Visualizing

Listening to War of the Worlds had a much greater impact on myself compared to just reading it. While I was listening, I could visualize everything happening like I was actually there. I did not seem to miss a detail in my mental image of the scene. When I was reading War of the Worlds, I was much more focused on the text and the scientific theory than what was actually happening. I could not create as clear of an image because the science, in my opinion, took away from the reality. I had to take a minute and step back to first analyze the science...then form my mental image. I enjoyed listening to it much more than I did reading it only because I did not feel that the science clouded the event. I felt as though I was right in the middle of the action. I felt confused, shocked, and curious. It was a much more realistic feeling.
