Answer:
I believe the choice Welles makes that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it is happening live is:
D. He changes the verbs to present tense.
Explanation:
In 1938, future filmmaker Orson Welles broadcast a special Halloween episode on radio featuring an adaptation of the novel War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells. The novel narrates a fictional invasion on Earth by Martians.
<u>Welles made it seem as if the bits of the novel he was reading were actually news bulletins, interrupting the normal broadcast of music now and then with new details concerning an invasion. To make it sound more realistic, as if the events are happening live, he narrates them using the present tense. The excerpt below belongs to a transcription of the broadcast. Pay attention to the verbs:</u>
<em> Ladies and gentlemen, we</em><em> interrupt</em><em> our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News. At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, </em><em>reports
</em><em> observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope</em><em> indicates</em><em> the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity. Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's observation, and </em><em>describes</em><em> the phenomenon as "like a jet of blue flame shot from a gun".</em>
<u>By using the present tense, the narrator conveys a sense of immediacy, as if the events are taking place in real time.</u>
Answer:
All of the above.
Explanation:
Charlotte Bronte's classic "Jane Eyre" revolves around the story of a young girl named Jane Eyre, an orphan who suffered a lot during her childhood but became independent and found love and happiness in the end. The whole story deals with the theme of love, suffering, life's struggles, and the eventual happiness that comes.
The opening chapters of the novel present a young Jane living with her Aunt Reed and her children who treated her nothing more than a servant (<em>"you are less than a servant, for you do nothing for your keep"</em>) or a hindrance. She was asked to address her cousin John Reed as <em>"Master Reed</em>", was punished for whatever claims they can find and get, and locked up whenever she showed any form of resistance. She also stated <em>"I was a discord in Gateshead Hall: I was like nobody there"</em>, showing how unpleasant it was for her to be there and live under their care.
