Camp

I did not know what camp meant until recently, but it is a good topic to consider when studying literature. The handout we read in class was a little too in depth, but she made some good points. I had never seen the music video for Turn Back Time and it was a lot trashier that I expected. I think camp can relate to all ages and it is the primary way to peak interest in new topics, especially for teens. Titus as a text could be seen as camp, but as a movie, the harsh visuals make it harder to put in that category. But I do think that Shakespeare fails to be serious because Titus is so over the top.
