I thought this game was pretty cool. You win the game by touching as many words in the paragraph as possible. Give it a try!! It’s been a great semester in Elit 🙂

Political Mashups
In my Visual Rhetoric course, we talked earlier in the semester about political mashups and how they are used to twist the candidate’s words around, either just for fun with no meaning behind them,(like the Obama video with him singing “Never Gonna Give You Up”), or to be satirical like the video below with Mitt Romney singing “The Real Mitt…
Youtube Interactive Videos
Psh! Why just watch Youtube videos when you could PLAY them? Rather than just staring at the computer screen, new kinds of videos called Interactive Videos encourage users to interact with the video by clicking on the embedded annotations. This fad started around 2008 when annotations were first created, originally used for commentary purposes. Videos like these are like the…

After years of research, Gail Dines, a sociologist and an anti-pornography activist, demonstrates how pornography has created a negative impact on our culture and the way we…
Judith Game
I played through this game twice to try to get a basic understanding of the plot. This story could be taken many different ways, but what I seemed to gather from it was that the 2 characters Emily and Jeff were in the future and Judith and her husband were in the past (since Emily had said that the castle…
“The Garden of Forking Paths”
It took me FOREVER to finally figure out that the story “The Garden of…” wasn’t in chronological order. Once my frustration had subsided, I was able to find the story’s main message. In my opinion, the story symbolizes how life never has one set path and that the choices one make determine their destiny. It also represents how simultaneous paths…
