Invasion from Mars is a radio broadcast that tells a story about a Martian invasion. In the conversation between Mr. Wilmuth and Carl Phillips, Mr. Wilmuth uses casual and informal language, like "listenin'" and "ain't." This adds to the overall feeling of his story by making it seem real, like an everyday conversation. If Mr. Wilmuth used more formal language, it might change how we interpret his narrative because it would sound made-up or less believable. For example, when Mr. Wilmuth describes the Martian cylinder landing, using formal words might not capture the excitement and urgency in his voice. So, his choice of language helps us feel the suspense and fear of the invasion.
