TEXT: More Than Just A Place To Sleep

This text published in 2016 by Lauren Davidson is an article about a museum exhibit featuring 26 different teenage bedrooms. This article analysis how teenagers are more connected to their room than in the past, and the writer uses contrast and direct quotes to get across this idea. The main contrast in this article is between how modern day teenagers perceive their bedrooms and how teenagers in the late 1900’s perceived their bedrooms. Lauren states in the article that over the past few decades the way teenagers use their own bedrooms has drastically changed. “One of the most notable differences between the life of teenagers today and that of their parents’ youth is the advent of social media” Social media is a new concept in society and has caused a lot of change, including teenagers lifestyles.
