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 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".

TEDxCL Reflection

This Ted Talk is about how little actions can have large effects. It also focuses on how many little actions can bind together also have a large effect. Reflection What I Knew (And didn’t know about my topic when I started out) The idea of cause and effect (I believe) is very prominent within our everyday lives, so of course, I knew how to bring it into my presentation. However, the idea of causality was new to me but was nonetheless interesting to bring into the presentation. Along with "cause and effect", I already knew the schools of philosophy I brought up (Existentialism, Relativism, Determinism) due to another thing I already knew about, the show "The Good Place". Then there's also the whole idea of cause and effect within physics and ethics. The ideas are brought up quite often in my life, probably due to how I go to U of D. Why I Selected This Topic ...

Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore Review
