Thesis Statement and Outline

Thesis Statement: [Work in progress]

Through violence and cynically comical depictions, both Super Columbine Massacre and Darfur is Dying convey messages about happenings in today's society and persuade the player to take a stance in what each game is rendering.

Outline:

Body 1: Brief synopsis of each game and small history of what they're based from.

Body 2: Compare and Contrast the way each game portrays their serious message.

Body 3: Compare and Contrast how each game's approach entices the player to actively take a stance on each issue. Mention effective ways versus ineffective ways.

Conclusion: Restate thesis, wrap up.
