Movie Trailer For Twilight

Some might claim the YA genre has grown to be too dark for its target audience. Meghan Gurdon, a firm believer of this idea, explains why she believes this in her article, “Darkness Too Visible”. Gurdon describes the experience of a mother of three in a bookstore looking to purchase a YA novel for one of her children, when she found herself leaving the bookstore empty-handed due to the content of the teen books. While teen books decades ago contained less violent/corrupted material, times have changed along with the genre. She is concerned that these books could have an effect on these young readers’ brains as they are merely transferring from childhood to adulthood. Gurdon still has faith that YA books would sell just as well and connect with young readers today without all of the dark subject matters discussed in them these days.

S.E. Hinton’s ‘The Outsiders’ is relevant Fifty years on because it compels its readers to understand the human condition.

The Chronicles of Narnia was beautifully sitting in the corner, a holy grail of all other books in the library. The story of Narnia intoxicated me with a passionate reading frenzy. In middle school, I had become a book nerd; every moment that I had a chance I would read. The librarians knew me by name and were always cheerful to continue to see me. Every week I would discover another book that I needed to read. Many late nights and numerous page turns later, I had enjoyed my way through Hunger Games, Eragon, and Percy Jackson. Sadly, reading had begun to interfere with my grades and my social life. My parents had to speak with my teachers as to why my grades were falling, and were met with no explanation. My parents were infuriated and they told me to cut back on my reading addiction. Limiting my time spent reading habits did return my grades back to normal, but unfortunately it has broken my habits of reading and the amount of time I spent reading has reduced rapidly since

All this has added to the growing popularity of the Harry Potter brand that is everywhere today. Young readers can relate to Harry’s issues and the books create another world the readers can subconsciously ‘escape’ too.

In “Bold Books for Teenagers: Summer Reading”, Gallo explains that action packed stories filled with adventure attract teenage students and allow them to actively participate in these adventures by reading. The creepy scenes of the lab and mutant children in cages with their organs out and the morphing of Erasers and violent fights were all disturbing yet attract both male and female audience: the males get excited by them while the girls sympathetic. In James Patterson’s Maximum Ride series, the suspense and nonstop action, as well as Max’s “smart mouth and witty” narration keep teens (especially boys) reading. The way the characters are well detailed makes them never predictable and straightforward with their plans which keeps the readers on their

“Books tell children what to expect, what life is, what culture is, how we are expected to behave--what the spectrum is. Books don’t just cater to tastes. They form tastes. They create norms…” P. 4. Books nowadays have taken teenagers to a different level entirely. Books like the Hunger Games, Divergent, or The Maze Runner have a dystopian theme to them where kids are thrown into a different world from their childhood. They create norms for the real world for the teenagers because we have been sucked into this new world. For us, this gives us a different intellect on what we think is right. As readers we look for a character that we can relate to. If we can do that, but it gives us a different perspective we may not want, then the books are giving us a norm that may not be healthy for

Ever since humanity wrote their first words, from the time people carved in caves, and from the time long forgotten, there have always been books. Throughout the ages, society tells us what our younger generations should and shouldn't be reading. What is most beneficial to their young sponge-like minds? Well, The Awakening by Kate Chopin is by far one of them, even though its a little 'mature' for some. Although the novel has some bad language, messed up themes, and overly disturbing sexual content, it is still a book that must be involved into our high school lessons because it deals with realistic problems within society, helps students to learn new things, and questions the status quo of society.

The Harry Potter film series is one of the highest grossing movie franchises of all time. It created a rich universe that is beloved by millions, and a few years ago, the author of Harry Potter announced that there will be a new series of films set several decades prior to the events of Harry Potter. The new film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, had a lot of expectations to uphold. The purpose of this essay is to provide a rhetorical criticism of one of the trailers for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. First, I will report on the film trailer. Next, I will analyze the trailer 's context relative to the communication model, visual appeal, color foundations, nonverbal communication, and language choices. Finally, I will judge the effectiveness of the messages the trailer was trying to communicate. I chose this artifact as Harry Potter was one of my favorite series growing up, and wished to analyze how the trailer for a film that already has a large established universe behind it, yet still has to find a way to create its own context. To be able to analyze the trailer, the facts of what happened in it first must be reported on.
