My First Erasure Poem

-
I found this activity to actually be quite entertaining. I will say I did find it to be somewhat of a challenge, trying to find words that work together that are all on the same page. For mine I tried to say how the advancements of technology would take hold of the world but no matter how advanced the human race gets humanity still remembers its roots. For the design I was just randomly making connections and shapes, Then I used a different color to show in what order the words should read.

Distant Reading

-

Distant reading is taking a large body of text or database and looking at it as a whole and finding patterns within the writing. I find distant reading to be more interesting than close reading and it reveals a lot of information. This information would be very difficult to find out without the use of the Voyant tool. Voyant can be used for a variety of data including articles, lyrics, and books for example. I have used Voyant before once for the book Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft and I found the data to be very helpful and revealing as well. This time however I am doing a distant reading of my own blog so it will be a little weird doing a distant reading on my own writing. The first thing that I look at after entering in the data I am performing the distant reading on is the word cloud as it tends to be the thing that pops out the most. A word cloud is a great visualization as it very easy to understand. From this, I can tell that my most used words are data and time. T...

The Thin Blue Line is a true-crime documentary where an innocent man was falsely accused and convicted for the murder of a police officer. The innocent man was Randall Adams. David Harris was the 16-year-old boy who got Randall Adams involved in the murder of the policeman. Randall Adams was out of gas and was walking to a gas station when David Harris offered him a ride in a stolen car. David Harris was then pulled over by a police officer without thinking David Harris rolled down the window and shot the officer dead. The partner of the policeman was believed to still be in the car at the time of the first shot. David Harris had most of his charges for multiple crimes lifted because of his young age. The filmmaker of this documentary makes use of a lot of words used as images. Most of these words are represented in newspaper clippings. When Randall Adams was interviewed he was wearing white which is a subtle way showed that he was innocent. David Harris was ...

About Me and Some of My Hobbies

Painting/Modeling   One hobby of mine that I put a lot of time  and dedication in is modeling/painting.  The bulk of the work I do is mainly Warhammer 40k models. My brother was the person that got me  into the hobby at first. At the start I just bought the boxes of models and I put a few together but I was not really into it that much. I started to paint and customize the models next and I really got to be creative for it and it made  me so much more motivated to do it.  Many days I will just listen to music and paint for some time. Dungeons and Dragons I enjoy being a creative and imaginative person. One way I  get to do this is through playing DnD. This was another  hobby that I did not really enjoy at  first but it eventually grew on me. After I got a feel for the game and  the people I really enjoyed playing the game. I usually play with my brother,  roommate, and a coup...
