Consider how the documentary creates a narrative.
- Narrative is the shaping of a story. It guides the audience threw the story form the prospective of another. The documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters does just that.
- When watching or hearing a narrative story you voluntarily disassociate with your self and associate with story. In The King of Kong I my self became trapped into the narrators tale.
- As we hear our family and friends stories we begin to analyze it and shape it in our own opinion. When reading a book or article in which the narrator shapes the story to his view there is little analyze only to recognize to.
- The narrator's job is to give form to a story making you only the audience. A story allows you to become the narrator.
Who is the hero and who is the villain?
- Steve Wiebe is the hero and Billy Mitchell is the villain. Wiebe is portrayed as a hard working family man, who's only wish is to redeem him self of past fallers. Mitchell is viewed as a conniving business man who only wishes to stay on top at all cost.
- The documentary only allows the audiences to see Wiebe's struggles and Mitchell's ambition. The audience falls for Wiebe and despises Mitchell.
How does the documentary relate to Video games as Literature?
- The documentary not only proves that literature does not have to be in text ( because the the documentary it self is a narrative story) but also shows similarities between itself and the video game Kong.
- The documentary has a hero and a villain. Kong is the villain and Mario the hero. The documentary has a sold will defined plot. Kong's plot, though simple, is also sold and will defined. A man (Mario)attempting to reach his goal (saving the princess) and a villain(Kong) standing in the way. Both also had multiple obstacles that at many times surprised its audience.
- Threw this documentary we are able to comprehend literature in different levels.
