  1. My favorite style of entertainment is Romanticism. Romanticism uses emotion, fictoral characters and imagination. I like a form of art that is able to express creativity instead of the real tragedies and what not that goes on in the world. People know what goes on in the world, why should we read about it or watch a play about it. I like to read or see something that takes imagination just to visualize it. For example, in Spider Man, we all know it is impossible to shoot out spider webs from our arms and jump from building to building. But it is wonderful to be able to imagine it being true. Romanticism is a better form of entertainment.

  2. My favorite styleof entertainment is Romanticsm. Romanticism tells amazing stories of heros with great powers. An example of this would be the green lantern. When I see a movie it is so ican be entertained amd nothing is better than an action movie with crazy gun fights. An example of this would be the movie Red.

  3. My favorite style is Romanticism. Romanticism is about emotion and imagination. It takes a great mind to think up of a character that is fictional. Realism is much easier to create. Some examples are King Kong and Frankenstein. These are both fictional characters that have emotions. Frankenstein is a monster that wants to be loved and everyone thinks he his harmful. It's the same for King Kong he is harmless. Romanticism is a masterpiece in literature.

  4. My favorite style of entertainment is realism. It is the most realistic style. There is no and they live happily ever after. There are no characters that do not have human like qualities. Every character could be a real person. An example of this kind of style would be Friday Night Lights. It's about a football player. It is realistic and could happen to anyone

  5. My favorite style of art is Romanticism. It's mt favorite because it emotion and imagination. Because of the imganation, they use fictoral characters. People wrote stories and made movies basesd on romanticism. For example, Frankenstein is not a real person, but he has emoitions. Many movies today are written like this. Using imagitnation makes a story better to tell.

  6. My favorite style of entertainment is Realism. This is because, it presents true tragedies and real life situations. It adresses realistic occurances rather than have a guy in tights fly around to save the day. Not all of these stories have happy endings, but neither does real life. I think that it is important for an author to present real stories because, they have much moree meaning and can have emotion as well. An example of this is Titinic, which was based on a true story, and although doesn't happen to eveyone, is realistic. Another example is the movie Lean on Me which was a true story as well.

  7. In my opinion Romanticism is a better style then then realism. Romanticism shows imagination and emotions. Realism doesn't express these feelings. With Romanticism there also are better plots. Realism deals with real life things, but would you want to watch a story about someones life, or watch a movie with think that can only happen in your dreams. Romanticism movies are also a lot harder to create. Most of them take months of work to make, it takes someone with lots of creativity. With Realism its created with something you see and the plot is based of that, there's not creativity in that.

  8. Both were artistic movements. Romanticism was generally ending around the 1850s when Realism gained popularity. Where Romanticism was a reaction against scientific rationalization of nature, Realism thought truth could be found through the senses. My favorite would be realism because it shows the world how it is. Happily ever after isn't the ending to everyone's lives. My favorite realism entertainment would be The Blind Side, 127 Hours, The Fighter, The Kings Speech, and Soul Surfer.

  9. Movies are, now adays, realism or romanticism. Realism movies are movies based on reality. Romanticism movies are movies based on imagination. My favorite type of movie is realism. I enjoy the realism style because its on reality. The realism entertainment doesn't make the world sseem the best. It shows the ugly of the world and the nice of the world. The realism doesn't make the worls seem like a fantacy or a dream. For instince, my favorite movie is A Walk to Remember. I enjoy that movie because it shows people over coming their diffenence and how they endure a disease. They witness the reality of the world that the world isn't just fairy's or super hero. Thats why I enjoy the realism style of movies.

  10. My favorite style of entertainment is Romanticism. It has to be Romanticism because it shows a bright imagination that some people can relate to. Romanticism shows emotion and imagination. A romantic film could be an example of Frankenstien. A story about a fake person made by a mad scientist.

  11. My favorite style of entertainment is Romanticism. I do not seem to enjoy realism because it what our everyday life is about and I choose to hear or see something new that is unusual. Romanticism interests me because it emphasizes feelings, emotion, and imagination. I love how creatively the castles and cathedrals were built in the midevil architecture. An example of romanticism film is "Narnia". It is about a girl who discovers a door which she passes through and enters a whole new land called narnia. She meets a lion that talks like a human, where do you see that? This is one of the reason why for entertainment, I would choose romanticism.

  12. If I had to pick from the two styles I would pick realism. It shows the realities of life, everything that happens for real. In realism there are not always happy endings but that is the truth life doesn't always have happy endings. Romanticism shows emotion and most importantly imagination.If it was my choice I would rather see some real life story then some guy who was bit by a spider and turned into a spider. But everyone has there own opinion. My all time favorite movie is The Blind Side.

  13. I prefer Romanticism over Realism. I enjoy using my imagination and it is expressed in Romanticism. Realism depicts things in real life that could actually happen. I think that's boring and that it's fun to fantasize. Any superhero movie such as Batman or Superman displays this perfectly.

  14. I prefer Romanticism. It includes emotions relevant to everyone, just like realism, but puts more of an interesting twist to it. The result is deep and incredible stories from both human experience and imagination. Edgar Allan Poe, one of my all time favorite writers, was also composed romantic works.

  15. Romanticism, in my opinion, is better than realism. I'm not saying realism is bad. I like it as well but not as much. Romanticism involves using your imagination unlike realism. For example, Mary Shelley wrote "Frankenstein" which is about a monster who was made from different people's body parts by a mad scientist. One of my most favorite stories, in this case a play, was Romeo and Juliet. Yes, a true love like thr=eirs may be real, but the events, such as the potion, was not. I love creativity so romantiscism suits me best.

  16. If i had to choose between Realism and Romanticism, I would choose Realism. Romanticism is a fake story and usually is a story that could never happen. I do not enjoy stories like that. I prefer Realism. Realism shows what the real world is like. Its not some make up world with unicorns and fairies. Realism shows what actually is going on whether it be like Remember The Titans, that shows hard work will lead to triumph or it could be a story about an orphan. Either way I prefer to hear stories that actually happened or could happen because I live in the real world. I don't want to hear about a made up world that is never gonna happen. That is why I prefer Realism over Romanticism.

  17. If I had to choose between Romanticism and Realism, I would pick Romanticism. Romanticism uses fictional characters, emotion, and imagination. Even though Realism is interesting and attention grabbing, I like to hear and watch what people make up. An example of Romanticism is Harry Potter. No human being can use a wand for magic powers. Well there are magicians, but we all know they have tricks to make it look like magic. No human being can wave a wand and make someone a frog or ride around on brooms.
