11. Third World War?

                “How I Live Now” is a recent movie that is based of a popular tens book. It is somewhat similar to Twilight and Harry potter, yet it has its own differences. Daisy, also the main character, goes for the holidays to her relatives farmhouse. There she originally wants to stay in her room listening to music, till she meets some new friends and a extremely attractive future boyfriend. After that her summer becomes more exiting and interactive. Till one day an atomic bomb explodes but the teens only feel a wind of ashes. From then on the boys are separated from her and her small cousin, who become determined to reunite later on.
                What is not so clear is what is the main audience of this movie? There are lots of gruesome parts mining that only adults should watch it. But then it is a story of a teenager aiming for teens maybe even younger ones too. The mood of the movies is very dreamy yet thrilling at the same time, it could even be categorized as partially horror. The author of this article gives in a clear way a summary of the movie and a brief background. And towards the end he questions the audience of the movie and gives his own opinionated answer. This means that overall, this article was both informative yet with a concluding opinion, meaning it was an affective essay for the readers.
