Pulp Fiction was originally magazines with tales about bigger than life characters solving crimes or rescuing a damsel in distress. The stories were written on “pulp” which was the cheapest paper available in the 1930’s and 40’s. The low price and exotic new stories drew in readers like moths to a flame.

Analysis of Pulp Fiction by Alan Stone Alan Stone states his thesis as “Pulp Fiction is already building a cult following‚ even as its mother-fucker language and graphic violence offends others” (610). Much like Tarantino’s film‚ Stone’s article biases toward an audience with a high level of tolerance for violence‚ sick humor‚ and strong language and his ideas jump around like the scenes in the movie and leave the reader confused with poor organization.

Electronic media are media that use electronics or electromechanical energy for the end-user (audience) to access the content. This is in contrast to static media (mainly print media)‚ which today are most often created electronically‚ but don’t require electronics to be accessed by the end-user in the printed form.
