The radio broadcast features interviews with hurricanes victims. Why do you think Cheryl Corley includes these interviews instea
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

She brought the hurricane victims so the listeners would hear their stories from their perspective.

Explanation:

Cheryl Corley was aware that describing the experiences the victims of the hurricane had from a third person perspective would not accurately convey the horrors the victims experienced so she had to include the interviews of the victims themselves so listeners would better the experience from the first person perspective.

When a story is being narrated in the third person narrative, that is another person describing events from a detached view the emotions are not properly captured and the 0erson simply describes it the way he sees it or thinks it happened. It is not an accurate way of describing events.

When narrating an experience in the first person, the person describes it exactly how it happened to them and how they felt when it was happening and how they felt after the event. It is a description based on the descriptor's experience.
