The broadcast of War of the Worlds took place quite some time ago. But even today people wonder whether it was real or not. I know at first I thought it was real, but towards the end I found out it was just a dramatization. After listening to it, we had a few questions we needed to answer. The answers to the questions are below. People everywhere were freaking out. They were in a state of panic. People loaded blankets and supplies into their cars and prepared to leave. Others hid in basements and cellars hoping the poisonous gas would blow on them. Another person in New England reportedly loaded her children and a bag of bread into her car, thinking that "If everything is burning, you can't eat the money, but you can eat the bread." But what made him believe it was real? Well, many listeners tuned in late and did not hear the announcement made at the beginning of the broadcast that it was just a dramatization. Furthermore, the global situation of 1938 provided a context that allowed many people to believe that such a series of events could actually happen. Tensions in Europe were rising and it was common for radio broadcasts to be interrupted by journalists broadcasting threatening news from Europe. Many panicked people later explained that they had thought the “Martian invasion” was a cleverly disguised German attack. Most of the panicked people were middle-aged or elderly. Younger listeners tended not to panic because they recognized Orson Welles' voice as the voice of the hero of the popular radio series The Shadow. This is not something that could only happen in the 1930s. However, we have better technology that makes it easier to spread things to everyone, something like this could still happen. Although this… middle of paper… on Earth” or something like that. After hearing this, I calmed down because if it had happened so long ago how would I be alive now if he was the last person on Earth? Then he finally said, once again, that it was just a dramatization of the book War of the Worlds. First of all, if someone told me how a movie ends, I would slap them. I don't like spoilers. But still, of course I would still go see the movie! Even though I know how it ends, it's still nice to go and see it. You could understand how the movie ended the way it ended. If it was a book I read that was made into a movie, I would still go see it out of excitement that a book I read was made into a movie. Even though I already know what happens. In conclusion, the show War of the Worlds made people think that the world was actually ending even though the whole thing was a dramatization.
