A Summer Story

Hello Everyone


This week I played a choose your own adventure type game called  [Text] A Summer Story. It is both a story and an interactive game. A girl named Maya visits her uncle in Japan for a week. She texts him while on the ferry and gets a message from a stranger that has his phone number. It is a boy name Takeshi. He worked for her uncle at the shrine last year. When you get to her uncle's place, the story lets you choose your own actions. You have to play the game 7 times, in order to see the whole story unfold. Eventually, you find out the Takeshi is a ghost accidentally killed by your uncle. Depending on your choices you may or may not find out and you may be killed or killed by her uncle.

When you finish one story, you become more interested and want to see what your other choices could have been. You learn more about Maya's Point of View and the Plot that takes center stage in this story. You get her sense of Point of View, as she tells the story in her own words. You get a plot of learning more about the story when you replay it over and over again.

The story/game is interesting because you wonder if some endings are better than others. It also makes you reflect as an individual, on the chooses you, yourself would make. 

Ultimately, I think Bryan Alexander would like this story. He would see This story/game as a creative narrative, where you have some control. He would also see the literary elements and be interested to reread the story and make other choices.

Why don't you tell me what you think about yourself? if you are interested to play the game, I will drop a link in the works cited below.

    I agree that the story supports the idea that you put yourself in Maya's shoes. As you would any game that would give you choices to make.

MicroBlog She's a flight risk (2003)

Hello again! everybody I am new to writing blogs. It is something I have never done before. I admit it is a little intimidating, but I am going to try my best. I would really appreciate comments on how I am writing to better improve my blogs thank you everybody. I chose this blog because, I am interested into mysteries and I like a good narrative on whats going on in people's mind in certain situations. How does  one  literary feature from  The Literary Web for Theorists  enhance the story? As we begin she leaves some strange info about herself, I’m twentysomething and I am an international fugitive. “My name is isabella v. But it isn’t..” Why would she say this? Why is she an international fugitive? Leaving clues and half truths about her situation. She is still trying to adjust to her new situation “The first two weeks, the hardest, are over. I feel mostly safe. As safe as I can feel.” She blogs about how she must be careful. She misses the old world, the old her

If I Did My Own Podcast

Hello Everyone! Another week and another Microblog just for you! This week I have been thinking what would it be like to have my own podcast? What should I podcast about? Two very good questions and I feel like I have some good answers to that. Three ideas that come to mind are fictional stories, a journal of myself and things that I find interesting to talk about, plus my opinions. I feel for me, my creative process is always changing, but that makes it a wonderful thing. At this moment I feel it is best to have a theme and or a structure to the things I podcast about. Honestly, I would just have fun with it and see what I would learn from the experience. If I was podcasting a digital story. I would talk about a fantasy story that's kinda like D&D style. I would narrate the characters to engage more with my followers. If I did a  podcast about my life. I would talk about my work, problems and my health issues. I find it important for people to get to know the real me.
