    Underneath the Surface

    by
    Today I watched The Breakfast Club (1985) for the very first time, and let me tell you, it was a ride I wasn’t totally expecting—in a good way! After watching it, I thought about how it would relate to the videos and readings for this week about storytelling. Since there was nothing about hyperlinking, the […]

    I’m Having an Old Friend for Dinner

    by
    I knew almost immediately that I wanted to use this prompt as one of the “80’s Themed” writing topics because having dinner with my guest would be a dream come true. Originally, I thought about writing this as if I was attending dinner at her house but then realized that the thought of a celebrity …

    What. A Week. 3.

    Thinking of Bigfoot, I think of legendary creatures like Cerberus, the three-headed dog, present in Harry Potter, my favorite series ever! So, for today’s Daily Create I chose to show how the legend of the Grim is shown in Harry Potter and the Prison...

    You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.

    by
    In 1985, the classic film “The Breakfast Club” sent five high school students to all-day attention, where they wrote those words about themselves. The film is excellent, showing the cultural values of idealism, family, and fear. The Breakfast Club addresses stereotyping very well. It shows how everyone’s lives are different and that everyone has this fear of … Continue reading "You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal."

    Story analysis of The Goonies: Growing up, my mom showed my sister and me one of her favorite movies of the ’80s; The Goonies, which came out in 1985. It is a romantic/adventurous movie with a lot of action. If you have not seen this movie I would highly recommend it because it reminds me …

    Storytelling

    by
    The story behind this video is really cheerful. It shows how an artist and their songs can bring many people together. The Thriller by Michael Jackson is a classical song that is remembered to this decade. People all over the world continue to dance to this song as you can see in this video. But […]

    Week Three

    by
    I started the week off my reading and watching the videos that were posted on the class site. I found them super interesting and liked that I was able to relate what I learned back to things I use everyday. I especially liked the video on the plot graphs of movies. I thought the video had a lot of humor to it which make it more fun to watch. I decided to talk about the movie Sixteen Candles and write a review on its storytelling. I love the movie so it was super easy for me to dissect it and […]

    i mean, it was a movie

    by
    Story analysis time (ft spoilers for the 1985 Clue movie)! Woo! The story I chose to work with for this week was the 1985 Clue movie. I was scrolling through Showtime’s (pretty pitiful, if I do say so myself) collection of 1980’s movies, and, having just watched Knives Out, was in a murder mystery mood […]

    What’s behind that door?

    by
    Today for the final daily creates assignment the prompt was to post what was behind the door. So what I wish was behind the door was a Post Malone concert. I want to go to one but also that would be the best thing to open a door to.
