After listening to everyone's videos, some common themes also came up:
- Most of us were not enjoying what we were reading in MS or HS, or maybe read nothing.
- Some of us were not reading in MS or HS and still getting As in LA.
- The popular culture of our childhoods creates a social group for us because the similarities and memories almost binds us, even though we are strangers.
- Many different media helped us make meaning in our world.
- Using popular culture is a great way to connect to other people.
