tone
I believe the tone is expressed more clearly when listening to the audio of War of the Worlds. When reading this broadcast I felt myself not recognizing the importance and the impact this had on the people. The fright and significance was expressed clearer to me when listening to the broadcast. The tone in the voices and the different sounds made it more intriguing and interesting to listen to. I was able to stay focused and pay attention to what was going on, unlike the reading which caused me to zone out. I enjoyed listening to this broadcast and would love if we were able to recreate an event like this at Sem. The reactions of the students and teachers would be very funny and interesting, if we were able to pull it off!

I definitely agree that the two pieces have a much different tone. While the radio broadcast comes off as alarming and urgent, the text seems almost calm and purely informative. The author of the text seems really emotionally detached from his story, where in the broadcast the narrator is a part of the story and very much affected by it.
