Assignment 5: Claire Telfer

I watch TV to give my brain a break after school or just to relax. I could read a book, but it's just easier to sit down and binge watch shows. When I was younger, watching TV stimulated my imagination because I could dream about what could be. I always liked animation shows because they presented an alternate universe that made you want to live in it. I love shows that everyone can relate to in one way or another. For one, I love watching Spongebob because you could probably make a Spongebob reference in a high school room and the majority of the class would laugh. I also like watching reality TV. I know it's trash, but it's too good to stop watching. One in particular, Keeping up with the Kardashians, has a special place in my heart. I've been watching it for about two years and I love watching the reruns the most. Watching the older episodes compared to the present ones reveal the evolution of each of the Kartrashian's character. We see them struggling through divorce, depression, health scares, etc. I feel like I'm watching something that can genuinely happen to anyone.
