Some novels and texts I have read are,  Complicit ,  The hate you give , and The absolutely true diary of a part-time indian would rate complicit six out of ten because it doesn’t have a very interesting story and , I would rate the hate you give 9out of ten because it has a great storyline describing realistic events, and I would rate the absolutely true diary of a part time indian five out of ten because it’s interesting but not the type of book I would usually read.

Of the texts I read so far I feel like I will annotate The Hate you Give.

My chosen text makes it suitable for the analysis because it has many literary techniques in it.

My concern about the text is that it’s more story-based and the literacy techniques are limited.

One thing I did well in the Socratic seminar is that I spoke clearly and fluently, and expressed my own ideas well.

I still need to work on using citations from the actual text, analyzing language usage in the book, and contributing more to the discussion. I know I need to improve on this because I’m weaker at these places on the rubric, and during the peer assessment Aaron told me I need to contribute more, as I only started contributing when people invite me in the discussion.

My goal for next time is to contribute more, cite more from the actual text, analyze the book just like the poetry essay, and listen to others better.

I will achieve these goals by preparing more before the discussion and focusing more during the discussion.

Beast Burger

A beast burger is a company created by Mr. Beast a big YouTuber. The beast burger shop is just a fast food shop that sells things like french fries, burgers, and things you would see in a fast-food restaurant. The Mr.Beast company was established on November 19 2020 and was established because they wanted to open a burger shop so they could make more money to use on youtube videos.

The target of the Beast Burger are children or people that watch his videos because he is a famous youtube so that leads people to think that they should try out this burger.

These are my twenty ideas.

This is the padlet.

This is one of my logo designs, it is a stencil of Mr beast wearing his iconic straw hat.

This was the first version of that design, I got peer feedback from chairs for this version and it was to make the mustache look better so in the other version the mustache looks much better. He also said that I should make another design.

I made another design of a wildcat biting o the letters of beast burger which turned out quite well.

Achieving success criteria

I have been able to achieve criteria 1 The logo is the face – its job is to create recognition for the brand. Its job is not to visibly show the product. My design allows the audience to recognize the person on my logo and recognize what brand this is. I have achieved the second criteria, Keep it flexible – the logo should be recognized at a tiny size (favicon) or if it’s distorted. I made my logo very tiny on affinity and can still recognize it. I have sketched twenty ideas. I did not do the fourth criteria (be geometric – start with simple shapes, this will ensure your logo is simple and functional) well. I did not start with simple shapes, the shape I started with is quite complex. The fifth criteria Start with black & white – this will ensure your logo is successful in its most basic form and doesn’t require color/effects I did well. I started with black and white and even after I finished the logo, it was still black and white. I kind of did the sixth criteria, I did use negative space with the face of the person on my logo to make it seem more human. The last one I can’t really tell if I did well or not because it is Test your logo – how recognizable is your logo from memory, or when made very small? I didn’t run tests with others, but I can recognize it and remember it myself because I spent hours making it. In the next lessons, I just need to get some peer feedback and alter my logo to meet the criteria of the feedback I get.

This is the presentation I made to inform the audience of my logo.

Complicit-Stephanie Khuen

The novel is set in America, it is written in the first person., it is realistic fiction. The main characters are James Henry the protagonist and Cate Henry his sister. James is a normal boy that has a seizure every now and then, Cate is his sister that does many bad things, so she gets sent to juvenile detention. The plot of the story revolves around his sister being let out of detention. Some choices the author has made have allowed the novel fast-paced, and thrilling, sometimes even surprising. The novel doesn’t connect with me much in real life, in fact, I and the main character are exact opposites. The main character is somewhat disabled and has a crazy sister. My sister is a college student in Melbourne that is completely normal. The main character’s personality is about him hating his life sometimes, and being depressed 30% of the time. The novel has made me realize that life compared to James’s is great, so I should be very glad about what I have. My prediction about the novel is that the main character successfully dates the girl he likes, and eventually becomes great friends with his sister or sends her to jail again.

In this project, everyone got assigned a design element and I got balance. This principle is basically about how symmetrical something is. For my design, I chose to make a person sitting on a bench shaped as a heartbeat. During the process I came up with three designs, the first one was shaped like a monster, the second one was a sad person, and the third one was a bunch of shapes.

This is my final design
