I really was not sure about what to write about, because I did not really understand the prompt, even after the email explanation. I tried the best I could to write this, and make it make sense, but it may be missing some of the parts that we were supposed to be writing about.

The text I chose to do was the DVD Turtles II Secret of the ooze. This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie has a very simple cover. It shows the turtles in a circle which looks like some metal in the ground. They are suggesting that it is some type of underground tunnel based on the background. There is also a tube of glowing green goo that is leaking out the side of the tube.

The title of the movie is The Secret of the Ooze, and in the picture it shows that it leaked, or was broken open and was leaking. This makes you start to think about what the ooze may have done, because it looks radioactive. Also the turtles in it look abnormally large and are wearing masks. So you know that they are not normal turtles.

The cover of the DVD is very bright and has many colors on it. It also looks semi "cartoonish". This shows the audience that this movie is directed towards kids. Also the pictures are simple and big to attract the attention of kids. Not only kids but it is directed towards little boys because the colors are maybe considered “boy” colors, such as blues and greens. Also the sewer setting makes boys think “dirty” and little boys like things that make them look tough.

Now you know that I really feel like I’m missing a lot of information because I am adding random sentences just to get to the 300 word minimum. haha
