Here is my Literacy Narrative, revised. This whole literacy narrative assignment allowed me to explore a couple of the learning objectives for this class. The first was being able to synthesize and analyze writing. For some of this assignment I was just looking at my own writing, but it was interesting to have to look […]
Read moreI think that the parts of a comic represent what we have covered in class. The borders represent our foundation of our literacy narratives. The narration represents Professor Morgen’s guidance with the books we read. The characters represent us students and the discussions we would have in class. The space between panels shows how much […]
Read moreHere is my mixtape. The playlist is titled “#”, which is sometimes used as a symbol for number, as all of the songs in the playlist have numbers as the title. Songs in order (Title – Artist – Length): I have always wanted to create a fun playlist like this, one that is only based […]

I only had three pages to make and I changed the layout many times, so I cannot imagine how people decide […]
Read moreHere is The Price of Personal Perception. Both Spinning and Stitches explore themes of adolescence and perception, but Stitches addresses the connection between how we perceive ourselves internally and how people perceive us externally, therefore Small understands more thoroughly how he wants to be perceived. Because Small is many years removed from when this novel takes place, whereas Walden has barely moved […]
