The first comparison is from the movie Sydney White with Amanda Bynes, which is a direct comparison to the 1937 Disney movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The second comparison is from the show The Simpsons, which depicts Mr. Burns and Smithers performing an experiment on Santa's Little Helper. This is a direct comparison to the Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange. The last comparison is from the movie Lilo and Stitch in which Lilo is talking to her sister Nani and behind Nani, you can see a movie poster for the Disney movie Mulan, which is a subtle Easter Egg. Intertextuality is when one text makes a reference or comparison to another text either directly or indirectly. The three types of intertextuality are indirect (optional), direct (obligatory), and accidental. Indirect (optional) intertextuality is when filmmakers are inspired by other works made before. The audience can understand what inspired the filmmaker, but it is not important to the interpretation of the story. Direct (obligatory) intertextuality is when the filmmakers make comparisons or reference other texts on purpose, like Easter Eggs or "fan service." Accidental intertextuality is when the author did not intend to make a comparison between text, but relies on the audience to make those connections.

Look at a magazine cover. What can you tell about the type of magazine it is; what kinds of articles it contains; who is likely to read it? Why? This magazine by The Rolling Stone is most likely read by music fans and fans of the Beatles. On the cover, you see The Beatles, (from left to right) George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr. I noticed that George Harrison and John Lennon, who have passed away, are wearing white shoes, while Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, who are still alive, are wearing black shoes. The main title is weaved into the picture right behind the band's heads. The main article 'Why the Beatles Broke Up' is sure to get the reader interested because The Beatles were a worldwide sensation and many people are interested as to how they split apart. Also, underneath the main article name, it says the words 'The Inside Story' which means they have first hand experiences which makes the reader more intrigued in the magazine. And, because this magazine was released in 2009, a long time after they broke up, you will more readers of an older generation who grew up with them as well as younger generations who have a love for The Beatles as well. The picture used for the cover is in black and white, which most likely means that this photograph was taken in the 60's or 70's and while they were together.
