I focused on using pauses and spaces to create a cinematic mood and add emphasis to my text.]]> 2021-11-29 16:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1918382291 StupidCry https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1918385198 In this essay, I talk about why the dialogue in The Mark of Athena is so crucial to the story, while deconstructing the examples I give. I focus on using evidence to support my ideas.]]> 2021-11-29 16:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1918385198 StupidCry https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1918535785 In this slideshow, I wrote creative pieces in the form of vignettes and poems which were modeled off the novel House on Mango Street. There are three vignettes (My Name, Identity Event, Coming of Age) and three poems (Bio Poem, Racism, 10 Years Old). In each piece, I focused on adding figurative language and using quality words to convey a certain mood.  ]]> 2021-11-29 17:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1918535785 StupidCry https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1918541380 This is a nonfiction piece where I compare topics from the vignette "My Name" and the article "The Power of Names." I discuss how words/names can have hidden meanings and how simple names are viewed more positively. I used text evidence from both the vignette and the article to support my ideas.]]> 2021-11-29 17:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1918541380 StupidCry https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1919177095 In this nonfiction piece, I discuss how gender stereotypes negatively impact society, how gender roles are portrayed in House on Mango Street, and form predictions on how these gender roles and stereotypes could impact characters from HOMS in the future. I used text evidence from the article and story to support my ideas.]]> 2021-11-29 23:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/1919177095 StupidCry https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/2100223897 Using the story Children of Virtue and Vengeance, I created a short story. In this story, I start in the middle of one chapter and slowly expand on Zélie and Inan's relationship, and why Zélie and Amari have such conflicting opinions when it comes to the future of the maji. This connects to the original story not only because it uses original excerpts to make it feel like part of the actual book, but it also takes a pre-existing setting and uses the description to its advantage - the setting is a jungle, so I interpreted there being a cave somewhere, which would be the perfect setting for conflict. My favorite scene is Zélie's flashback, specifically when she says to Inan, "Don't apologise. Just act. We've got people to avenge."]]> 2022-03-17 14:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/StupidCry/eva_youngblood_writing_p5/wish/2100223897
