Description Post (Group C)

This piece is an online article from the Cosmopolitan magazine. The article itself was very brief, and was titled, “Nick Jonas Confirms That Taylor Swift Throws the Best Parties.” The title suggests that the article will mainly focus on that topic, when in reality the main focus of the article is Nick Jonas’ recent “renaissance” back into the spotlight of pop culture. There are three paragraphs in total. The first paragraph describes how Jonas reentered the spotlight with a new song, and his good looks. The author then goes on to discuss an interview Jonas partook in with Rolling Stone magazine, about Taylor Swift’s birthday party, and the many celebrities that were there. The second paragraph addresses Nick’s new embrace of the gay community, and how he has interacted with his gay fandom by preforming at gay bars, and portraying a gay character on  the television show Kingdom. Lastly, the third paragraph includes talk about Nick’s past involvement with Disney. It is stated that he had tried smoking pot, and was forced to be secretive about relationships with woman during this time, but does not many any direct references to Disney. The overall purpose of this article is to highlight Nick Jonas’ recent comeback, and prove that it will continue in the new year. The author does this by discussing recent events, and providing links to articles that cover the stories in greater detail.

  1. This post is really good. You do a good job focusing on describing how the article is put together. Watch the passive voice “It is stated that . . ..” To suddenly shift from the article and the author as doing something to this vague construction seems strange as if you’re trying to be elusive about this particular information.
