My Favorite Photo

Image
 This is my favorite picture that I have taken this year. My family and I went camping in Jemez Springs, NM. Along the way there is The Gilman Tunnels, it's pretty cool. I have a slight interest in photography. This was shot on my iPhone but is still one of the best pictures I've captured.

Conflict

Conflict in “She’s a Flight Risk” and “The Dionaea House” After reading “She’s a Flight Risk” it was different than reading a book. If I am being honest, I’ve never really read a blog. I’ve learned that there are so many blogs out there. I randomly chose this one. It caught my attention as the first post reads, "On March 2, 2003 @4:12pm, I disappeared. My name is isabella v., but it’s not. I'm twentysomething and I am an international fugitive." The conflict is that isabella has escaped her arranged marriage and her life. Who is isabella v.? Is that her real name? What was her life like? There are so many questions I had while reading this blog. At the same time, I thought to myself, I would want to escape my arranged marriage as well. As the blog goes on, it’s very diary like. Which I like to read. You get to know the person and what they are thinking. Further along she had revealed that the war in Iraq had started. She also assumed that it would be safer to web log than

"She's A Flight Risk"

"Shes A Flight Risk"(2003) serves as a blog which is really diary like. The conflict in this blog shows isabella v., a woman wanting to get away from her arranged marriage and life.  The conflict in the first post helps draw attention towards the blog making the reader more interested. I was hooked on to the first post which reads, "On March 2, 2003 @4:12pm, I disappeared. My name is isabella v., but its not. I'm twentysomething and I am an international fugitive." It had been mentioned in Bryan Alexanders book. The blogs I've read was found on Esquire.com, with a reporter who had allegedly met the real isabella v. But they're are no evidence that it was indeed her. So far, its been great to read.  https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a452/esq1003-oct-isabella/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/3guxwv/for_something_slightly_differentwho_was_isabella_v/

My Interest in Storytelling

I am taking this class because it was suggested to me by my advisor. I am majoring in Computer Information Systems with a concentration in Digital Media. Altthough, this class was suggested to me, I am very excited to learn more about storytelling and how to story tell.  Growing up in a native household, I have stories that my elders have told me. I would like to be able to tell my children when they get older. I hope this class will help me do that. Also, I hope to use some creativity and learn at the same time.  I hope everyone is staying safe during this pandemic! Good luck everyone.
