For example, at the beginning of the movie as Charlie looks up at the crow as it flies away, it is easier to visualize the crow flying away as it's feathers fall. It really helps to emphasize how long Charlie watches this happen. The animation flows extremely well with the songs from the Secret Path album. ]]> 2018-02-28 17:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/236556483 wrenh https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237587466 In my opinion the music without the visuals was less like a regular song you'd hear on the radio. It was like a novel being read to you, where the author uses substantial rhythm. To me, it was like reading a novel. It allowed me to imagine Charlie doing things while adding my own twist. Not only did I get to imagine Charlie doing these things, I imagined his surroundings reacting to the music, like trees dancing to the beat of the songs or people singing the words in the songs rather than just speaking.]]> 2018-03-02 19:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237587466 wrenh https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237590638 The first things that you see when opening the website is the Secret Path movie, as well as a list of the people who contributed to this project. "Statement by Gord Downie" follows this in bold, capital lettres, as well as the place -Okogi Post, Ontario- and date -september 9th, 2016- that this happened. What first strikes me is how well everything flows together and really seems to harmonize. From the background, to the movie link, to the fonts used it seems like everything belongs. I believe that the purpose of this website is to give readers a glimpse of the story, and all of the medias it crosses. I think the website does this very well, at the very top it tells you each different form this story comes in and when you click them it brings you to a small example and a new illustration. I believe the way that the website presents this really works and presents it as one story.]]> 2018-03-02 20:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237590638 wrenh https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237601180 In this article the author describes Charlie as just a normal twelve year old, about to turn thirteen. The author writes of Charlie fondly, which was probably controversial at this time. It seems like during the time of Charlie's death the world wasn't quite ready to accept indigenous people as humans. Before I read this article, I noticed it's date of publication: 1967. This made me assume it would be short, and maybe slightly racist but what I read was the opposite. I loved the authors sympathetic tone while writing this article, he seemed truly sad for this little boy and his family, even if the rest of Canada wasn't. I believe that this text differs from the graphic novel because the author of the online article was sad, while the family of Charlie were likely angry about how Charlie had died. ]]> 2018-03-02 20:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237601180 wrenh https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237605885 I believe that this novella by Joseph Boyden captured Charlie in a way that the graphic novel could not. The way that Boyden changes his voice and tone to fit that of a little indigenous boy not fluent in English is something that I don't believe could ever be captured in illustration. One connection that really stood out for me was the chapter names "Crow" I find it interesting that there is a crow in the graphic novel that is focused on for a few panels as well. ]]> 2018-03-02 20:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237605885 wrenh https://padlet.com/wrenh/i0hdw0vopepg/wish/237609163 “The Lonely Death of Chanie Wenjack.” Edited by Ian Adams, Macleans, 22 Oct. 2017, www.macleans.ca/society/the-lonely-death-of-chanie-wenjack/.
