Question: Does the author consider opposing points of view? Does the author seem to treat sources fairly?

     The article “Twilight vs Hunger Games: Why do so many grown-ups hate Bella?” by Noah Berlatsky inspects both point of views very thoroughly. From the start, he wants to create an argument that would allow readers/viewers to verbally abuse themselves in a debate topic like this. He also states a direct opinion of who would win in the fight, “Bella is going to get stomped”—many have already disagreed with him on this point. The way he begins to describe Bella from his point of view shows how pathetic he thinks she is in the books. I agree that his evidence is all interpreted correctly, because that really is how the stories go. She really can’t do much, mainly she’s just another stereotypical girl. Then, he goes on to emphasize how great of a character she is, and not only toss a couple adverbs or adjectives, he inserts several of them, metaphors and exaggeration! One would believe he is completely on her side now. Although, one can imply that he is also arguing against a certain other discussion. That he needs to provide explicit information in order to get his point across. He states, “Comparing Twilight and The Hunger Games, it’s easy to see why second wave feminists, and adults in general find a girly teen so much less attractive than a tomboyish one.” He’s arguing with another argument, how women should see women, or in fact, all people. He really trying to show fair compassion for both, but not until the end when he admits that Bella can in fact, demolish Katniss with the power she obtains after she becomes a vampire. I really like the fact that he did this, because readers of this article will look back and probably reconsider their arguments against him. He showed both views with elaborate detail and treats the sources fairly.
