Fall Final Project
A project that a few classmates and I want to do to cover all the material we learned in class is a short video. We thought it would be the best way because the video itself would be a remix. We would try and find examples of the important things Dr. Preston has covered in class and put it all together. It's difficult in the way that we have a short period of time, but can be accomplished if we work together to get it done.

Essay....
While Ichabod Crane and Young Goodman Brown faced out in their rap battle, Crane surprised everyone by throwing out some romanticism sense that's his expertise. Meanwhile Young Goodman Brown had to defend himself by rapping about Colonial dogma. That was easiest for him sense all his life he had been surrounded by religion.
Ichabod Crane had a magnificent entry when he amazed everyone by telling in such a unique way the great things about the artistic, literary, and intellectual movement of the late 18th century. He bribed the listeners to focus on him with such wonderful flown words he used. Everything he said made them fall in love with the time he was representing. Everyone present in the battle wanted to know more about the enlightenment and everything that occurred in the late 18th century. They were intrigued to learning about life in that time. They were anxious to hear Ichabod Crane rap all day. They were so anxious that they were furious when he stopped to give Young Goodman Brown a chance to try and win them over.
As soon as Ichabod Crane took the floor though, everyone was fascinated They no longer remembered who Crane was. They even forgot he was there. They loved the fact how he combined his terrible experience in the woods with Dream within a Dream. He described to the audience how it felt so real he thought he was living it all. The devil made everything so realistic that life soon became a dream for him. He began to question everything. Goodman Brown could no longer tell life and a dream apart. H e began to think life itself was but a dream within a dream.
When both had rapped great verses for the people, everyone became confused. They were confused on who the winner would be. Their verses were so great that people didn't know who side to be on. They said their decision was so difficult that it reminded them of the myth, Earth on Turtle's Back. They found one another and made something new and unique they couldn't be apart. The raps put together was a new world. Both put together describe two completely different times and genres and it sounded so great once they were united in the rap battle.
In the end, they were both winners. They both describe different types of literature in such a great way. They help young readers like me see literature from different points of view. Both texts were confusing, but each has its own hidden message, you just have to figure it out. The hidden message i found in both is that people make mistakes and some hurt you really bad. You have to learn and speak up for yourself to be heard or its like being lost in the woods and being all alone because your idea or what you had to say will never be heard.

BIG Question!
Top choice: If life
is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things
we don’t do?
Back-up: Which is worse, failing or never trying?

The Medium is the Message
I found a cartoon type movie on YouTube of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and it's practically reading the story to you, but with pictures to follow along. It's so easy to comprehend. So if you're like me and had a hard time understanding the story no matter how many times people explained it to you, watch the video. ---->The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
