I have gone through this class; I really wanted to look at power and misinterpretation. I looked inward to a personal experience, and then to a person in a job, and now to the world. The question has always been for these: Is it morally right to do what is best for you, or what is best for everyone else? And are these two things related or separate? As I have wrote two papers about my own ideas and Dr. John Erickson, I have gone a little bit father with the questions on misinterpretation, and on a deeper note what exactly is morally right? And how is it taught? What exactly do we value? How do you balance doing exactly what you think is right, and sort of having to move around them to accommodate everything? How exactly are ethics taught differently? How does power manifest itself in your life as you gain more?

         I think for the ideas that are percolating in my head, I want to do multiple texts. I want people to be affected by it, so they question something that they thought was a truth, based off what they were told. I mean to try and do introspection on what they think society values, and how the eye can be wrong. The main point of them is to not judge. I think that the power question is one for warning, if I chose to do that as well. It would be a caution to the problem human nature could have when given rule.

         I picture a 5’7” foot freshman male, wearing Nike attire form head to toe. They are wearing the Jordan’s that just came out, and have a bull cut hair. Their dad is a high paying businessman, who owns a couple Starbucks, and the mom is marketing major who chose to stay home with the young kids. He idolizes basketball players and wants to girls to like him. I want to tell him not to judge, and that appearance does not define you.

         A businessman. Holding his I phone 6 plus that he has a belt for he was an expensive suit with a clean hair. He wears sunglasses as he gets out of the Tahoe. A man, who is running late for work, weaving in and out of traffic honking the horn at anyone going the speed limit, I picture him so that he does not get too involved with the schedule he has, to miss the world he dwells in.

         Not collect my ideas of what I want to say into one of the genres is interesting. I like the idea of a biography and an article, to show a difference in the interpretation of an individual. I also like to write stories, so maybe I could use multiple characters in a day to realize the idea of which we have of them was wrong. For the power one, I think drawing a political cartoon is great, to show something along the lines of self gain being both a good thing and a bad. For a video, I could portray a person walking down the street in different sets of clothes, to show the way other people look at them. Maybe something like a crisp suit, to shirt and jeans, to tattered dilapidated outfit. Something to show the way people perceives things as being one. Some of the modes could be putting it on a website, like a YouTube video, and putting a live chat at the bottom, get a full representation of how they saw it.

         I think that I have a pretty good idea of the conventions of this genre. I have a lot of ideas, and I would have to try them out differently or combine them. What imp thinking of mostly is a video kind of like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54G4qCceDqs

And for a cartoon, maybe something politically satirical likes this:
