More often than not people watch movies that reflect his or her own preference, culture and background. Still though, there are times when these preferences change because we adapt to the liking of the people we immerse ourselves with. Take Susan Allen Toth’s essay for example. She describes her personal fondness for musicals or those redeemed by Thelma Ritter, and how all that changes when she starts seeing and dating three different men.
The author’s use of exemplification and comparison and contrast in this piece, in my opinion helped emphasize that there are, indeed, differences when one person watches alone and when one watches with another person. Also, these techniques helped build up the conclusion and emotions of the piece.
There is more to this piece than just how people are easily influenced by those around them. This essay can also be viewed in a very informative way. It discusses and differentiates the different cinematypes available to people.
