How

essay
The
problems
in
getting
to
the
theater,
the
theater
itself,
and
the
behavior
of
some
patrons
are
all
reasons
why
I
often
wait
for
a
movie
to
show
up
on
TV.
I
am
a
movie
fanatic.
When
friends
want
to
know
what
picture
won
the
Oscar
in
1980
or
who
played
the
police
chief
in
Jaws,
they
ask
me.
My
friends,
though,
have
stopped
asking
me
if
I
want
to
go
out
to
the
movies.
First
of
all,
just
getting
to
the
theater
presents
difficulties.
Leaving
a
home
equipped
with
a
TV
and
a
video
recorder
isn't
an
attractive
idea
on
a
humid,
cold,
or
rainy
night.
Even
if
the
weather
cooperates,
there
is
still
a
thirty-minute
drive
to
the
theater
down
a
congested
highway,
followed
by
the
hassle
of
looking
for
a
parking
space.
And
then
there
are
the
lines.
After
hooking
yourself
to
the
end
of
a
human
chain,
you
worry
about
whether
there
will
be
enough
tickets,
whether
you
will
get
seats
together,
and
whether
many
people
will
sneak
into
the
line
ahead
of
you.

Everything
in

supports

first

tickets,
whether
you

Support
1—leaving
home
not
good
idea
on
hot,
cold,
or
rainy
night
Support
2—there
is
a
30
minute
drive
to
the
theater
on
a
busy
highway,
followed
by
hassle
of
looking
for
a
place
to
park
Support
3—you

there
be
enoguh
tickets?
Will
you
all
be
able
to
sit
by
each
other?
Support
5—will
people
cut
into
the
line
ahead
of
you?
Once
you
have
made
it
to
the
box
office
and
gotten
your
tickets,
you
are
confronted
with
the
problems
of
the
theater
itself.
If
you
are
in
one
of
the
run-down
older
theaters,
you
must
adjust
to
the
musty
smell
of
seldom-cleaned
carpets.
Escaped
springs
lurk
in
the
faded
plush
or
cracked
leather
seats,
and
half
the
seats
you
sit
in
seem
loose
or
tilted
so
that
you
sit
at
a
strange
angle.
The
newer
twin
and
quad
theaters
offer
their
own
problems.
Sitting
in
an
area
only
one-quarter
the
size
of
a
regular
theater,
moviegoers
often
have
to
put
up
with
the
sound
of
the
movie
next
door.
Everything
in
the
third
paragraph
supports
the
second
prong...
This
is
especially
jarring
when
the
other
movie
involves
racing
cars
or
a
karate
war
and
you
are
trying
to
enjoy
a
quiet
love
story.
And
whether
the
theater
is
old
or
new,
it
will
have
floors
that
seem
to
be
coated
with
rubber
cement.
By
the
end
of
a
movie,
shoes
almost
have
to
be
pried
off
the
floor
because
they
have
become
sealed
to
a
deadly
compound
of
spilled
soda,
hardening
bubble
gum,
and
crushed
Ju-Jubes.
The
problems
in
getting
to
the
theater,
the
theater

and
the
behavior
of
some
patrons
are

Prong
(paragraph
#2)
a)
Topic
sentence
(first
prong)—
First
of
all,
just
getting
to
the
theater
presents
difficulties.
b)
Support
#1
for
first
prong—Leaving
a
home
equipped
with
a
TV
and
a
video
recorder
isn't
an
attractive
idea
on
a
humid,
cold,
or
rainy
night.
c)
Support
#2
for
first
prong—Even
if
the
weather
cooperates,
there
is
still
a
thirty-minute
drive
to
the
theater
down
a
congested
highway,
followed
by
the
hassle
of
looking
for
a
parking
space.
d)
Support
#3
for
first
prong—And
then
there
are
the
lines.
After
hooking
yourself
to
the
end
of
a
human
chain,
you
worry
about
whether
there
will
be
enough
tickets,
whether
you
will
get
seats
together,
and
whether
many
people
will
sneak
into
the
line
ahead
of
you.
III.
Support
for
Second
Prong
(paragraph
#3)
a)
Topic
sentence
(second
prong)—
Once
you
have
made
it
to
the
box
office
and
gotten
your
tickets,
you
are
confronted
with
the
problems
of
the
theater
itself.
b)
Support
#1
for
second
prong
If
you
are
in
one
of
the
run-down
older
theaters,
you
must
adjust
to
the
musty
smell
of
seldom-
cleaned
carpets.
Escaped
springs
lurk
in
the
faded
plush
or
cracked
leather
seats,
and
half
the
seats
you
sit
in
seem
loose
or
tilted
so
that
you
sit
at
a
strange
angle.
c)
Support
#2
for
second
prong
The
newer
twin
and
quad
theaters
offer
their
own
problems.
Sitting
in
an
area
only
one-quarter
the
size
of
a
regular
theater,
moviegoers
often
have
to
put
up
with
the
sound
of
the
movie
next
door.
This
is
especially
jarring
when
the
other
movie
involves
racing
cars
or
a
karate
war
and
you
are
trying
to
enjoy
a
quiet
love
story.
d)
Support
#3
for
second
prong
And
whether
the
theater
is
old
or
new,
it
will
have
floors
that
seem
to
be
coated
with
rubber
cement.
By
the
end
of
a
movie,
shoes
almost
have
to
be
pried
off
the
floor
because
they
have
become
sealed
to
a
deadly
compound
of
spilled
soda,
hardening
bubble
gum,
and
crushed
Ju-Jubes.
IV.
Support
for
Third
Prong
(paragraph
#4)
a)
Topic
sentence
(third
prong)—
Some
of
the
patrons
are
even
more
of
a
problem
than
the
theater
itself.
b)
Support
#1
for
third
prong—Little
kids
race
up
and
down
the
aisles,
usually
in
giggling
packs.
c)
Support
#2
for
third
prong—Teenagers
try
to
impress
their
friends
by
talking
back
to
the
screen,
whistling,
and
making
what
they
consider
to
be
hilarious
noises.
d)
Support
#3
for
third
prong—Adults
act
as
if
they
were
at
home
in
their
own
living
rooms
and
comment
loudly
on
the
ages
of
the
stars
or
why
movies
aren't
as
good
anymore.
e)
Support
#4
for
third
prong—And
people
of
all
ages
crinkle
candy
wrappers,
stick
gum
on
their
seats,
and
drop
popcorn
tubs
or
cups
of
crushed
ice
and
soda
on
the
floor.
f)
Support
#5
for
third
prong—They
also
cough
and
burp,
squirm
endlessly
in
their
seats,
file
out
for
repeated
trips
to
the
rest
rooms
or
concession
stand,
and
elbow
you
out
of
the
armrest
on
either
side
of
your
seat.
V.
Conclusion
(paragraph
#5)
a)
Transition
sentence—After
arriving
home
from
the
movies
one
night,
I
decided
that
I
was
not
going
to
be
a
moviegoer
anymore.
b)
Review
of
Three
Prongs—I
was
tired
of
the
problems
involved
in
getting
to
the
movies
and
dealing
with
the
theater
itself
and
some
of
the
patrons.
c)
Final
Thoughts—The
next
day
I
arranged
to
have
cable
TV
service
installed
in
my
home.
I
may
now
see
movies
a
bit
later
than
other
people,
but
I'll
be
more
relaxed
watching
box
office
hits
in
the
comfort
of
my
own
living
room.
