On October 30, 1938, Americans tuned in to an adapted broadcast of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds. The broadcast, which announced a Martian invasion of New Jersey, quickly gained popularity due to reports of widespread panic as many Americans believed the country was being invaded by aliens. How would such a report be different if the aliens are the ones telling the story? For this journal entry, place yourself in the position of the Selenites and write a newscast reporting on the arrival of Mr. Bedford and Mr. Cavor on the moon. Include relevant details from the text in your newscast.

Answer:

Well, the point of view would be reversed. rather than to us "there invading!"

"They are monsters!" it would be "we are pioneers!" "We won!"

Step-by-step explanation:

to the aliens, they'd appear as heroes. to us, they look like monsters.

so just write on those topics. from a standpoint similar to when Americans split from the British and colonized America. The natives were like us today, and we were like aliens. hope this cleared up the question.
