Which do you find more dramatic? The television interview wherein John revealed to the world that the inspiration behind his design came from the terrorist attack? Or the radio interview wherein Pete contradicted his previous statements and claimed that he is the original and real designer of the new Zenith building?

Also, which interview did you like reading more?

I feel like, for the overall impact, the television interview was the most dramatic. The way John worded everything made him seem like he was sympathetic to the terrorists. I personally liked reading the radio interview more because I felt that John finally realized he was on his own. It felt like the most significant character development for John.

I think the TV interview was more dramatic and revealing. Even readers were under darkness as to what really inspired Mr. Gowan to creat a masterpiece like that untill he finally spoke on TV. Plus, the heated argument between Mr Wilkinson and the Imam was too intense.

I think interview in TV can be much more dramatic because the way John doing that interview was really astonishing. Furthermore john was looking down toward the terrorist in it.

I personally enjoyed the radio interview more. The drama came from John realizing he is truly on his own and that can be tough. It serves for his character development.

I really didn’t like reading either one of them. As for which one was more dramatic I can’t really pick. The radio interview had more outright lies (which were pioneered by Zenith), but the television interview was more thought-provoking (John’s words had to be considered thoroughly).

I think it would be the TV interview that was the most dramatic. Terrorist attacks will always be a sensitive topic.

The television interview was certainly more dramatic. The way John delievered his comments regarding the terrorist attacks was quite astounding. I enjoyed reading the tv interview more.

I think the Tv interview with John was more dramatic and better than the radio interview. This is mainly because I didn't like the radio one because it seemed to lean toward Zenith's angle, which was based on lies. Even though John seemed too eager or even hopeful for the terrorists attack angle, I think it was the better interview.

Definitely the television interview. John came to his realization in the middle of the interview and tried to vocalize it, though he did so in a way that was misinterpreted due to his delivery. This really was the beginning of the end for John's tenuous hold on his career.

The TV interview was more dramatic as John verbalised what he wanted to say in such a way that it was misunderstood. It made me question what John's feelings were towards the terrorists as well as his overall thought process.

I think the television interview was more dramatic. The way John expressed himself simply made it feel like he empathized with the terrorists; which even for one as a reader is a sensitive and controversial subject.

I thought the TV interview was more dramatic. I suspected something bad or embarrassing would happen to John during the interview, but I was still surprised by what he said. By the time the radio interview happened, John had a better sense of what he was walking into and I enjoyed this interview more.

I found the Television interview more dramatic. John's statements were so controversial that I found myself why he would almost feel compassionate towards the terrorists. I found John's manner of expression fully presented because he was able to state his views as he wanted, before leaving the audience (readers) to draw their own conclusions.

I like your comment because it goes directly against my experience, which is that I enjoyed reading those two interviews. I agree with you that the tv interview is more thought-provoking because this is when John revealed that he was inspired by the act of terrorism itself, not the hope people felt after they survived the incident.
