Favorite Narrator

1. Who is your favorite narrator? What is your favorite narration?
I don't exactly have a favorite narrator, nor do I really have a favorite book, but I guess my favorite narrator would be that of my current favorite book. This book was Between the Shades of Gray, and the narrator was the writer, Ruta Sepetys, since it was about herself.

2. Tell readers about the novel and the narration.
The book was about how she and her family were abducted by Russians from their home in Lithuania, and their journey through the horrible treatment given to them. It's not a happy story, but as a reader you always find yourself rooting for Ruta and her family. She explains all the events in great detail, even when you don't want her to.

3. Why is this your favorite? Why might others appreciate it as well?
I'm really not sure why this is my favorite book/narration because it doesn't make me feel good or happy, just sad. I guess it's the intrigue of hoping everything turns out well. I believe everyone or at least most people just want others to be okay (I hope), and that's possibly why this is a book that draws people in. I will note now that the fact the book is written by the narrator spoils how it ends, just vaguely that is.

Infographic Debate Project - Offensiveness Behind Sports Team Names

Description: My infographic showcases how sports teams that use Native American names are seen as offensive. I give the viewer some quotes from readers of an article that all agree with how these teams names and mascots offend and flat out insult Native Americans. I then showcase graphs that represent the percentage of voters based on certain questions, relating to the football team "The Redskins", asked to them. For my last bit of information, I refer any viewers of my infographic to the leading organizations responsible for the cause of changing offensive sport team names while also giving a brief description of each. Reflection: Michael Argenta and I chose this topic for our infographic debate project because we both believed there would be enough information for us to each argue either side of the main question. Since my partner said he could go either way with the project, I decided to choose the more obvious side of the argument since I believed hi...

Literacy Program Project Proposal

Short Proposal: For this project, I intend on doing a poster campaign. Detailed Proposal: This poster campaign will take place in three different locations in the school, one for each wing of the building. Each poster I intend on looking the same, but in my head, the base design will still pop out. It will consist of a title near the top to lure in any that choose to look at the boards these will be posted on. The base design, as previously noted, will pop out due to a more abstract approach with colors that are complementary in a graphic design-ish format. On the poster(s) there will be boxes of text, or just text, that will promote the message of the project, "read".

Please Ignore Vera Dietz Book Review

Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King can only be described as an experience. The book follows 17-year-old Vera Dietz in a journey of self-discovery starting with the death of her best friend Charlie Kahn. Although the cause of his death was seemingly known, only Vera knows what really happened to Charlie. This story follows her through two separate timelines, one of her past experiences in chronological order and the other of the present, that both contribute towards understanding her thought process as it leads up to the climax of her decision to either tell about or keep secret about the true circumstances of Charlie’s death. The plot that is described in a variety of different perspectives sends the reader on a wild thought process that leaves them confused as to whether or not Vera will come clean about the mysterious death of her longtime friend. The experience that is this book leaves a sense of pride and sympathy for the characters within the novel, and isn’t that all that’s re...
