Key concepts in this essay

subjective enjoyment
sensory experience vs. convenience
audience demographic differences
immediacy and authenticity
accessibility and inclusivity

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Oversimplifying the comparison; treating 'enjoyment' as one-dimensional rather than considering different types of enjoyment or audience preferences
Relying on vague statements like 'more exciting' without explaining why or for whom
Missing discussion of legitimate advantages of television (accessibility, comfort, cost) and disadvantages of live performance (expense, logistics)
