Surfing The Web

    •  helpful academic resource for writers?
    • Harvard
    • A biased source of news? (bias can be any political or ideological prejudice)
    • Fake News
    • A reliable source of news?
  • Reliable
    • A good site for online games
  • Happy Game Fun TIme
    • A good site for reviews or critiques of pop culture: games, music, food, fashion, film, books, tv, or other mass media products, etc.
  • Media News
These items that I have found are the only things I found even close to credible enough to include on my blog. The 1st link is a link to Harvard University's website on how to be an efficient author. The 2nd link was about the Fox News, which Donald Trump quotes as 'Fake News.' It took me quite a while to find reliable sources that were not blocked by the server.

Poem Draft

Alquasia Maye October 16, 2017 Mr.Craddock Poem Draft I’m 15 in a city, cold and clean. I wake early, go to sleep late. Born in Rochester, a place that’s stagnant. I am devoted to writing, a silent art spoken through words only I can relate to. I have One sister, annoying but mysterious. Hardly can stand her. I listen to a music with words no one but I can understand, their euphoric message pouring into the reserves of my mind. A new dream is for me, something exclusive to find. Of course, I don’t even know what I like to do anymore. Interests leave my mind, a mental flock of geese that leaves very day. BTS are the people I want to aspire to be, young, happy and free. Unfortunately, I have no clue what it means to be happy and free. I’m trapped in a dungeon with no means of escape. Entertainment, I have plenty. Video games, Music, Friends, and Food. The only things that can truly satisfy me. I, have no intentions to be any different as to

The media product that I find helpful is the iPhone. The reason I find this helpful is that it helps you contact family and friends from far places and it's much faster than writing the letter. The good the product does in my life is astronomical. It helps me do my homework when I'm stuck and helps me finds answers in a second or two. I like it because it provides me entertainment and it helps me get schoolwork done. It comes in all shapes and sizes so there's a perfect one for anyone. The media product that I think is harmful to the public is South Park. The reason why I think this is because it can cause people to form judgemental opinions which can cause public distress and other problems. Of course, people will say, "Well, if you don't like it don't watch it."

Video Game Video Analysis

I've watched a video called, Damsel in Distress Part 1, by Anita Sarkeesian. 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6p5AZp7r_Q&list=PLn4ob_5_ttEaA_vc8F3fjzE62esf9yP61 This video was about how the video game industry uses the trope that women were weak and particularly, had no control over the situation that I'm in. But, it also taught me a few new things, like yes the industry uses this trope but it uses it as a way to make people be more observant to the issues it does bring up. What was noteworthy to me was the fact that it literally robbed women of their chance to be their own hero, in other words, let the women figure things out for a change and do not depend on men so much. Another thing I found noteworthy is that they used an analogy. It went a little like this, the hero and the villain are obviously on opposite teams but the woman isn't on any team, she is the ball. In other words, she's being fought over. There are many advertisements that talk down to wome
