Nancy Drew and the Juvenile Audience
For my presentation of my slide I decided to use a visual mode. A visual mode would be
easiest because it would express to the audience how the images correlate with the idea I am
trying to get across. The visual mode will help the audience better understand the age group
associated with the different versions of The Sign of the Twisted Candles. The visual mode will
help to draw attention between the two generations and how the age groups have changed over
time.
On the slide is a picture of children from the 1930s and a picture of children from the
1960s. This will be suitable to show the differences between children in the two time periods.
By picking those pictures, it will help to understand how the young age group had changed and it
will help to come up with possibilities of why The Sign of the Twisted Candles has changed as
well. I chose these pictures to depict the significant changes between the generations. Looking a
the clothing, you can tell that the 1930s was move conservative and a lot of clothing during that
time was homemade.
The Sign of the Twisted Candles appeals to the age group of children. The book is
intended to appeal to a juvenile audience. A juvenile audience is described as an age group
between zero through fifteen and grades kindergarten through twelfth. Not only did time pass
between the two books, yet the children have changed as well. The 1933 edition was suitable to
that generation, but it was most likely modified to keep up with the generation of the 1960s

children. Cars, clothing and diction have also changed between the thirty-five years of the two
books. In order to keep up with todays generation, the book would have to be modified once
again because of how much things have changes since 1968.
