[Respond] Consider possible topics: Examining other movie trends.

E-Page 76

Consider other movie (or television) trends from recent years. Possibilities include films or television shows featuring vampires or zombies, stories about the end of the world as we know it, the increasing number of sequels and remakes, and movies that have the look of “found footage”—that is, films made not by professionals but by everyday people with handheld cameras. When you have chosen a trend, think about how you might present it to your readers. What evidence could you provide to make clear that this trend exists? What obvious and not so obvious causes might you propose to explain the trend? How might you respond to objections or alternative causes that readers might raise?
