Adolescents and the Media

This piece is quite different from the other ones, especially because it has subheadings that say "What do we know?" and "What don't we know?" This will definately help the reader better understand the issue at hand, because it is clearly marked beforehand. In the "What we don't know" section, readers are more likely to think critically about the questions put in there. The author uses "in my own opinion" which clearly means that it isn't formal. This writing piece seems to be shorter than the previous ones I've read and the structure epescially is alot different. There are just three paragraphs to begin with, which talk about the media's influence in adolecents lives and why its a major player. The information following that is what I mentioned above about the "What do we know?" and "What don't we know?" sections. These sections are refering to the amount of knowledge people have in general about the media, in relation to adolecents. This particular piece alot lists a bunch of sources which include: website articles, books and studies.

Overall I think this piece is short and a quick read. People can just read it quickly, for fun and it isn't formal but readable. I like how it has subheadings and clearly defines what they are talking about. The sources which are presented are also good on the writer's part, and the reader's can look into the sources.
