"a devil of a boy... fired an arrow at him... [and] the arrow lodged in the fieldmaster's eye and he went right over, so badly wounded that he died three days later. We carved the boy into a thousand pieces" (34).

This game would be an interesting moral choose your adventure path. It would allow the player to change the ways of Catalina de Erauso and rewrite their hurtful actions. I feel like it would also be very educational on their impact on history.

By using negative quotes from Catalina de Erauso's autobiography titled, "Lieutenant Nun" and realistic quotes from this week's article written by Kalhan Rosenblatt from NBC titled "HBO's 'The Last of Us' adaptation is a milestone for LGBTQ Gamers", I am demonstrating the importance of positive images in literature. This is because literature is a very influential medium and can sway large populations to believe certain concepts that can be harmful. This has been seen throughout history on several occasions. Part of this is observed in Catalina de Erauso's account of her questionable actions. These sources provide one with a holistic view of the struggles the different minority communities face within all forms of literature and how it can be confronted through education and a proper understanding of each other.

There are certain book series that allow one to "choose their own adventure". However, this is not common in literature and is a differing point between the two

Example of positive representations in digital literature from this week's article

"“Media shouldn’t ignore the very real hardships that LGBTQ people face in the world today, but it’s equally important to convey hate, discrimination — these things are not intrinsic to the human condition,” she said. “These things don’t have to exist.”"
