The Battle For Housing


Hello Visitor, I'm taking a class called Art of Rhetoric where we learn how Rhetoric can be used, why it is used, and how Rhetoric affects us today. Before this Action Project we talked about the Rhetoric appeals that are used in things like Advertisements like Political Campaigns, learned about rhetorical devices like allusion, allegory, alliteration, and went on an FE to a Budget & Government Operations committee meeting. Right before we started the Action Project we evaluated some flyers to get the grasp of what a flier should look like and the possible things we can improve on our flier. Now for this Action Project, we were asked to raise awareness of an issue relating to Housing in the medium of a flier. Now in the making of this flier we have to use rhetorical devices and appeals. The Housing Issue I chose, was the development of an 108 unit in the center of Englewood making only 10 apartments affordable.



My appeal to logos was the use of the CMAP data into my flier. My appeal to pathos was the use of the color red in text to make the reader feel alerted or concerned with what the red text is saying. The appeal to Ethos was the link to the CMAP data to ensure that the information I used was there. I think the hardest part of this project was finding a way to fit the information I needed on the flier while having an eye catching image. I still feel like I haven't found a good level of information and image so there's a lot going on which could be a benefit, but not aesthetically pleasing. What I could do better is probably make the text a bit smaller and make the hands different colors to make it even more eye-catching.

The Consequences of Greed

  Drama is a class that talks about the challenges and norms of gender roles, and how these gender roles can be challenged with the use of theater.       In this term of drama, we discussed the roles gender plays in the Shakespeare play, The Tragedy of  Macbeth . I chose to address the character of Lady Macbeth and how she’s forcing the norm of men being cold onto Macbeth which leads him into a path of bitterness and over-confidence. Macbeth leaving her when she needs him most (since she’s going crazy due to her helping him with the murder of King Duncan). So in the end she’ll regret manipulating him to do a heinous action. This Action Project’s goal was to use Shakespeare’s writing style to address how gender roles are portrayed in the play and to give advice to a character if we had the chance. This is my sonnet.  " The Consequences of Greed " Lady Macbeth you know thy goal But do you know the cost  Wouldst you give up thy soul  And let thy...

The MOVIE BOT IS ALIVE

 Hi Visitor, In my Intro to Coding class we were asked to make a chat bot, with 5 total questions using booleans and other aspects of coding. Before this project we learned about Boolean meanings and if statements. We learned how to format if statements, elif statements, and how to use if statements in certain situations. After we learned this we proceeded to work on the Action Project. I made a chatbot that'll talk about movies and has a keen liking to Spiderman.   It was my best project so far, but there were some challenges in the way. Like the formatting of having multiple if statements, multiple answers, and the biggest issue was the multiple combinations that could be typed in the movie genre question. Besides those problems the project was a pretty smooth process since I had a clear goal of what I wanted and not having to do as much improvisation.

The Alien Pseudocode

Hi Visitor, For the First Action project in code we were asked to make a pseudocode of a game. Due to this being an introductory project we did a group activity where we got into 2 small groups and one person had to be blindfolded and essentially go through a course based on the directions we as a group chose to write down and say to the blinded partner. This helped us give a sense of how a computer would think since we removed the senses that would give people an intuition to easily go through the small course that was set up. I did my project on the classic game "Space Invaders" and this is my attempt to make a Pseudo code of it.  The hardest part for me was trying to find the right words and breaking down the game to a level where I can find words that I think the computer would understand. I think there would be tons of errors; just to point one for example the bullet code line because I didn't define how a bullet would move towards the alien ships; I just hoped for...
