ENG 213
COMMONPLACE BLOG
English 213, or Digital Literacies, is a computer based class that looks at how to read internet based posts, comments, and uploads. While that might seem straight forward at first there are a lot of little pieces that go into interpreting online things such as a Twitter tweet, an Instagram photo, or a Commonplace blog.
But check out my Commonplace Blog!
This is where I post for my ENG 213 class and where I'll share my work, thoughts, and ideas about topics such as advertisements, books, and more over the course of the semester.

Introduction:
Quidditch is a game involving three standing goals, four sized balls, four player positions, and seven field players where the goal is to win. Before becoming a real life game that many colleges, clubs, and video gamers love to play, it was readable through the words of J.K. Rowling and visible through the screenplay of David Yates, Chris Columbus. Now, not only is the Hogwarts world still readable and watchable, it can also be accessed through game play with real life action and the Apple app Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. In this essay I will connect four different realms of Quidditch; the books, the movies, a video game, and real life, and explain how each version of the same sport helps to enrich the experience for those who understand and witness them.

Introduction:
The digital world that millennials and generation z are currently creating is completely different than the world that the boomers and beyond created. The largest argument is how the online world fits into our current world. There are huge advances in society thanks to the growth of the online world; worldwide communication, fast new feeds, open platforms, and so on. Websites such as Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Steam, and Tiktok offer users access to everyone and everything happening in the world. Anyone can post something and anyone else can respond to it in whatever way they choose. A good example of this is President Trump’s usages of Twitter for various gains and purposes. This paper will cover how the people whom inhabit the online chatrooms, such as Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook, use the various portals to converse about the possibility of arming teachers in the classroom.

ENG 213 Final Project
The question that I am proposing to you, the audience, is not whether or not the solution to keeping schools safe is to arm teachers or not to arm teachers. In fact the question I am proposing is actually what is being done to talk about finding this solution. This topic of arming or not arming teachers has been raging on since the rate of school related threats has escalated in the previous years. News reporters capturing the shocking scenes of teenagers and school staff running from buildings amidst the screams and terror has become the new's top stories far too often. However, the ongoing argument of "How do we keep our children safer" only seems to surface after a major event such as Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Sandy Hook Elementary School, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School cover the news feed for days on end. After the uproar dies down, so does the conversation on what needs to happen for schools to be safe for the children of America.
