Often, the problems of bringing together two shows with different narrative ambitions make the writing of a crossover burdensome. Such difficulties are encountered by situation comedies that wish to crossover with dramatic television programs. The satirical crossover—ranging in length from a cameo to a full comedy sketch or episode—is an extremely popular way of circumventing this problem. By various means, such crossovers typically avoid outcry from fans by being obvious parody or homage. However, on rare occasion, the humor of such crossovers can be used by one show make a narrative point by capitalizing on the audience's experience of the other program.On the way to Gatesville from my home, a drive of some two and a half hours, I had been alternating tapes of Maria Callas and Aaron Neville.

That was in 1986. Friends said, "Don't do it," and I didn't. I trusted them. And that was proper. It was right to wait. a b "Celebrating the Can-combo of Republic of Doyle and Murdoch Mysteries". National Post. November 25, 2013. Archived from the original on December 12, 2013. WOW oh WOW. When a book hits a sweet spot, it zooms from one student to another. As soon as I read the opening lines of The Crossover, with its basketball cover and bouncing rap beat, I just knew I had to read it aloud to my 5th graders. But nothing prepared me for how it hooked them. To say they are loving it is an understatement. Fifth grade boys are just about wrestling each other to see who's going to get it next--jostling each other over a novel in verse! Trying to imagine this attractive young woman as evil incarnate, I read the story again and again. I thought I might like to write about a girl whose life had made such swings, from darkness to hope. More than write about her, I wanted to meet her. Just lay eyes on her. The Wildcats' coach. He is stern but kind, and he encourages Josh to make amends with his brother because when he was younger he had a falling-out with his own brother. GrandmaPetski, Denise (May 21, 2021).

I don't think I am a fan of reading in poetic verse. I have tried it before and I din't like that book either. This YA is out of my comfort zone as in the way it is written and I don't care for sports but my son read it and recommended it. He actually liked Alexander's other book called "Booked" better than this one. An extraordinary book…about redemption, about how one superlatively messed up girl…went straight. Just in time to die.”–Anna Quindlen, The Denver Post Kwame Alexander’s newest release has been on my radar for quite some time for many reasons despite its younger audience. I adore novels written in verse and have been waiting to find one that appeals to boys. The Crossover is the book I’ve been waiting for. It doesn’t matter if I’m teaching freshmen or seniors, the boys in those classes often want to read a book with a story line revolving around sports. The fact that I can now offer them a “sports book” that’s written in verse is really exciting. The Crossover will hopefully be the exposure to verse novels that these students need. I loved the characterization, I loved the careful weaving of the themes and metaphors throughout the novel, and now that I think about it, this weaving is in some ways best expressed in poetry. I wasn’t a fan of the many different type sizes in the rap sections, but hey, whatever, I bet it works for the teen readers. Traditionally, the way to get by in the Delta was to drink hard and hold on to your eccentricities,'' comments one character in Lowry's haunting new novel.

More complex multi-production franchises can utilize crossovers of characters to serve as a device in establishing continuity in a shared fictional universe. This crossover is common in the Star Trek universe, where minor guest stars from one series have appeared as featured guest stars later ones. A good example of this crossover is that of the Klingons Kor, Koloth, and Kang. After the passage of about a century of narrative time, the three onetime adversaries of Captain Kirk appeared together in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, " Blood Oath" – as the Klingons and Federation had become allies in the century between, the former villains are now portrayed as heroes. By the spring of 1986 I knew I was better. With the help of time, friends, family, a psychiatrist, a bereaved-parents support group, books, poems, Mozart, a palm reader, and a psychic, I had made my way to a bearable state of mild depression and chronic disappointment. And so I meant to listen to the voice of reason, to pay attention to my friends. I meant to be cautious, to take care. Poetry: It Works! Alexander has said that he became aware of the power of poetry when he used it to successfully woo his wife in college. This post would not be complete if I didn’t share some wonderful crossover fiction for you to add to your Goodreads shelves.
