This is a site that I had to create for a COM 101 course that I took in 2020. This site is giving an overall view on factors that made me the person I am today but at a much deeper level. It starts from looking deep into myself to looking deep into people I know to looking into places that I cherish to viewing controversial topics that have many opinions in this world to taking a closer look at the world I live in. These factors made me who I am today and this site made me explain and see for myself how all these factors affected me in a detailed and deeper way.
The title gives a hint of what this project is like which is a thunderstorm. Many of us went, going, or are going to get into a situation or situations that feel like a thunderstorm that will never end. Thunderstorms are dark, hold a lot of meaning, and fierce. This one word that has so much meaning is a word that can sum up what I discovered about my journey through this project. My project uses many different tactics to connect to the readers. I used verbal media like an audio interview, visual media such as pictures, and aural media such as video. My project also goes from exposition and narrative. I learned through this project that written words goes hand in hand with was we see, hear, and say. Therefore, including videos, audios, and pictures really make those written words shine and give more emotion and further explanation of what’s being said. It even attracts the readers into wanting to read more and understanding more. Also, in the end, written words like an essay and a story, speak to people and get them thinking, but what makes them different is the structure of it and the words used to describe what’s going on. They both get to the emotions of the readers if written well. This is also how I created my project to be like, filled with emotion, meaning, and self-reflecting. A piece that will truly stand out.
My project is a very strong piece that will connect to the readers and let them think about who I am, who they are, and how the world truly is. First, I build up the events in a very specific way. This specific way of developing the events gradually makes the reader’s heart slowly develop a connection to the piece and have so many emotions that would make the reader want to know more. My piece also is also very honest. Anyone who reads it could easily tell that I wasn’t hiding anything. This creates a stronger relationship between the reader and the author because it creates a feeling of friendship. It acts like they know the author personally and understands them which will make the connection develop even more. I also added a lot of explanations to my piece to further the understanding of what I mean but also let some loose ends for the reader to think for themselves and try to put themselves in my position. All these factors will really make one enjoy reading my piece and also get to know more about themselves because my piece acts as a mirror. One would eventually start reflecting everything that’s being said on themselves which results in gaining more information about who they truly are and more about how the world truly is. from what’s being said, this piece will definitely gain attention and make all minds thinking about me, themselves, and the world. Enjoy the ride!.
