This chapter talks about the use of narratives in the media. They use the story line of the beginning to the end of the day so that we can related to them more like the example they use, soap operas. Even though it is a bit more dramatic, we can still relate to some of the things going on in the show.
Chapter 41
This chapter talks about how dominant television is in our lives and how it is the major leisure activity that takes up our time. They also talk about how people try and connect themselves to characters or even think that they know and are friends with the characters in the shows but of course they are parasocial relationships.
My favorite show is Cities of the Underworld and on the show they do what they say in chapter 41. They create a narrative behind the whole "city" that they find below ground level and the try and let you connect with it.
