Considering I am one of the listeners of the “War of the Worlds radio broadcast” during that time of the year 1938, perhaps I am one of his believers. Who would have not believed him with the fact that there is no other source of information that time? Especially when it was supported with a perfect (for me) background sound effect, I think everyone is going to believe him. The comments of the interviewees are also a factor to make us believe that what he is saying is true. Especially when they revealed to us what do the aliens look like, everyone were scared. I am also afraid because I am afraid to see the alien right in front of me. What if the aliens can eat human, maybe right at that time I am one of their victim already. Perhaps I met the alien, should I go run and hide myself or what if can’t move even a little of my body? But if I am home that time, after hearing his news, maybe I got myself busy packing my things for an evacuation or I am busy boring hole under my house so that I could hide myself there. After the policeman said that aliens can destroy everything and a part of America was now destroyed by them, maybe I have run to my altar, lit the candle and pray there for my protection and save me from the aliens. From the time I started listening to his news, I was not able to calm myself because of the scared feeling you have that the alien might attack you. I also might not be able to sleep for that night. I don’t know but I have to find a way to calm myself but who could calm themselves if you can always thought of the news that there is a Martian invasion of our planet. What will happen to our lives? Haul!!! Thank goodness, he finally revealed that what he was saying before is only a drama. If I was really there that time, I will be calmed now after I heard the truth.
Though he has revealed the truth there is a thought left in my mind that “What if the Martian invasion is real?”, then the worries in our minds and heart will grow ponder as we continue live our life with the aliens here on earth. Beside the fact that we have no other source of information but the radio, let us take also the reason we believed him is that there is no other radio station or his station is the famous so that most of us believed in the Martian invasion. But still I want to know his intentions in making us believe that Martian invasion has happened really. Is it just he wants to play trick to the people of America? Or just to see how people would react in that kind of news especially we have no other source for information? But whatever his reasons were thank you for the invention of radio. Because of radio invention, we now have a source for information and entertainment which is actually still patronize by the human kind.
