Technology Overview

The technology options in this class seemed very intimidating at first. Juggling multiple websites (blog, storybook, branching stories) along with multiple other graphic design and informational sites definitely intimidated me. However, after taking a moment to examine the options, the technology options are much less scary. I have kept a blog, created a website, used Canva, and explored other tech opportunities for other classes, so this list is (luckily for me) mostly a list of things I've done before. Also, having taken a Digital Composing class which focused on ease of use through dual-stream reading techniques, I'm hoping to make my online content pretty easy to read or browse.
 
Hopefully, I can inject some life into my blog posts and other online content for this class. (Source)

We'll see how it all turns out. I am especially intrigued by the Twine option for creating choose-your-own-adventure branching stories. That's super cool!

Introduction to Alex the English Major

Hi, everyone! My name is Alex Crayon, and I'm from Kansas City, Missouri, home of the best barbecue in the world. I'm an English Writing major with minors in Spanish and Classical Culture, and I hope to continue my education by getting a Master's degree from OU and then a PhD from wherever will take me. I aspire to be a college professor of English of some sort, and maybe, someday, a published author of fiction. The best class I took last semester was World Literature 1700-Present, taught by Dr. Amit Baishya. This class was really interesting because it forced me to read outside my comfort zone and engage with texts written by authors from all over the world. The book I enjoyed reading the most in that class is The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes  by Jamyang Norbu. It's basically glorified fanfiction, and thus incredible. Though I can't pin down one book to call my favorite, there are a few that stand out (in no specific order): 1. Homer's Iliad 2. Georg

Week 5 Story: The Conversation

"So that's it, then?" "Yeah." "Let me get this clear, so that I can curse you properly before I die. You're dumping me after I was just proven pure by the gods, banishing me and our unborn twin children to the forest, and by all counts, leaving us to die. That's what you're doing." "It is the only logical course of action, Sita." "Alright, Spock. Logical how?" "You are the only one who has ever made be behave illogically, Sita. Chasing Maricha as the golden deer; leading an army agains Ravana when you could have returned safely with Hanuman; these are just two examples of how you make me behave against my perfect nature." "I don't make you behave any way. You're a big boy, Rama. And Hanuman should have waited up. He had too much fun razing the city, and he forgot to come back for me." "It was all for my glorification, Sita." "Tell that to the thousands of dead
