The voice for Magerbs

Magrebs’ voice in the story was like a train without a conductor.  She would keep yapping until she tried to stop. She would brag and then would angry. She would be bossy until her husband arrived.  She would worry about him. She is stubborn and impatient like a child in this story. She speaks in a low voice with very few words to say. It sometimes would be unintelligible for her, too.

media

Create your own illuminated page that embodies one of your own observations about media.

My own observations are about video games as a part of the huge media industry. 

I am a video game artist who is majoring in game art and design. Video games have a massive impact on media because of the internet. The video games are playable on the PC, MAC, mobile apps and consoles that connect to the internet.  The internet allows players to connect to the latest games as well as other players online. Video games provide an opportunity for the gamer to role play in different scenarios. For example, the gamer may play as a first person shooter in MMORPG games. I believe many people use this media to interact with and within the digital world. 

I would like to design video games that are based on fantasy worlds, futuristic worlds and even traditional worlds. I would like to have my video games be beautiful and amazing so my audience would appreciate their experience.

In the video game industry, there are lots of components needed to make a video game.  To name a few there are the creators, the illustrators, the computer animation, the sound effects and production managers.  All these specialized people collaborate to create a single game for the video game industry.

In this picture it show the truth about Trump. What he says is mostly hateful, usurped and unkind. 

This is a comical depiction about Donald Trump and its from Scooby Do cartoon.

In the first picture it shows the Scooby Do gang capturing Donald Trump. The gang looked very happy, but Donald Trump’s face expressed disgust and anger.

In the second picture they try to unmask Donald Trump by pulling his hair.  

In the third picture it shows rats telling the truth that Donald Trump hates and wants for the American people: 

• He talks about building a wall between Mexico and the USA
• Talks of deporting people out of the country.
• Last, he talks about women and their age and looks.

This example shows his true feelings and opinions about other people.

This is one of the funniest graphic comics I found about Donald Trump.

I chose this cartoon because it is very funny and it illustrates Donald Trump’s real  truth in his speeches. Also, I chose this cartoon because it is a very graphic comic about the Scooby Do gang finding out the truth about him. The rats represent the hatred and the despicable ideas that Donald Trump has about other people.

The author I choose was Akira Kurosawa. The movies I picked from him were Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood and Tsubaki Sanjuro. 

Seven Samurai takes place in Japan. The story is about the government attempting to take the land from rice farmers. The farmers seek a way to the government from taking their land and their rice. They seek the help from samurai to protect their land but only have rice to offer as payment. The farmers found it difficult to hire samurai because the government was watching over them. However, one samurai came to their aid and stood against the government. His name was Takeshi Shimura. In the story, the farmers and Takeshi manage to get six other samurais to help their fight against the government. In the end five samurai die for the cause, leaving only Takeshi and a younger samurai live to tell the story. 

Throne of Blood focused on two samurai lost in a sacred forest.  They encounter a mysterious woman in white who tells them about their futures. This mysterious person tells the first samurai his fortune. She tells him how he will be the Emperor in the North.  Then she tells the second samurai his fortune.  He would be the Emperor of the Forest of the Clan. This story is similar to Macbeth by Shakespeare because it has the same story structure.  In this story, the medieval knights in Macbeth are replaced with samurais. The three witches in Macbeth are replaced by one spirit in Throne of Blood. The themes in the stories are similar. The emperor and king are killed.  In the end of Throne of Blood, the first samurai, Emperor of the North died just like Macbeth in Macbeth. 

Tsubaki Sanjuro focused on a group of samurai, who supposed killed one of the emperors from a different clan but untrue. So the emperor tries to go after those people by taking away their land. The samurai group did not know what to do. One man who was a Ronan came to their aid. He was there to save the people and their land.  In the end they manage to get their land back from the emperor and kill him.

Akira Kurosawa focuses on ancient Japan.  His films revolve around three groups of people: the emperor and his men, the peasant or farmers and the samurais.   Through out the three films there appears a struggle for power. The author points to re-appearing themes of betrayal, lies and killings involving the emperor,s the peasants and samurai in ancient Japan in all three movies.
