I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.”—Robert Louis Stevenson<span><span>SynopsisBorn on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Robert Louis Stevenson traveled often, and his global wanderings lent themselves well to his brand of fiction. Stevenson developed a desire to write early in life, having no interest in the family business of lighthouse engineering. He was often abroad, usually for health reasons, and his journeys led to some of his early literary works. Publishing his first volume at the age of 28, Stevenson became a literary celebrity during his life when works such as Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were released to eager audiences. He died in Samoa in 1894.</span><span>Early LifeRobert Louis Balfour Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on November 13, 1850, to Thomas and Margaret Stevenson. Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, and so at the age 17, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following his father in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young artists, both writers and painters. He emerged from law school in 1875, but did not practice, as, by this point, he felt that his calling was to be a writer.</span></span>
Mass media vs social media:
- Mass media is the totality of all media ( movies, technology, news, television, advertising)
- Mass media has control over all propaganda and messages that are sent to the world.
- Mass media is hundred years old of ...
- Social media is the media in recent years that involved social internet
- Social media is open to society and allows people to express themselves freely ( facebook instagram Twitter kik)
- Social media is kind of a twenty first century thing ( though media was kind of social before)
1. Young adult literature can expose teens to sexual content. This puts it in the teens mind that sex or other sexual activities are a "must do." Similar to the argument of "do violent video games encourage violence?" does seeing sexual content in books normalize young sex?
2. These books may romanticize things that shouldn't be romanticized (ie: mental illness, death, violence, cancer, etc.)
3. YA can put unrealistic ideas into teens heads (ie: being a millionaire by age 20 only by hard work, falling in love with your soulmate after meeting them a few hours prior)
4. They might not accurately portray the life of teenagers, therefore misguiding teenagers. They are written mostly by adults and some haven't been teenagers in a long time, so they might not know what teens are struggling with now days.
Hope this helped!
