Pestilence

(bubonic plague under a microscope)

1. The Rake

“He had a powerful, rather emotional delivery, which carried to a great distance, and when he launched at the congregation his opening phrase in clear, emphatic tones: “Calamity has come upon you, my brethren, and, my brethren, you deserved it,” there was a flutter that extended to the crowd massed in the rain outside the porch.” (94)

Evolution and Literature Web Paper 4

First, a few clarifications. I published this in chapters on a blog (http://fictionvtruth.blogspot.com/) and I highly recommend you look at it there to get a sense of my overall project. Not only am I addressing the issues between "truth" and "fiction", I am doing so in a journal/diary sort of approach. I will also publish the full transcript here.

Instruction of the game

Our group is planning to split the class into two groups and play a few rounds of a game called Mafia as part of our presentation tomorrow. In case you have never played or need a refresher, it'd be great if you read the rules so we don't have to take time explaining it tomorrow:

Basically, there are three roles you may take on: Townsperson, Mafia, or Inspector

Before we begin the game, we will pass out cards: whoever gets a King will be a member of the Mafia, whoever gets a Joker will be an Inspector, and the rest will be townspeople.

In our game, we will have 3 mafia and 1 inspector.

Final self-evaluation

Final self-evaluation

When I found about the course, I was really interested in taking it because I have never taken a class dealt with gender issues. I figured the class would be even better because it also incorporated science and technology that I really enjoy studying. I was very curious how those subjects will be coordinated together as well.

For the first part of the class, gender, I was fascinated by all the new materials I was learning. I grew up in a homophobic society where gender diversity was not acknowledged, so I felt that I understood where gender diversity comes from and why it is important to acknowledge it for the first time of my life.

The creation (Final project) & critique of the story

The creation

I am a computer programmer. My programming history goes all the way back to when I was in middle school. I only used my computer to play video games just like any other kids, but I got bored at them really quickly because I would hack and change the programming codes of the gaming system so that I would win the game every single time.

I was gifted. No one has really taught me a lot about programming, but I feel like I knew what I was supposed to do. I communicated better with computers than with humans. Maybe it’s because the computer functions and coding sequences always floated around in my head.
