Anna Faris & Chris Pratt.. What will happen next?

Hey, everyone! Today's blog will discuss the genre of an article. This particular article is about Chris Pratt and Annas Faris' divorce. Many different celebrity magazines posted about this topic, but People Magazine's article stood out to me.The magazine used a sense of exigency to get this information out. We are waiting on the response of both constraints, Anna and Chris, to tell the public how things are going and if there is a future together. When discussing the topic of divorce it is important that we notice the rhetoric in this article. Lloyd Bitzer focuses on the rhetorical situation and that discourse is associated with it. In this article, the discourse is the act of divorce. “They are going through couples counseling now, which is what you do when you want to divorce and there are children involved,” People Magazine's source says. In this case, this quote is the situation of the couple going through this separation. It is important to notice the audience that People Magazine is trying to reach. The main audience that they are targeting are fans of Anna or Chris. I know I am huge fans of both of these amazing actors so it was heartbreaking to know they were splitting up. They have a beautiful son together and are trying their best to make things work whether they stay together or they co-parent. They are being great role models for couples going through the same thing. They both have busy lives with their acting career that keeping the family together just doesn't seem possible. Although this disheartening to hear, it gives us that comfort that celebrities are just like us. Getting news like this allows fans to be part of their favorite celebrity's life. Magazines like People and blogs like mine is how we are able to connect and communicate with the celebrities. It is important to keep the information flowing and keeping the public up to date. Some may see this as an invasion of privacy, but when one becomes a celebrity it should be something that is expected. In our society, they have a huge influence on the public and it is important to keep the network strong.
