What is the main purpose of lines 117-126 the invasion of Mars

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the excerpt of lines 117-126 from the Invasion of Mars:

"This end of the thing is beginning to

flake off! The top is beginning to rotate like a screw! The thing

must be hollow!

Voices. She’s a movin’!

Look, the darn thing’s unscrewing

Keep back, there! Keep back, I tell you!

Maybe there’s men in it trying to escape!

It’s red hot, they’ll burn to a cinder!

Keep back there. Keep those idiots back!

[Suddenly the clanking sound of a huge piece of falling

metal.

Voices. She’s off! The top’s loose!

Look out there! Stand back!

Phillips. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most terrifying

thing I have ever witnessed."

Explanation:

From the excerpt above we notice a vivid description of the supposed sound of the "extraterrestrial" object from mars.

In other words, the main purpose of lines 117-126, is to create a thrilling feeling in the minds of the avid reader; making the object become real in the minds of the reader or hearer as the case may be.
