For each, ID/quote and add 3-8 sentences of your own explanation Chapter 3 discusses the philosophy behind Lucretius’ poem. As a follower of the philosopher Epicurus, Lucretius thinks that the universe is made of these tiny things called “atoms” that collide to create everything in the world. He spoke about how there would be no involvement from religion, and instead of fearing the afterlife, we should live happy, pleasurable lives, making the most of it. However, a lot of religious people, especially those who were powerful, did not…

Careers Exploration Blog
One thing I notice is that Commercial Art and Graphic Design has the biggest percentage of major shares, with 25%. That doesn’t surprise me, given that Graphic Design is the most saught after art major, and the major most likely to get a job in graphic design after school. Fine Arts is the next biggest, which my major is connected to, is 23%. This is also not surprising, due to a vast majority of art majors/minors being under the “Fine Arts” umbrella. This major is another saught after major within the arts, due to it’s openness for opportunity and ability to be able to get a good internship or job…

The Swerve details and thoughts
A few details that caught my interest inside of chapter one, are about how hierarchies were in the time of the story (which is the 1400s). For example, on page 15, “What mattered was what you belonged to or even whom you belonged to.” was a sentence that caught my interest because of how different society was 500 years ago compared to today. In the past, depending on your status or even what you looked like, you could be doomed into slavery, or to be impoverished your entire life. In the 1400s, that may be the Lord of the town, or your employer. Another detail is on page 18, “To…

Journal #2
What stood out to me in the handout, was the acknowledgement of the fear of “messing up”, or even the fear of the blank page. It is a very real fear, or rather block, one of which I struggle with often. If you can’t figure out your story, then others can’t comprehend it either. People have a great idea, however they don’t know, or want to put it in a small, understandable summary. In my opinion, I agree with the motion that screenwriting is basically an art. Like art, it takes time, and patience to come full circle into a final piece. If a piece is rushed, it can end…

Involvment Fair
During the involvement fair, I walked around the tables and I talked with many people, at many tables. I joined some clubs! I joined the Art Club, the Ski Club, the Creative Writing Club, and the UNE Players. I saw my roommates and I eventually broke away from them and kept walking around. I got some stickers and items, and I won a small fan! Later, I took a selfie as proof that I was there.
