Zooey Deschanel Research Paper

Zooey Deschanel is an American celebrity known majorly for her acting, having starred in a variety of movies and most recently reprising the role of Jessica Day in the comedy television series New Girl. In addition to her acting career, Deschanel has garnered a decent following by expanding to music, immersing herself in the hipster cyber world that is tumblr and co-founding the website HelloGiggles. She has an impressive amount of followers on Facebook (6.1 million at the moment) that she constantly shares links with to different websites, more often than not being to HelloGiggles. Her communication with the audience is for the most part fragmented as the majority of it involves her sharing a link that redirects the reader to a specific website
We have to assume that she is a good actress, it is what she is mainly known for and this becomes clear when observing her Facebook page. Generally of the variety of links she shares on Facebook, the ones regarding her acting career are the ones that get nearly all the attention. We know they get most of the attention because these posts are the ones that get as a whole more likes and shares than the rest, hinting that her audience mainly appreciates her acting career. But as she already has
For example, on August 1st she shared a link to HelloGiggles with her own tag that read “!!!! <3” and below it the link itself read “By the way, this baby sloth has a sloth teddy bear”. In all honesty as a female I was drawn to the cuteness of the sloth displayed and the idea of a baby animal holding a teddy bear. The use of exclamation points and a heart is a strategy she uses to incite the reader. When I first read it, all I imagined was Zooey Deschanel excitingly making nonsense sounds as she would in her blog videos or as her character would in New Girl.

Interestingly enough, Deschanel doesn’t follow a specific chronological order, per se. There are times when she’ll post a story that have happened at a time close to the present. For example, on July 13th she shared a post about how it was Malala’s birthday and how she, Malala, was spending her special day overseeing the inauguration of the Malala Yousafzai All-Girls School. Here she is bringing awareness to issues in Syria, she’s helping Malala gain even more internet relevance and of course the link she shared was to HelloGiggles.
