1) Rhetorical strategies Denby uses:
Irony: Despite being so disliked she's still the most popular
Hyperbole: Calling the blonde the most hated woman in america.
colloquialism: "You're vapor" and "You're spam"
2) The male is painted more as a brute, known more for his actions and loud voice over his looks or how he treats people.
3) He transitions to talking about reality in it's relation to movies and their accuracy.
4) The break is in order to make the reader also take a second to take in what they have read, since the topic changes at this point.
5) He answers the questions by talking about how movies are an exaggerated view of teen life as well as the emotional aspects of it.
6) 6. One way that Denby uses the expertise is to back up his argument by referencing on others work. He talks about specific examples of movies.
7) His main argument is that teen movies don't reflect how high school really is but rather gives an exaggerated view of it. His secondary argument is that these movies are made with the feelings of the viewer in mind and how they perceive things.
8) lolnope
9) He ties the "wound and the bow" theory shows how being an outsider isn't a bad thing but can also be a good thing.
10) He backs up his claim by saying that the columbine shooters didn't learn the lesson that "loners" and "losers" are fine after high school.
11) He says the films that go above and beyond the genre are the ones that actually reflect real life.
12) His audience is likely adults out of high school interested in film, who might reminisce over the movies of their childhood.
