September 13, 2019

Although The Handmaid’s Tale is a novel originally published and set during the 80s, the T.V. Hulu show is set during modern times. Despite this, as Professor Bond pointed out on my Youtube Introduction, the overarching themes in The Handmaid’s Tale are overall the same. The Handmaid’s Tale is an aggressive and clear critique of …

For this challenge, I had to stare at my face in mirror for one minute and describe it as detailed and as honestly as I could! Freckles, freckles, and freckles are scattered around everywhere on her heart-shaped face. The tip of her nose, the bottom of her lips, and all about her forehead was littered …

This writing assignment calls for writing a scene from a movie from a different perspective. What is more fun than writing as the villain? The scene I’m interpreting is from the movie Tangled featuring Rapunzel and Mother Gothel. This scene takes place when Mother Gothel confronts Rapunzel alone in the woods to try to convince …

September 10, 2019

This writing assignment requires me to take the synopsis of a T.V. show, movie or book and rewrite the plot in a way where the plot is still factually the same, but feels very different. Here is my take: A young man named Marty gets into a pretty cool looking car but when he gets …

This week was enlightening to me in respect to how simple setting everything up actually is! I’m very nervous about having a YouTube and a SoundCloud because I’ve never broadcast myself in that way, but if it’s for storytelling, it might turn out to be fun. I’m already comfortable with twitter and instagram, and I’m…

Like most eras, the 80s are painted to be a blast. Fun fashion, rockin’ music, brand new amazing movies, and care-free teens. We romanticize the 80s and compress it into a modern aesthetic. I mean, look at all of the things from the 80s that are coming back! There are covers of popular 80s songs…
