When I was playing the game until dawn my emotions changed a lot throughout the game. Until dawn is an drama horror video game. The teenagers are in the mountains, this game is all about choices just like life. As a player in the game my thinking process had to be very clear. when I first started the game I wasn't really thinking I was just playing and since I'm not good at video games I wasn't doing so good. As the game went on I started to focus more and I put more thought into the game. When your playing this video game its like your actually putting yourself into the game and I didn't do that until later on in the game



.

In this class I always seem to relate life decisions to the text, movies and games that we go over in class.  I just think somethings we read or watch has no meaning to it. I like things that I can think about or relate to my life or real life scenarios. This game was something that can happen in life so once I started to really play the game I got into it. Decisions aren't always easy and whenever you think they are easy you'll be surprised.When it came to saving people I wanted to save everyone but it didn't happen that way. Everytime I had to make a decision I got very nervous. This was a great game I really did enjoy playing it.
 
I can relate Until Dawn to the story The lady with the cold hands. I can relate this to the game  because in the story the lady with the cold hands the past always comes back around even when you think your clear of everything it still never goes away. In the video game the decisions that was made went away for the time being but it aways came back around just in a new way. Butterfly effect is when small choices can have a large effect. It makes you unfocused on the right decision or the wrong one. Like in the game when you come across a weapon and you pick it up later on in the game it will take you back to the same scene. Also I can relate Until Dawn to the woods because it was both unexpected. The teenagers were just taking an vacation and ended up under attack.



In this picture you had to save Ashley or Josh I didn't know what was the right thing to do because it was the toughest decision for me. I chose to kill ashley and I felt like I made the wrong decision afterwards because then I felt as though I was supposed to kill Josh. Its like I said even when you make an decision you always feel like you should've made a better one. I felt like it was a way to keep them both alive and the fact I wasn't able to keep them both alive made me upset.

Obama explains the problem with "All lives matter"
" I think the reason that the organizers uses the phrase "black lives matter" was not because they were suggesting nobody else's lives matter, " he said. "What they were suggesting was, there is a specific problem that is happening in the African-American community that's not happening in other communities. And that is a legitimate issue that we've got to address."
I totally agree with that our president. Saying black lives matters is not to take away the importance of other groups it's to prove our point. It's about police brutality against black communities. This is not a one time thing this is something that keeps going on.
All lives matter was never the topic we know that all lives matter. But we are saying black lives matter because it's things going on in the world and the target is blacks.

While I was watching Jesus camp and I read Blankets I noticed that it had A lot of differences. When you are a child you usually follow the same religion your parents are. I notice that the kids are told what to believe. I believe that you should let your child pick what they want to believe in. A parent should not force it. A example in Jesus Camp the woman asks who believes in god and the little girl didn't raise her hand so her mother did it for her. I know being a mother you want your child to do all of the right things but forcing something is not okay. The little girl probably doesn't know enough to believe yet, but she can learn. In Blankets Craig is reading the Bible and the boy says "Aren't we forced to read that thing enough" and they make fun of Craig for reading the Bible. This is not right, Craig is doing something great but when other kids are forced to do something they tend not to like it so they are looking at Craig cause he is different from them. The documentary and book both show some of the same concepts when it comes to the children's choice. The children make fun in the book and the movie.

 In this image it's dark and light so I'm not really sure whats going on. It looks like they are talking and being friendly to each other. This image might represent sadness the ideal of two people leaving each other. I say that because it looks like they are on boats and trying to talk before the boats drift away from each other. Its a very peaceful image 







When I found out I had to play a video game for this class I was not excited because I'm not the type to play videos games. I never been good at it However I had a nice time, when you think about this video game or any video game you can compare it to life. In life their are some things that might come your way that you were not ready for but you still had to go through it so you can reach the next level. In life you might have a right time but you get through it. This picture explains my life right now. When you look at this picture you receive a peaceful vibe. The he color the sunrise gives you a feeling of being safe. The shapes in this photo gives us edge, as if the person is standing on top of all his problems that he overcame and just waiting for a new journey to come.                                                                      
(Picture 2)
                                                                                                                                                                                     This Image from The Arrival is very forceful. You feel the power, tension when you look at this picture. In molly bang she says when you see dark colors the less safe you feel. This whole image is dark and its pointy shapes that give you fear and make a person frighten. Molly bang also talks about the size of things. If something is big the more meaning it has, thats how a reader can see that the buildings are important in this image. The creature can either be protecting the buildings or trying to cause harm. The creature also has pointy shapes which gives a person fear. 

This image is really overwhelming. For some strange reason I feel like I can compare this image to college. Like when you first come to college its scary because you don't know anyone and its a new place with a lot of new people. Also you don't have your parents around helping you do what your supposed to do. So its easy for you to get sucked in the nonsense thats going on around you. The people that are holding the tubes are very tall and the people who are running are very small. that shows the importance of the people. It is gloomy and the people look petrified.

In this photo it looks like they are all fighting over things that they love. They have comic books in their hands balling their fist up and putting the comics books in each other faces as if they are saying " no this one". This image makes me feel the angry that they have towards each other. Molly Bang : how pictures work says that white or light Backgrounds feel safer to us than dark backgrounds. However this background is light and I still don't feel safe. It gives me the same feeling as a dark background would. The closer the picture gets the more that anger builds up. It's red in the picture and it's shows it's danger going on.
