Wow. I have not posted anything in a while. Sorry about that! I've been trying to get all of this research done (gosh I'm still not done -_-) and haven't really been working on the website itself. Well I've made a lot of progress! I;ve finished 6 pages as of today (About the Author, Characters, Plot and Conflict, Full Page Illustration, Vocabulary Study, and Symbolism/Theme). I am very happy and super proud of my website. It's coming together just how I want it!

Well it's a Saturday and I hate doing work on Saturdays so I'll probably finish some research and work on it some more tomorrow.

OOOOOOHHHH before I forget, I found out something really cool! Did you know this book was BANNED in the Soviet Union when it was published? How controlling is that? You know you up to no good if you gotta ban a book, man. That's just cruel...

Adieu!

Well...here I am on a Saturday in the beautiful city of Fort Lauderdale and a luxury hotel...and I'm working on  my project. Not the ideal situation, huh?

I figured I may as well work on some part of the project today. So I'll be taking notes from online and hopefully start a few of my other pages. My goal is to have the About the Author and Dystopian Connections pages up by midweek. 

Wish me luck!

So I'm in class right now typing this. I just finished my full page illustration, so two down, nine to go! I think I'll start working on my about the author and symbolism/theme pages because I haven't even touched those two yet.

A little about my findings in the book-Squealer is quite the character. He's very dynamic yet static at the same time. He's kind of like the one who enables the characters to be either static or dynamic, if that makes sense. His persuasions can end up two different ways- the animals remain static and go with it or become dynamic and question where all these changes are coming from. I need to figure out who he's alluding to...

Signing off for now!

So I'm back and completely confused! This book has to be the most advanced thing I've read. It has so many complex layers that require a lot of research. I'm also trying to figure out how I want to design my website. The blog is a big part in the creative aspect so it has to be here. But my other pages are giving me trouble. AAAAHHHH!! On the bright side, I OFFICIALLY FINISHED A PAGE!! It's my vocabulary page so yay!! 

Okaaay sooo I may or may not have finished the book today in class...! I'm sorry World, but I honestly have no idea how to pace myself when I read. Well, now I have a lot of time to work on my project! YAY! 

Ok, back to business! Today I realized just how complex this book is. I'm gonna have to do a lot of research which doesn't make me happy but alas, I must ace this so BRING IT ON!! So today what I'm going to do to the website is finish setting up all of the headers on each of the pages and start organizing. I still have a lot of notes to take but I've made a dent at least.

Ta-ta for now!
