War of the Worlds

Personally, I think the radio version of War of the World was hard to follow at some points but overall had a much more intense effect on the audience. While reading the story there is much confusion about whether or not the events are really taking place, and there is much more room for interpretation. However while listening to the radio, the audience is captivated by the reactions of the broadcast. It adds so much emotion to the story, and I think that if I were hearing it on the radio for the first time, I would definitely believe that it was really happening.

    I agree with Emma. I personally though that the radio broadcast allowed the audience to individually react to the events taking place. This was a direct effect, unlike the text. I though the text displayed confusion for the audience; this confusion allowed a delayed reaction. The delayed reaction was due to, as Emma mentioned, whether the events were actually happening or not.

    I agree with you, Emma. I was very confused throughout some of the broadcast, but it still made a big impact on people around the world. I also think that if I heard that on the radio, I would believe it too.

    I believe that if I were to listen to this broadcast I would have believed that it were really happening as well. I think it is interesting how Emma put herself in the situation to see how she would have reacted. This made me do the same thing and therefore led me to realize how great of an impact the radio broadcast really had when compared to text.

    I agree with emma that the radio version did get me off tract sometimes, but overall it was way more effective then the actually written copy. Hearing the reaction and the noises made it sound more really that i would most likely fall for it too.

    I also agree with Emma, the radio edition was more effective although the written version had of interest the radio broadcast gave much more exposure to the story. The sound effects gave much more attraction to the story and kept the listener interested.
