Since I have been working on my website about dogs (https://gloriao.design.blog/ ), I wanted to write about some advice for future Multimedia Applications students or some things I wish I had known at the beginning of the website building process. My advice to those building a website would be to make sure to pay attention in class when going over the aspects of wordpress and features of a website. It is helpful to be knowledgeable about blocks and blocking techniques,…
My website is about dogs: https://gloriao.design.blog/ I chose this topic as I have a passion for animals, and I would love to put together an informative site including information about picking, owning, interacting, courting, and training a dog, along with some sections that are my narrative experiences of my job with dogs.
My ‘That Was I’ poem inspired by the ‘That Was I’ poem by Ted Kooser. Written August 23rd, 2019. i was the little girl you saw with her nose stuck in books, whose mother did her hair, in skirts and lace socks, the neighbor elderly women became nannies for me and my siblings, the four of us growing our collection of different brands of toys, we ate egg sandwiches, and held hands during family prayers. that was i. …
Gloria Ovwigho Mrs. Jank English 2, Block 8 12 February 2018 The Perception of the Disabled In our society today, those with disabilities are often seen as disposable. It is frequently debated whether the disabled should have a place in our society. Over the years, stereotypes have developed about the disabled and these stereotypes contribute to them being devalued, and therefore, mistreated or isolated and not given any regards. This disposability is evident in the dehumanization and discrimination…
Gloria Ovwigho Hotel Rwanda Reaction English 2, Block 8 After watching the movie Hotel Rwanda, I have gained a lot of insight on the meaning and context of disposability and have realized just how horrific the Rwandan genocide was. All throughout the movie, the concept of the disposability of people was shown, like the constant comparison of the Tutsis to cockroaches. They are seen as worthless and the Hutus want to “exterminate the vermin.” The soldiers are aggressive with no…
American Dream Literature Connections A prevalent theme of American Dream literature is the unachievable aspect of the dream and its effects, such as the disappointment and defeated feeling that follows. Crooks, Lennie, and Willy are just some of the characters that demonstrate this and show other connections between different texts. The authors of these various texts create an understanding of the American Dream, including how it affects their actions, how some are excluded from it, and ultimately,…
After reading Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, I have a new perspective on the American Dream. First, however, I will discuss my thoughts on the story. I am not the biggest fan of this book. The majority of the novel is dialogue, and not much action. It is hard for me to identify what the climax was, or any other part of the plot. The majority of the dialogue is yelling and it’s hard to follow. It’s is…
Of Mice and Men Reaction After reading Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, I have gained insight on the development of the American Dream during different parts of history. I don’t like the development of the book, or the non-development, and I think the ending was for the most part, satisfying, and I wasn’t too surprised by it. I’m not the biggest fan of this book. I adore Steinbeck’s characterization, the settings he creates, and his descriptions. However, the…

Author’s Note This is my final draft! I have developed my story a lot since my first draft – I added a couple pages and changed parts of the plot. My inspiration for this story was detasseling, as this will most likely become apparent after reading my piece. My goal is that you, as a reader, will find parts of my story sinister and can empathize with the mood of the story. I hope that the foreshadowing I use is…
