The theories that seem to apply to my popular culture are that the author Stephen King is a famous author of Horror novels. His novels are popular enough that they have turned into films and be high grossing movies. Stephen King has done many movies such as IT, Carrie, The Shining, Misery and many, many more. The public has a desire to be frightened as part of their entertainment experience. Whether it is reading one of his novels or watching one of his movies. These theories describe and analyze the topic that I selected because Stephen King is a popular icon in the literary world. Stephen King is known to have sold more than 350 million copies of King’s novels and short story collections. Stephen King is known for being the creator of the sci-fi franchise of Star Wars. The insights that I gain from applying these theories to my popular culture are that celebrities can be successful and can be persuaded to care and to teach the public with entertainment whether it be a book or a movie.
