Question

1. In the radio broadcast War of the Worlds, reporter Carl Phillips interviews Mr. Wilmuth, the owner of the farm where the Martians landed. Each of the two characters uses a different type of language to express himself. One uses formal language and one uses informal language. Analyze the language of this interview and determine which character's language is formal and which is informal. Cite specific evidence to support your claim. Then, explain how the writer's use of both types of language in the same portion of the radio play impacts the meaning of this scene. (15 points)
Who are the main chacters

Answer 1

The formal language that Orson Welles used in the "prank" radio broadcast drama about the Earth being taken over by Martians can be seen in the following quotes:

There are aliens dropping from space and many people are running and there is a great cloud of smoke that is emitted by the giant Martian "war machines" and "dropping like flies". [abriged]

What is Formal Language?

This refers to the type of language that is used to communicate to people in an official manner.

Hence, we can see that the "prank" radio broadcast drama about the Earth being taken over by Martians was actually an adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds (1898).

This led to widespread panic by many listeners who did not know that this was, in fact, a drama adaptation being re-enacted on the radio.
