Academic Source: Research Paper

One of the sources I will most likely be using with in my melodramatic research paper is and academic source called "ESCAPISM", by Jesse Montero, found on the University at Buffalo library data base. I feel that this source will help me to develop a better research paper because the author takes my stance on the idea of what escapism is in reality today. In my research paper I will be writing about two of Nicholas Spark's novels and how they have been transformed to be put on the big screen. This article/source explains that romance is used as a "flight" from what a person's reality is. It is an outlet for a person to get away from what is really going on in their lives, and in the two novels I will be writing about, this is one of the main themes: A girl that has come from a horrible situation is brought to life by a significant other in over-dramatic ways, or vice versa with a male escaping his reality. Montero argues that all relationships are an escape from reality, I think that he himself is a bit overdramatic, but it agrees with the point I am trying to make with how Spark's novels can be interpreted in this exact way, especially when seen in a movie.
