“FrontPage worthy” titles, and for its complexity that makes understanding this topic difficult for regular people. In The Missing Climate Change Narrative, Segal expands on this idea of climate change being ineffectively communicated by explaining how a lack of emotional appeal and a good narrative are two of the main reasons for why people are not convinced of the seriousness of the effects of climate change. The nature of climate change including its complexity and its slow moving and obscure…

South Park or The Simpsons, each episode of BoJack Horseman follows a continuous storyline. This allows for deeper conveyance of underlying messages within the plot which make the show more thought-provoking and add to its complexity. Mittel argues that its comedic complexity is formed by “altering the relationship between multiple plotlines, creating interweaving stories that often collide and coincide” (Mittell, 42).
