I chose the Disney film, The Lion King, for this assignment because of how Simba’s emotions go all over the place due to being conflicted. To create this model, I just used the program, Paint , and create a few straight lines and bent them to how  the story went. The lowest sections represent when Simba saw his father die and when he refuses to return to his home. The highest points are when  Simba is goofing around in the beginning of the film, when he meets Timon and Pumbaa, when he meets Nala again and eventually has a cub with her.

I have to say that I enjoyed Vonnegut’s approach to storytelling. Most stories do seem to end with some sort of happy ending at first glance. I am curious as to why he didn’t choose a story that didn’t end with a happy ending as an example for when he was creating the outline.

This video is an animation of a webshow called the Game Grumps. The context is that the Grumps were playing the game Sonic Adventure DX and were given the task to catch a frog named Froggy. This is considered a digital story because the artist is animating a section from the webshow and adding their own  vision to it. Basically, he’s retelling the story in his own way because the viewers of said webshow can’t actually see the people talking. By using his artistic and editing skills, he recreated the story and was able to get it out to other people by just uploading his retelling of the story to YouTube.
