Remember, Johnny came from a terrible household. His parents either beat him, or ignored him. If Johnny became crippled, he wouldn't be able to come and go from that house as he pleased, which means he has to stay in that home where he was hated and unwanted.
Here is the excerpt from the novel:
"Even if Johnny did live he'd
be crippled and never play football or help us out in a rumble again. He'd have to stay in
that house he hated, where he wasn't wanted, and things could never be like they used to
be. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I said one word, the hard knot in my throat would
swell and I'd be crying in spite of myself." (Hinton, 87).

<em>The War of the Worlds</em> is a novel by H. G. Wells, first published in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine. It tells the story of the conflict between humans and a race of aliens. The novel uses the past tense.
On the other hand, the transcript of the radio broadcast uses the present tense. This is one of the reasons why the broadcast is so famous nowadays. An "urban myth" (as its veracity is disputed) says that when the broadcast aired on October 30, 1938 over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network, it caused panic among the listening audience, who thought the alien invasion was a piece of news.
