Chapter 10 mini-project
For my chapter ten mini project I created an event flyer /wallpaper using two polyhedrons to emphasize the size of the respective parties involved. This strayed from the written assignment due to the lack of a CAD program, so I got creative. I created a flyer advertising the Easter Rising of Ireland in 1916. The flyer is based off the activities flyer seen around campus. I used a pyramid to represent England on the poster due to the greatness associated with that polyhedron in relation to architecture, and the culture created by the mighty Egyptians. I likened the two as almost the mega-powers of the periods, with Egypt being a major power of the ancient world, and England being a major power of more modern history. Ireland is represented by a small cube, as the cube is comparable to the earth, and Ireland is a very earthy culture in attitude and land mass. The Cube also stands fro stability, which represents the hope for a stable nation free of British rule. Fate is also encompassed in the meaning of a cube, and the Irish felt their fate of becoming their own independent nation rested on the Easter Rising. While it did not immediately free them due to having to still battle with Northern Ireland, it is regarded as the first major step towards The Republic of Ireland in 1949. I hope you enjoyed this project, and the small facts about Ireland sprinkled through my math assignment. |

Fast Food Nation response
The exploitation of our society to create a long lasting, successful franchise is not an idea that is truly foreign to any of us.We are all use to the concept that big business is “evil”, and out to get us. In the book Fast Food Nation by. Eric Schlossen, we find out what the greatest detriment to our society truly is, and that is the monsters creating the fast food humans shove down their gullets with so little thought frequently. We as a society have become dependent on there being a quick meal available, and that dynamic was built by the men described in this book. Fast Food Nation first introduces us to the humble beginnings of fast food joints while America was growing during the early 20th century. The first fast food joints were created simply in pursuit of the American dream, and without the same callous as our contemporary examples. The origins of McDonald's is the starting point for what would become modern fast food practice, as they did away with the bell hops and most of their menu to create the first self-service fast food restaurant, and in doing this created the shape of the restaurants we currently know. Business conditions have deteriorated since that point, and as the book addresses, we now have problems with e-coli, illegal immigrants working there, and those in charge not caring the least bit as long as the money keeps rolling in.The fast food business is comparable to so many other businesses we have seen in the current times, as in regardless of what the original intent was, it has mutated into something far beyond the control of out people. It has been so ingrained in Americans to eat fast food that I am unsure if it could ever be taken out of us. The book addresses the business model of hooking them young, as if they are selling on the same level as Big Tobacco. They try to hook the young on it to by proxy hook parents, and hopefully retain the children due to nostalgia, and create another generation once they have kids. The entire business model of the fast food industry is built on American society slowly getting lazier, and continuing past habits, and that is sick. |

Hannah's story
Hannah's piece has many stories that could be interesting alone, but I feel they are all mixed together into a story up ill-fitting length to house the ideas. I would love to know more of the relationship between Ethan and his family concerning his homosexuality. I would also be a fan of exploring his past with Jeremy. What went wrong? I realize this may not be an important detail in the grand scheme of the story, but those little things are always great to have. Also like to know why his brother is always meddling in his life. it's a good story that has all the potential in the world if it was to gain some length. |

Chapter 2 Project
I chose to create a graphic design that represents the Fibonacci Numbers, and that is reflective of his rabbit problem. Like the progression in the number of rabbits, the amount of people in each photo represents the number of rabbit pairs. I started at one(my dog friend) and continued the progression to the point of thirteen(wedding dance floor for Michael Jackson's Thriller). I feel this displays an understanding of the theory, and the formula it follows. I followed the growth pattern created by our furry friends up to month 6 for the sake of picture visability, and that growth pattern was 1,1,2,3,5,8,13.
The pictures I have included in this all have a reason for their inclusion as they all relate back to life: as in the continuing of life via rabbit's mating. Weddings,holidays,employement are all rather large pieces of life, and I do believe they represent the advancement of the aforementioned rabbits in creating life. I am hoping that my graphic design will positively reinforce the proof of advancement in the rabbits, and depict certain important aspects of life such as love,family,gainful employment, and just plain fun. |

Zach Taulbee Workshop Notes
In “Dustin” by Zach Taulbee, I found myself particularly enjoying Zach’s usage of telling two stories simultaneously, as I thought it was done well. I feel the questions that the reader may have at the start of Zach’s tale are answered well through the events, and are done so soon enough into the story that the reader does not lose interest, but are still left a few surprises for the nearing conclusion. I enjoyed Dustin’s development as a character over the story, but feel that he was the only one who was given any real personality. Our narrator shows signs of obsession with Dustin while following him about, and a slight bit of gratitude due to the excellence of the painting, but jumps very quickly from one point to the next. I liked that we never truly find out what occurred in Dustin’s life; we simply know that somewhere, something went wrong, and the man is unable to cope with his grief without the assistance of narcotics. Zach’s piece has a lot more good aspects than it has bad, so my only real complaint is with the narrator’s character. |

Pain,Bliss, Regret
Poetry
With every single hit we take
we get further, what a mistake
we're the super powers oh no more
we've lost our friendships out the door
we did our time
destroyed our lives
watched the energy leave the room
we're losing it but still it seems
all I need is in front of me
I take the next shot of my life
its pain, its bliss, its dignified
we did our time
destroyed our lives
watched the energy leave the room
what a mistake, one more shot
with all the success or not
we're father above, able to fly
but your soul and mine are about to die
we grew up fast, we grew up hard
ease the pain with a loaded index card
I call you dumb, I'm a hypocrite
I'm just some bum,lost in this shit
lose ourselves in what we've employed
too high to tell what we destroyed
like our family or life in its entirety
keep on going and blame society
we did our time
destroyed our lives
watched the energy leave the room
I take the last shot of my life
Its pain, Its regret, unsatisfied |
