My project summarizing the hero’s journey and Star Wars whilst using puppets. Fun fact: these are all my personal collection of puppets. Hand-me-downs and birthday presents and (in the case of Pogo, the green dragon) rescues. Anyway, this was so much fun to work on. My mom is actually planning on making this skit twice as long, so that we can do a summer project for kids or something.

Assign a report for each writer, draw “Writer of the Week,” names from a hat, or throw a dart (safety-tipped, of course) to select the next writer to study! 24×40 i… More >>
READ FIRST! My final exam for World Literature II at Auburn University. Each character represents the text as a whole and the themes therein. It would probably be better if you had learned the same things about each texts but for the most part, they are as follows. The Dark Knight Returns: Vigilanteism and Frank Miller’s take on it. A Clockwork Orange: The use of language and the unpredictability of teens. Also, the promotion of everyone’s separate opinion rather than having one imposed on you by the author The Time Machine: Pro-Communism Wide Sargasso Sea: Post-Colonialism and Madness My best friend ROCKS at voices, so that was fun too! Hope y’all enjoy!
