Poetry Conversation

It was interesting to hear how other people interpret poems from long ago. I learned a lot from this experience. Even though I doubt I even learned the true meaning to the poems, but I think we made a good attempt. It was pretty good.

West Virginia

I'm not actualy from West Virginia, I came here when I was 13 and I thought it was going to be grassy and mountainious where I was moving to, with backwards people and such. I was victim to the West Virginia sterotype. When I finally did move up here I found people that were just like the ones I left. Not everyone had only one tooth like the sterotypes say about West Virginia. For this I was glad. Technology here is the same as everywhere else I'v been from what I have seen. I realized this when I moved to Charelston. Technology helps us so much. It allows us to go from place to place, to build and grow our communities, unfortunately sometimes the negative sides of technology show up. Like when a chemical spill happens, or when a mine collapses like what recently happened, the good thing about technology is for every problem it causes it can also fix. We just have to figure out how to use it. I mean we are not as backwards as everyone thinks. I looked up on google for images of West Virginians, I found small towns and some old people, and a group hunting. Not that shocking. Yes West Virginia has these things but I don't know one state that doesn't, but i also found this picture.
Feel free to tell me how you feel about this pic because to be honest it kind of made me angry and I'm not even from here!

Animation!

Today in class we learned about keyframes and buttons and stuff like that. I made a box move accross the screen and rotate! I was so excited. Then PJ started his lesson on the button and my only error was i used the wrong {. I think I'm getting the hang of it.
