Analyzing TItles

Analyzing Titles

~The titles that engage me are: I’m 18. Give me a drink!; Same-sex Marriage; and Don’t hurt fluffy!

~These titles engage me because they have a title that catches my eye, but don’t give you enough information to let you know what it is actually about and that makes me want to know more about the reading.

~I’m 18. Give me a drink! Would probably interest a younger audience, like kids between the ages of 18 and 20. These kids would probably be more interested only because they aren’t at the legal drinking age, and want to know what this is about. Same-sex marriage would reach a large audience, at least for the people that are over 18 that are able to be married and definitely for the people that practice same-sex relations. As far as don’t hurt fluffy! That probably has the weirdest titles, it makes you want to find out who fluffy is and why are they are saying not to hurt him.

~I think that more of the titles are not interesting, a couple of the titles I find less interesting would probably be “A Story of Success”, “Youth of America”, and “Earth: Used and Abused”. Titles like these are very common in today’s society and you read and hear about them all the time, therefore making them less interesting. I would say that out of the three I chose “Earth: Used and Abused” would probably be the least interesting to me. I find this one the least interesting because you hear new things everyday about how the earth is being hurt. In my opinion there is really nothing that can be done to help the earth or save the earth so I don’t ever waste my time reading pointless ideas on how to make the earth a better place. I believe it is a huge ideology for a lot of people but nothing will ever be done about it. “A Story of Success” is another title that would not catch my attention. It is very common to see and hear about new success stories everyday. When somebody gets an A+ in school somebody could turn it into a story of success. I believe that we all have our own stories of success and I would just rather create my own story and make myself successful rather than just reading about somebody else’s success. “Youth of America” is not appealing to me because I’m am the current youth of America and I really have no interest in reading somebody else’s idea of what or where I’m going to be in 10 years.

~“Manufacturing Job Loss” will most likely end up talking about how our American jobs are going to be taken away from us and given to foreigners because of their cheap labor. “The Quiet War for Freedom of Thought” sounds like a liberal politician wrote this and probably ends up saying something like how we don’t even have the freedom to think anymore. “Working Women and Society’s View of Them” seems like it would end up in a story of how successful women are becoming these days, and how men are taking it, due to the fact that it’s not uncommon for a man to be working for a woman now. “Earth: Used and Abused” will most likely just talk about what the people are doing wrong to the earths ozone layer and how the people can do certain things to make it better. “A Story of Success” will end up how they all end, when some person started off really low on the chain and slowly made their way up to success. “Youth of America ” most likely talk about how the kids of today are going to be tomorrows future and how the kids today will be taking care of all the older people in 30 or 40 years from now. “I’m 18. Give Me a Drink: sounds like it might talk about how some people think that the age limit for drinking alcohol should be 18 instead of 21. "The Dillemma of Tort Reform" I dont really understand this title and really don't know what the writing will talk about. "Same-sex Marriage" will most likely talk about the facts of gay marriage and how it should be legal, that all people have the same rights and you should be able to be together with the person you want to be with. "Don't Hurt Fluffy!" maybe will talk about the abuse of animals or how abuse of animals is a real problem today. "Textbooks: The Other College Expense" this title sounds like they will talk about how textbooks in college are actually really expensive and are a big part of the tution money that student have to pay to be in classes.

~Titles that engage audiences- Short, To the point, Interesting titles, New ideas and fact

~Titles that don't engage audiences- Long, Don't get to the Point, Boring titles
