Mini Game 9-20-11

Was it hard to make your mini game ?

Well , I wouldn't consider the hardest thing in the world but it also wasn't the easiest thing in the world . But once i got the hang of it i got right away , But it wasn't so easy in the begging !! But i got it and that's all the matters !!(:

What was the best part of the topic ?

The best part for me was actually seeing my Mini Game work and do what it was supposed to do and not just freeze like it did at least 5 times !!/: Also making it look pretty i like when we did the background and not just let it stay white like always !!!(:

The worst part ?

The worst part of the Mini Game was putting those codes in !! They got me really mad when i thought it looked perfect but wouldn't even work !! Also make sure everything was perfect because one little error would ruin the whole game witch i find really umm , weird !! ? .. But other then that , That's It !!!(:

2 Single Story 2011

'' Danger Of A Single Story ''

1. What does it mean to have a " single story " about a place or community ? It means , having your own idea of a race , gender , country or even city . With out even knowing all the REAL facts about that place ! Like a stereo type sort of thing . When thinking something totally different then what it really is.

2. Describe a single story you have heard told in your community. A single story that i have heard in my community is that they think that in the East side that we are all drop outs and always do bad things like steal and graffiti and we don't learn and we do drugs and stuff like that . That a single story in my community !

3.Describe a single story you have heard about another community. A single story that i have heard in another community is that in Africa there are people ''Black/Brown'' that live there and that they are all poor and they live in tree bark houses and that they don't have close and that they run around naked ! That's a single story that i heard of in another community .

4.How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community ?.It could show them how places really are and what they really do and how they really act and show people that not all story's that they hear about are true and that most stories that they do hear are not true.

I watched a movie called Cyberbully , You can guess what the movie is about by the title but i am going to tell you some more information about the movie . The main character in this movie is Taylor She is a teenager who is on high school and like every other person she knows how high school is but also knows she has to go , witch is fine with her . For Now !! She went to Moutian High school with her two best friends Shannon and Samantha . They would always hang out with each other and tell each other secrets but one friend went over board . But before that something else happened . Her brother hacked into her Cliicksters account and says some bad tings about her ! Witch leads to people bullying her , They call her all these names really really bad names at first she takes bad but it gets worse and people start posting on her wall calling her all these names and saying she sleeped with other guys and that she was pregnant witch are all lies . She starts to fell over whelmed and started to get suidcial thoughts and almost killed herself but , she couldn't get the top off of the pills and her friend Samantha practicly saved her life . But her friends Samantha was not always the good person in this movie , you see . One night Taylor logged on to her clicksters and saw she had a friend request from a boy named James and she accept it even thought she did not know him , Well anyways she would talk to James and tell him some of her darkest secrets ! And later on found out that James was fake and that her supposedly her best friend Samantha was playing him and thought she was protecting her so when Taylor found out she was super mad . Taylor starts to go to these classes that teach her that she is not the only one getting bullied she started to get back on her feet and after a week she went back to school . When she went back to school one of the first people she saw was Samantha she forgave her and walked into the lunch room then the mean girl Lindsy started to say some more stuff mean stuff then finally Taylor stuck up for herself and said something nothing mean but something , then everybody started to tell Lindsy something ! So , the movie ended off Taylor back on her feet and stoped the bullying ! (:
