Final Presentation

This is the info graphic  of my final presentation.

And in the final presentation, I mainly talked about what did I do, what I've learned and what the electronic literature taught me. 

What I did in the last week for the Lying Cotton Review

First of all, I've given all the bonus out. And I finished the purchasing of foods and cake. The cake is designed by myself and I am really excited about it. I handed in the budget and invoices to school, so the finical department of school can do their work. Besides, I plan the party with Production group. Hope we can have a nice party and a good ending of this class!

These are foods for party~

About Electronic Literature

Electronic literature, the same as Digital Literature, is a literary genre consisting of works of literature that originate within digital environments and require digital computation to be read. And this semester, we learn a lot about electronic. In contrast to the traditional print, electronic literature is more fresh. That means that electronic literature can update information quickly. It is created specifically to be used via a digital setting and thus cannot be printed as key elements of the text require computation: for instance there may be links, generative aspects, multimedia content, animation or reader interaction in addition to the verbal text. Electronic literature may also take the form of digitally mediated performance writing. Electronic literature are usually searchable, it can be made instantly accessible to the visually impaired. It is important that Electronic literature is often free, and, perhaps best of all, they’re accessible right now. For example, Lying Cotton Review is open for everyone free. And the disadvantage of  Electronic literature is that focusing for long periods of time on a non-interactive object such as a Victorian novel or a complicated math problem. It cannot be kept easily.

What I did in the last week for the Lying Cotton Review

The most important is that I give the bonus to the people who get the awards. And I get the signs of them for school requires to do it. According to our group members' advise, I buy a lot of things for the ceremony. The drinks, snakes and cakes are all prepared well. And there are some details I need to discuss with the cake shop. There are about sixty people would come to the ceremony. I would try my best to make the ceremony prefect, and everyone enjoy himself. Besides, I do the budget in Chinese and arrange the invoices, so the financial department of   school can do the job. 

Ending of "Killing Alec"

Ending

      He climbed out of the hole, glistening in mud. He really was beautiful. We admired him. We exhaled smoke again, slowly this time. Thoughtful.

     

          "I am tired." He said.

      "Do you want some juice?" Tiffany wants to help him stand up from the mud, "you know I love you."

      "Yes, I know all of you love me." 

     Alec looks at me. Yes, I know he loves me the most. He loves me more than others. I run to him and huge him. 

      "What are you doing?" said Caroline, "how could you huge him in front of us? I know you love him, but we are friends, you cannot let me see you huge him."

       "Oh why can't I huge him? Is he belong to you? He is my boyfriend!!"

       "He is my boyfriend. He said love me. My sweetie Alec right?" Tiffany.

       Alec looks down at his cell phone and he suddenly says: "I am going to have dinner at 5 with Ann so I leave now. Bye."

      We look at each other and say "who is Ann?" together. 

      Alec smiles and waves his hand. He really was beautiful. We admired him. We exhaled smoke again. 

      We talk his charming smile all the way back. 

What I did in the last week for the Lying Cotton Review

First of all, we get the award list of poem and fiction. The art group is still working on it. Secondly, I finally get the money from school! It is not easy for I've communicated with the teachers for five times. And Chinese system is always troublesome. I have to show school all the "fa piao"(invoice) of ceremony things purchasing and web site fee. What's more, I have to get the signatures of all the people who get award. Lastly, I help two head editors to coordinate work with all the groups, and help them to make decision.

Superman 

save the world  

President Obama

The icon I select is superman, very famous hero for he fought with bad guy and saved the world. 

Many people like superman for his brave and justice. 

Obama is the president of America. 

When he became the president, America was facing serious finacial crisis. 

When he run for the job of president, he says that under his leading, America can over come it with all people's hard work.  

Response to the Definition of Love

When you search “love” in the Internet, there will be millions of explanations. What is love? Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. It can refer to an emotion of a strong attract and personal attachment. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another”.

Ancient Greeks identified four forms of love: kinship or family love, friendship, sexual or desire, and self-emptying or divine love. And modern people have distinguished more kinds of love.

In my opinion, love is you like one thing and take responsibility. In Kill Alce, Alce says he loves all these women. That is not love, its like. If he really loves one people, he would not have so many ambiguous girlfriends. He would want to marry the people and live with her for a whole life. Nowadays, everyone says that “I love you” casually and regardless of the responsibility of love. Love is not only about pleasure, but about responsibility.
