Rapid's Expos: Why Mobile Games are Addicting

This is my expository in use since the Grizzly Invitational forensics meet in Nov. 15, 2014. As such, this script is meant to be read with visual aids. Either way, feel free to enjoy the script in it's glory.


We video gamers are constantly stereotyped as lazy, antisocial misfits. But why should we be ostracized? It's not like we do anything special. Most of you have a phone. And most of you with a phone have downloaded at least one free game. Today, everyone plays mobile games. Why do so many people play them? The fact that they're mostly free helps. But there's some sort of addictive quality to these games that makes them so successful. In fact, these games are specifically designed to appeal and addict, even at a neurologic level. Why is mobile gaming so darn addicting?

Tis' the season of joy

To me, the season of winter; Thanksgiving, Christmas, comfy clothes, fires in the stove, etc.., really begins when it gets cold outside. I just love it when I look outside the window, and it's sunny. The sun is noticeably lower but it is still sunny. It looks as if it is 83 degrees outside! But yet you go outside and it is freezing. The air chills your nose, making you feel stuffy, giving you a cold. So you go back inside, get a blanket, build a fire, and make hot chocolate. You curl up on the couch with you blanket, hot chocolate, and the heat from the fire, and watch a movie until the day ends. To me, this is winter. It's a wonderland.

Current Events (Polititcs)

One big thing I think that effects teens in our lives is the recent election of government officials. We also voted on measures to change the way we do things. I may not be old enough to vote yet, but it doesn't mean it doesn't effect me. One measure that was up for vote in my state is the requirement to label GMO's. They are saying that it could either raise the price of foods, but other people are saying that will stay the same. I'm not totally decided on the matter, but the way it would effect me is if it does raise the prices, it would make it harder for people like my family and other to buy groceries, making it harder to be able to afford every-day things. So far, nobody has been affected by this, but you never know with these things, people's sides and opinions change.
