This week I continued to read Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver. In the section I read this week, Codi begins to adapt to living in Grace, her hometown. She gets use to living in her friend's guest house with all the kids. She is not quite use to to the town. She still feels out of place just like she did when she was still living at home. People keep talking to her but they don't know what to say. Codi finds the conversations awkward and uncomfortable. When her friend throws a party for labor day, Codi feels even more out of place and doesn't engage in many conversations.

Loss of Privacy

Loss of privacy is when the information a person enters into a website is leaked to outside sources. For example if you post a picture onto a photo sharing site with the intention of it being viewable to only a small group of people. They do not expect the photo to be seen by the rest of the world but unfornately this has become the norm unless the user sets specfic privacy regulations.

Before I started making my video, I first went to nytimes.com and looked for an article. I skimmed a couple of articles and then choose the one that interested me the most. After that I googled pictures related to the syrian protests. As I found the pictures I saved them and then wrote the links for each picture down in a word document. Next i opened up iMovie and imported the pictures I found. I then, created a title page and which included the name of the article. After I placed the pictures in the order I wanted them to show up.
