    Assignment Bank #2

    by
    My next assignment was one I wasn’t very excited to do. I was looking for two four star assignments to complete the eight star requirement and this one seemed the most interesting to me. I have never used reddit and I am highly unfamiliar with it. First, I made an account. Then I was able to make a post. The assignment was to make a creepy story, and I had one in mind. A few years ago, my brother snuck out with his friends and called me saying he has just saw slenderman. I freaked out and ended up having a panic attack on my floor. There is nothing worse than hearing your greatest nightmare is a real thing. It was later revealed, however, it was just my brothers friends playing a prank on him. His friend had dressed up in a suit and was dropped off on the route their car would be taking. I chose to interpret this into a creepy story, and made it so that it would be just my brother and I actually encountering the real slenderman. After I wrote my story, I picked a community to categorize it under and I posted it. The website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. This assignment wasn’t necessarily hard, but it did take quite a while to complete due to the writing aspect. I would rate it 4 stars because of this. Check out my story and leave me a comment on if you liked it or not!

We’ll I loved this assignment and wanted another crack at humming a little bit more of a challenging song and seeing if you guys could guess which track it is.

    Revisiting My Work

    by
    For this assignment, we were supposed to go through our past work and recreate one. I chose to do the assignment bank where we had to tell the story of a movie with GIFS. This assignment, at first, caused me quite a bit of trouble. I remember wanting to create a barcode with hundreds of screenshots of a movie from the internet. This time around, I believe this assignment will be a lot easier. I feel like I have really gotten the hold of this class, and I couldn’t be more excited about that fact. This assignment is 5 stars. I do not think it is that difficult, however. There are many 5 star assignments that deserve the ranking, but I do not think this is one of them. I think this assignment is one of the most fun ones I’ve ever done, so I was exited to be able to redo it. Here is my original post: And without further ado, here is my new reworked assignment: This will be Bird Box told in GIFS: The movies starts off with a woman, Malorie, painting in her apartment. Her sister, Jessica, comes to take her to her appointment to check the well-being of her intended baby. They leave and set off for the doctors appointment. Everything seems to be going smoothly. The doctor talks to Malorie about her other options regarding the baby. Malorie shows signs of not wanting the baby, as she will be the only parent. Adoption is regarded as an option, and she is told to think about it. As they are leaving, things start to turn sour. They see a woman slamming her head against a glass pane. They rush to their car, and begin the drive home. However, things start to dramatically decline. People all over the streets are beginning to act crazy. There are constant car accidents, people acting possessed, and terror throughout the community. Then, Jessica starts to act the same way.. Jessica then begins to freak out, and ultimately crash the car. She proceeds to get out of the vehicle, look at her sister, and get hit by an incoming car. Malorie gets out of the car, and people from a nearby house save her and let her in. In this house, many things happen. They are stalled up for quite a while. The owner is very bitter, another pregnant woman enters the house, they leave to get supplies and encounter the thing that is basically possessing people quite a lot. Finally, a man enters the house, who eventually kills all but Malorie, Malories love interest Tom, and two children. One being her own child, and one being the other pregnant woman’s. Malorie then sets off on a journey across a body of water with deathly rapids. It is proven that you have to see a specific thing to be possessed, so blindfolds are a key to survival throughout the movie. It is then revealed that Tom is killed, in order to save Malorie and the two children. After many hard decisions, near death experiences, and struggles, they arrive to their destination. It is a school for the blind, where they are said to be safe. They take off their blindfolds, and begin their new life. This assignment was just as easy as I remembered it being. In order to complete it, all I had to do was type into google “Bird Box GIFS” and pick the ones I wanted to use. Every now and then I would type in a key word after to refine the search. I found almost every GIF I wanted (besides one) and then I just put it in this post and added a synopsis to each. I love being able to create a short synopsis while also bringing some live to it with GIFs.

    Secret Agent Exclusive Group

    by
    For this 3 and half star assignment I will be explaining how the secret agent exclusive group came together. It all started in Washington, DC in 2018 as there were 3 retired secret agents who live together in a house where people can’t track them. They loved to reminisce and try to relive there glory…

    Keamo vs Grango

    by
    For this 5 star assignment I had to have a phone call conversation with myself. The plot was that there was a hilarious past between Secret agent Keamo and Grango. Keamo’s arch nemesis Grango would always try to pull tricks and pranks on Keamo and Grango would always lose. Grango was simply annoying. It’s simple,…
