One teacher talks about the Twilight Saga and the value of reading.
NOVEL NOVICE Another teacher, Tiffani Truitt of Novel Novice, writes a paper that explores how female fans, particularly female Twilight fans, are misrepresented in various popular culture outlets.
This is a result of two main issues: (1), the line between fan and fanatic is often difficult to define, thus large fandoms are often written off as obsessive, dangerous and unable to think for themselves. (2), Female fandoms suffer this cruel and uninformed misrepresentation the most. While society has accepted the buying power of female consumers, it repeatedly tries to write off this power by declaring it a product of superficial desires.
