Text Based Games

Twine is an easy to use site for making text based games. You can even download it, use it on your computer as a program. Another version of the text based game is something called an interactive story. A text based game uses text characters instead of graphic characters. They were widely popular in the 1980's. People who are just starting out in coding normally make these types of games. Twine is easy to use and easily able to get to. There are other sites that allow you to make text based games.

Reading Journal 2

I decided to reread a book that I read a couple of years ago. The tittle is More Than Lust, by L.L McLane. It is about a teenage boy who feels awkward in his own skin. He compares himself to his stepbrother a lot. The step brother is one of those smooth guys that never trips up his words when talking to the ladies. The main character finally finds a girl that is interested in him. He had dated someone once before, but she hurt him by leaving him for his step brother. The main character is different than a lot of people his age. The story feels like it filled with a lot of hidden symbols, and growth. McLane, does a great job at showing that the main character is in fact human. He gets built up, but then when he gets to built up, he is brought back down again. The story seems to work a lot like the way life works. His life goes well with having a girlfriend, but then he loses sight of what is important.

Reading journal

Lately most of my reading has been online through fan fictions and online comics. However, I always keep a book of poems by Robert Frost with me in my bag. Poetry is my favorite form of writing to read. The expressions and emotions that can be put into a poem is one of the most wonderful parts of writing. The poem in the book that I am most in love with is the Road Less Travel By. Many people say that as kind of a way to get away with not reading poetry. I like this poem because everyone says Frost is talking about taking a path in life that only a few might take, but recently I read an article about in an interview that was not what the poem was about at all. The poem was about how no matter what paths we take in our lives our decisions are still random, and there is not a for sure place where we are going to end up. Someone can land themselves in prison not, but still end up having a decent life. The world is not just something that can be predicted. There are many misconceptions of what a work of art may or may not mean. Poems seem to be the most hard to read to some extent. Some of them are straight forward, or we feel that they are straight forward, while others are not. In the end it is up to the creator to decide what they meant when they wrote it, and even then that can change.

Trans inequality



Trans inequality has come to face. Many do not think of Trans rights. There are others who write is off as sexuality. Trans is about gender, and not sexuality. Using gender conversion therapy to make someone "normal" is wrong. A trans teen killed herself because of the lack of support from her family.

Youtube Feminist



One of my strongest interests is equal rights. Laci Green is a Youtuber that is a feminist. She sheds light on subject matter that many don't like to think about. Green personally made me realize that it is not a bad thing to be a feminist, and that it should not be a bad thing to think of myself as one.
