Thesis directions

1. GTA can provide people with an alternative life while they are playing

Thats not exactly whatI am trying to say, but I want to focus on how these games can let people live out a life of action and danger that they can not live in real life. For example, if a kid is always getting harrased in real life, he can go play a video game and be the big man in the game. The game provides a portal to escape real life.

2. While playing GTA, a player can choose how to conduct his life.

By this I mean that players are not always forced to kill and rob people in the game. They can live there life in many different ways. I believe the game encourages the player to conduct a violent life style, but does not force it.

3. GTA is a game that relies on the choices a player makes and the consequences they entail.

Every action in GTA has a reaction. Whether a descion you make changes the story line, or gets you arrested, all descisions you make in the game change something. Most of these changes are small, but some can effect you very much.
