I couldn't get enough of FreeRice so I decided to donate 2000 grains of rice. I learned that I knew a lot more words than I thought I did. The game was fun because even if you did not know the word you could somehow take an educated guess. What I really like about FreeRice was if you got a word wrong, they would give the answer to you and then retry the word after a couple of times. Others should play FreeRice not only because the game is for a good cause, but because you can expand your vocabulary and learn different words that mean the same thing.
Week 2: Six Word Memoir
I posted my six word memoir which was "I would be anywhere but here...". I picked this memoir only because I get homesick at times, but in reality I love it here at Eckerd. With this website you can just have fun thinking of things that sum up how you are feeling, or words that are put together to be goofy. Everyone could do this one and have fun with it and maybe learn something about how they are feeling.

Week 4: Web of Language
"Illinois bans male pronoun"
For this extra credit we were to read a story about the use of language. I specifically chose the article about using the male pronoun when referring to both male and female, because it brings up the issue we had with Vogler. In Vogler's book when referring to the hero he will sometimes use she/her which took many of us in the class by surprise because the words were uncommonly used. This website was interesting and everyone should browse the articles to see what kind of controversy we have over many different languages as well as our own.

Week 6: Random act of Kindness
I liked the act of kindness website because it showed how people can do little things for people to be a better person or to just have fun doing something nice for someone else. All of these acts of kindness were fun and selfless. I liked the Drive-by Flowering act of kindness because it was free and for everyone and the flowers are a nice gesture to shower an individual that someone is thinking of them. I think if I had some free time I would get together with some friends and do the same random act of kindness because it seems fun an awesome way to do something nice for somewhere. Everyone should do some kind of random act of kindness even if it is for just one person who deserves an act of kindness.

Week 9: Halloween
THE BANANDIT!
For halloween i was a banana bandit = The banandit. I believe that I took the role of the Trickster because the whole costume was funny. I was not only the Trickster, but also the Shadow because I had some secrecy and darkside to me with my mask on. 8-)
Week 10: Vote
On November 4 I voted for the first time which was exciting. With Obama as the president elect I really do hope we see change because our country is in need of change. I'm excited to see the transition that our country will undertake within the next four years. Voting was important for everyone to do and I hope that everyone went out and voted. Voting is a right that everyone should take advantage of.
