Max Roberts “Kingdom Hearts III”: Precis
	In the editorial, “Kingdom Hearts III is Making My 12-Year-Old Dreams Come True in 2019” (2019), Max Roberts emphasizes the personal importance and impact that a particular game can have. Roberts demonstrates this connection by informing us the duration he has been waiting (12 years) and has purchased several gaming systems (“Kingdom Hearts is why I got a PSP and a 3DS” ) simply to continue playing games in his favourite series of video games. He makes sure to include these details in order to bring into scope the passion Roberts has for this series; Roberts’ diction is what most clearly brings forth his purpose as he utilizes vibrant descriptions and an appeal to rose-tinted nostalgia in order to clearly project his excitement. This editorial seems to appear as a somewhat personal reflection on Roberts’ connection to the series, but one that is vocalized as readers themselves connect with Roberts’ descriptions; the audience would seem to be such a reader that would relate to the nostalgic tone that Roberts’ establishes to celebrate his passion.
