Read the following excerpt from the ending of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun:
WALTER (A beat. The tension hangs, then WALTER steps back from it) Yeah. Well - what I mean is
that we come from people who had a lot of pride. I mean - We are very proud people. And that's my
sister over there and she's going to be a doctor – and we are very proud
LINDNER Well - I am sure that is very nice, but -
WALTER What I am telling you is that we called you over here to tell you that we are very proud and
that this — (Signaling to TRAVIS) Travis, come here. (TRAVIS crosses and WALTER draws him before
him facing the man) This is my son, and he makes the sixth generation our family in this country. And
we have all thought about your offer —
LINDNER Well, good .. good —
WALTER And we have decided to move into our house because my father - my father – he earned it
for us brick by brick. (MAMA has her eyes closed and is rocking back and forth as though she were in
church, with her head nodding the Amen yes) We don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no
causes, and we will try to be good neighbors. And that's all we got to say about that. (He looks the man
absolutely in the eyes) We don't want your money. (He turns and walks away)
LINDNER (Looking around at all of them) I take it then — that you have decided to occupy . . .
BENEATHA That's what the man said.

Announcer two: ladies and gentlemen, following on the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the government meteorological bureau has requested the large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical watch on any further disturbances occurring on the planet mars. due to the unusual nature of this occurrence, we have arranged an interview with noted astronomer professor pierson, who will give us his views on the event. in a few moments we will take you to the princeton observatory at princeton, new jersey. we return you until then to the music of ramón raquello and his orchestra. the passage is from the transcript of the radio adaptation of the war of the worlds by h. g. wells. instead of including expert interviews, h. g. wells uses a narrator to tell about an alien invasion that occurred a few years earlier. by including expert interviews, how does the radio broadcast change the story most effectively? o. a. it puts the story in the past tense, increasing its personal tone. o o b. it makes the broadcast sound more like a fictional story. o o c. it makes the broadcast sound like a news report. o d. it makes the story sound less believable by changing who presents the story's details.
