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.

Literacy Project Reflection

The poster you see right below is what I made for my literacy project. There were other options for this project, such as making a video or creating/leading a twitter campaign. I didn't choose those options for what I believe to be pretty good reasons. Why I hadn't chosen to make a video was due to how it had been months since I had used an editing software, plus the last time I tried using it, it didn't work. As for the twitter campaign, that would have required me to have some level of social skill, meaning that I am unaware of how to make any kind impact via social media. With those other options in mind as not being right for me, it seemed correct to go along with making a poster. Besides, it would have been good practice for some other classes I am taking. As you can see, the poster has a stark but smooth design in which the books are the focus. Those books in question are the very same as the required reading for the Contemporar...

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...

This I Believe

Audio and voice recording >> I believe in the uniqueness of different countries’ societies; the differences in everyday occurrences that people endure. I believe in how life can be complete opposites for citizens of different countries. From the ages of two to eleven I lived in Tokyo, Japan. My family was one in a million, an all American family in a pool of Asians, Europeans, and Africans. I lived my life day to day being unable to understand what most of the other people were saying in languages other than English. I spent my time with bi-lingual friends who would oftentimes speak to their families in their native tongue while I sat back and waited for them to speak English again. It wasn’t weird and I didn’t question it because it was all I knew. I would walk through crowds of Japanese people saying things I did not understand and not even acknowledge that I couldn’t tell what they were saying. This was life for me....
