My character is a person who lives between opinions, by which means he’s most of the time neutral. He gone through all French Revolution. Life was hard during the revolution, but at the end, he got his own happiness.

Life was bard during the revolution. My character had gone through all three turning points in French Revolution history. Including the found of National Assembly, the death of Louis XVI, and the rise of Napoleon. French revolution is one of the revolutions that really changed the idea of historian and the whole world. French revolution was defiantly worth it.

This is my infographic for Task #7 humanities. I spend about two hours making this infographic, mostly about thinking how I want to let my audience know what kind of a man Robespierre was. In this infographic, I have politic governor’s point of view of how they see Robespierre as a Villain, but also how citizens and even them him self’s point of view. At the end I have some facts about France economy (GDP), so we can see what impacts did Robespierre made to the economy of France before his death. And a clear definition of what exactly is a Hero and a Villain.

War Communism started at 1918 with the Civil War. Trading were banded during that time. Farmers have no income. Peasants started to rebel, they named them self the whites. The Whites were defeated in 1920 with in Trotskys lead. The next year Lenin ended the War Communism and created the new economy policy. 1921 was the worse year. Big starvation after the new economy policy. All effected my character. He is a solider. And he and all peasants did not live well during the time in between 1917-1925. 

 

I think the revolution was worth it. Because at the end Stalin became a really good leader and made the Soviets one of the most powerful country during that time. So nothing is going to happen if Lenin overthrown the Provisional Government or Nicolas II. So the February and October revolutions are all worth it.

B. PROMPTS FOR MULTIMEDIA RESPONSES

6. Design a book cover. 

The book The 13th Floor is a really interesting book, telling the theme about how addicting games can be. This book is written by Scott R. Welvaert. In this book Sam and his friend got addicted to a game call The 13th Floor. (Spoil alert) Later on in the book, Sam’s friends died or got crazy one by one. Sam can not escape from the addiction, then later drives him self crazy as well.

This book is a book with quite a few bloody scene. The original cover was a doctor(the antigenes) standing inside a building. This whole book is exaggerating how dangerous games can be, and I think the original book cover did not show the author’s exaggeration work. That’s why I decided to make my book cover in a more horrific mood. The kid looking at the TV at night, the font and color of the words, and how the title were design all trying to give a mood of scariness.

Now the book have a theme of “game addiction”. In Page 65, when Mack got crazy about the game, “‘You don’t understand’ he yelled. ‘He’s everywhere. Computers. Phones. My head.’ Makc pointed tobhis head. ‘He won’t stop until I finish the game!'” Mack is saying that he have to finish the game. In author’s writing, he using an exaggeration, or more precisely telling the readers that game addiction or any addiction can not be changed by your decision, the thing that’s making your addict is making the decision. In page 50 the author wrote the theme again by saying, “‘Well, wake up,’ she said. ‘Life is not like a video game, Sam. There is no rest button. No respawn. No do-overs.'” Also in page 31, “‘What I found was … addicting isn’t it?'” All claimed that game addictions are not good.

 

Overall as a gamer I realized that I should spend more time on other useful things. This book is really nice book. It’s short so it should just take about three days to read at most.

Do boxer rebellion deserve bad reputation?

Yes, boxer rebellion deserve bad reputation.

 

Although if people say that they are reason. People who believe that boxers do not deserve bad reputation are wrong. Boxers deserve bad reputation. The war that the country lost was about the country. The citizens of the country should not intervene. The result of boxer rebellion getting wild are the large amount of deaths, and the big economic lost from China to Western Nations. The boxer rebellions do deserve bad reputation also because of the things they did. The boxers thought that the Christianity churches are the bad guys, so they killed thousands of missionary and Christians.

I choose to do Demetrius is because he is a man with very strong emotions. First he have really strong and clear thinking. In Act 1 he have only one line, his line was clear. He said he have got more rights to Hermia than Lysander. Egeus and Theseus like Demetrius a lot, but Hermia and Lysander doesn’t like him at all.

My poem is about characteristic and I’m writing about Mrs.White. Mrs. White have a really interesting characteristic in the story. Interesting to watch how she changes over time, also the reaction she made from different terrible things that happened to her. “My boy! My boy!”, this quote shows how she love her son. In my poem I showed how Mrs.White changes from lovely to madly over time.

I love playing songs and instruments

I love the feeling when I get better

Always flowing to the future

Yet constantly ebbing back

Watching the experience I had passed through

 

I used the word flowing because it matches with the second word I used ebb. The third word I used is constantly, I want to show how I regularly think of those memories.
