Contemporary Literature Course Reflection

 What were my expectations?

I was expecting a fun book club for a class and my expectations were met in that regard but I was not expecting the amount of projects there were. 

What was my favorite book?

My favorite book was Dark Matter because of the creative premise and plot and Jason was a very engaging protagonist. 

What was my favorite project?

I really liked the TED Talk project because of the freedom that came with it. My topic of animation was personal to me so I had a lot of fun with research and sharing something I'm interested in with the class. 

Why others take this class?

I believe anyone who likes books or Mr. Davidson will have a great time in this class and the variety of books presented were great for anyone.

       There is an epidemic of young boys who lack the desire to read. I believe that a social media campaign, specifically on Instagram, would be the best to spread the message that reading is an amazing activity. I believe Instagram is the best because most of the U of D student body is on the platform, so my message can reach the most amount of people. Because most students passively scroll through Instagram, when they see a post of a book, they can share it on their story for other people to see or save/screenshot it for later.       However, the important part is the way content will be shared. The account will run on a submission system where U of D students and faculty are encouraged to submit any books or articles they may have found interesting. The faculty and students posting can get those who are not reading as often to get inspired by seeing what their fellow Cubs are reading. The posts will contain a picture of the book they are read...

TED Talk Reflection

What I Knew:     I knew the general state of the animation industry. Because of this, I knew there was a stigma against the medium that it was meant for children despite the many mature animated works. I was also aware of the general lack of respect animation faces at award shows like the Oscars and I also was aware that there has yet to be an animated movie to win best picture. Finally, I was aware of the rapid cancelation of many shows across streaming platforms as Inside Job, one of the mentioned shows, was canceled and I was very distraught. What I DIDN'T Know:      Most of my knowledge was surface-level. I was unaware of what made some projects more mature than others other than mature language or visuals. It is the themes and writing that make a series mature as well as language and visuals. I was also made aware of the true disrespect animation faces at the Oscars. The fact that animated movies can only be considered for their titular category and Best...
