“There’s No Game” Game Response

The game I chose is Mario Kart. Since it is a more fun-play game, it doesn’t really have a set story line to it. You go on and you race, trying to place the highest as possible every round. If I have to put a message to it, it would be about competition racing inContinue reading ““There’s No Game” Game Response”

“King’s Quest IV” Game Response

Compared to Zork I, I actually enjoyed King’s Quest. The difference between the two is pretty obvious. One was all text and the other had visuals. And I have to say the visuals in King’s Quest made the game experience much more enjoyable. For a 1992 game, there were some actual detailed visuals. First off, from the intro, oneContinue reading ““King’s Quest IV” Game Response”

“Zork” Game Response

To be honest, this game was simply so frustrating. I made it down to the basement and defeated the troll and became completely lost in the tavern and everything. I didn’t know where I was going half the time. Eventually, I gave up because, by that time, I was starting to pull out my hair.Continue reading ““Zork” Game Response”

Literary Inquiry Choice

For the final literary inquiry paper, I have chosen the book “Children of Blood and Bone” by Tomi Adeyemi. Out of all the literature we have read, the style of writing and literature present in this book has garnered the most interest in me and still very much does. Surprisingly, I can’t seem to forgetContinue reading “Literary Inquiry Choice”

Why Children’s Books are for Grownups too?

I am a firm supporter for children’s book and literacy in young kids. My experience with children’s book when I was younger was just fantastic. I loved them. So, in order to help promote children’s love for children’s book, I bought mini-sized chairs and painted them bright colors to welcome and encourage reading among theContinue reading “Why Children’s Books are for Grownups too?”

Understanding Rhetoric

Rhetoric is very persuasive. In some ways, a person’s rhetoric is a part of them, and one can learn much by observing it. In “Understanding Rhetoric,” the focus of rhetoric is placed on one’s speech and writing. However, rhetoric can be seen in one’s appearance through the power of makeup. The way a person wearsContinue reading “Understanding Rhetoric”

Some Assumptions about Fantasy

In “Some Assumptions about Fantasy”, Ursula K. Le Guin notes that too many characters of fantasy literature are white. Despite its money-making capabilities, today’s political climate does not allow for this. If not corrected, the genre will be criticized heavily. In order to protect its reputation, fantasy needs to develop diverse characters. In recent years,Continue reading “Some Assumptions about Fantasy”

Introducing Myself through Fantasy

Fantasy? If it were a person, I would consider myself merely an acquaintance. Fantasy has many layers to it, and as a 19-year-old college student in a STEM major, I have only been able to peel very few of those layers. My experience with fantasy is very much limited. Still, my rare exposure to itContinue reading “Introducing Myself through Fantasy”
