Why did orson welles read the radio broadcast war of the worlds as if it were happening right that moment, rather than just reading the novel as it was written?

In 1938, the radio was the main means of mass communication. People kept their radios on to have access to news and entertainment, including music and soap operas.

Welles' program on radio did not have such a large popularity as people believed for many years. Apparently, at the same time it was broadcasted, listeners would tune in to another show, a comedy one, on a different station. Welles, who did not lack creativity, might have chosen to broadcast War of the Worlds as a news report in order to create sensation and excitement. Perhaps, it was a way to draw listeners' attention to his show.

For decades the broadcast was believed to have caused panic among people. But, currently, it is said that such panic was not real precisely because of the small number of listeners.

what are the excerpts?

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
