King’s Quest VI takes place in a medieval-fatansical setting, therefore Alexander’s rhetoric is far more sophisticated than other games we’ve looked at. The rhetoric, accompanied by animations and voice-acting creates a very immersive atmosphere. Having the power to interact with different characters who have scripted dialogue, it’s very easy for the player to fill Alexander’sContinue reading “King’s Quest VI RESPONSE”

As explained in my reading response for City of Brass, this is my favorite reading which is why I am excited to read it completely for my final paper. While there’s probably man more resources analyzing The Hobbit’s and The Sorcerer’s Stone’s rhetoric, I’m too invested in the story to not finish it. For theContinue reading “Chosen Reading”

City of Brass is hands down my favorite reading of the semester. Deduced from my own world-building project, I’ve always been passionate about Egyptian fantasy and magic. The fact that Nahri comes from a line of ancient healers just adds to my enthusiasm for my book, for I’m personally exploring healing techniques like reflexology andContinue reading “City of Brass Response”

It’s very easy to fall into the mindset of #ownvoices. Today, I feel like people are much more critical, especially online. There can be a lot of backlash from the POC community or the LGBTQ+ community, who tear into characters or narratives and are completely blown out of proportion.

Back when I read religiously, high-fantasy adventure interested me more than romance or slice-of-life. As I’ve aged, I fell for vampires just as everyone else. Reading Twilight for the first time, I feel I’ve fulfilled a small fraction of my childhood that had otherwise been empty. I was surprised at how slow the first threeContinue reading “Twilight Reading Response”

While heka can be described to be the magical source the creator used in making the world, he is also the personification of magic itself. Heka is the power that makes balance, harmony, and every other concept or aspect of life possible. UnlikeContinue reading “[Planet Blath] Word building Project Final”

Children of Blood and Bone is definitely a title that would’ve grabbed my eye in middle school. Despite its popularity, I’ve only now heard of this story. I loved the wisdom and nurturing personality of Mama Agba. I loved the origin story of the white-haired maji and their relationship with the gods, but I’m stillContinue reading “Children of Blood and Bone Reading Response”

Once I was an avid writer who could easily dive into a fictional dimension and effortlessly describe a world down to the texture of the leaves that fall off trees. Having not exercised my writing muscle in a while, I built a world that felt comfortable using a reoccurring idea I’ve dabbled with for aContinue reading “World-Building Response”

Hey there, my name is Ellery (based off of the 1930s mystery writer- Ellery Queen) but you’re welcome to call me Elle. I chose to major in animation, for both my love of art and world building, and having the creative power to immerse an audience in a reality far from our own. I wasContinue reading “Introduction Post”
