ReplyDeleteThis screenplay is really relatable to kids in our generation. Many people are addicted to technology and Annie did a good job showing this.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome topic. This screenplay accurately displays the stereotypes of our generation. Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteAnnie did a great job of accomplishing her intention to exaggerate the conflict. I also liked how easy this topic is to relate to.
ReplyDeleteLike the topic of the no technology and how the main character has to go through the hardship of not having a phone.
ReplyDeleteThis screenplay was pretty funny because it properly demonstrated how teens are addicted to their phones.
ReplyDeleteAnnie portrays this generation through the flappy bird incident. She made it funny through the stereotypes. She did superiority humor through the kids being so obsessed with their phones.

ReplyDeleteI liked how much of the humor came from the stereotypes that are associated with the teenagers in the story. This is a creative depiction of what would happen in a hypothetical situation.
ReplyDeleteAnnie did a great job of accomplishing all of her intentions. It was good how she included her humor in the screenplay when the students lost technology.
ReplyDeleteIt was really funny and you can kind of think back to when the school lost wifi and we couldn't do anything in English. You accomplished having superiority theory when the parents were laughing at the kids.
ReplyDeleteI thought Annie did well in accomplishing her first intention of portraying today's society. She shows how people today are becoming more and more captured by their phones. Also, Annie did a good job with her second intention because there was a comedic aspect of the screenplay but more importantly, it is accurate to today's world and easily understood by the target group.
ReplyDeleteI thought Annie did a really good job writing this screenplay. In today's society, everyone is always caught up in playing on their phones or texting and Annie portrayed today's society really well.
ReplyDeleteYou effectively captured the reality of today's society and were able to exaggerate it in order to create humor. It was a really good screenplay!
ReplyDeleteI love this screenplay because you took something that is such a relevant issue and topic in today's society and turned it into a relatable script. I also enjoy how the main type of humor in this was superiority humor.
ReplyDeleteI really like the topic you used because it is relatable. I like how you used humore to send your message.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good concept to display the stereotype of our generation and how addicted we are to our cellphones and technology as a whole.
ReplyDeleteThe screenplay was effective in portraying how our generation relies on technology. I enjoyed reading a different take on current issue.
ReplyDeleteThe topic of technology addiction is very present mostly in dystopian fiction novels. Seeing it in a modern and relatable setting is an interesting take on the issue, and helps get the point across more. Seeing a typical teen's own behavior play out in a screenplay gets across to us how we may seem from an outsider's perspective. All your intentions are met and you met them using a funny relatable screenplay.
