On Campus, Vampires Are Besting the Beats

hmmmm"I'm on Team Jacob." "I'm on Team Edward." This is probably the only book that students talk about at school that is not class related. In the article On Campus, Vampires Are Besting the Beats, many authors and their works are mentioned. These are mentioned as rhetorical questions. Although they are not direct rhetorical questions, the author of the article mentions the authors from earlier generations to ask the readers why those authors are not considered anymore.

An example of the rhetorical question used is "where are...those challenging, annoying, offensive, sometimes silly, always polemic authors whom yound people used to adore to their parents' dismay?" This rhetorical question makes the reader think about how the well-known authors are not considered anymore.

I agree with the author in that the generations are starting to read more fiction books. They are not reading books that encourage them to think in depth. Most of the students read books that entertain them and have fictious plot. Leading to fantasy views in life. We need students to get into books that encourage them to think under the surface of the story plot.
