Stop Motion: Short Story Project
This project aimed to recreate the main points of A “Mountain Journey“ in Lego. In the creation of our film we used Lego props and paper. For the scenes we used what we thought was most important to the story. My role in this project was the editing, photography, the upload, and some of the planning.

The Qualities of Dave Conroy
Dave Conroy a trapper in the Canadian wilderness and decides to go trapping alone, but he faces an unexpected enemy. Dave Conroy is a character from the book A Mountain Journey by Howard O’Hagan. After a trip of trapping Dave Conroy wants to get back to the cabin where his friend is staying but he has to traverse through the Canadian bush to get back. Although Dave is an experienced trapper, he has some unfortunate qualities, like his eagerness to get back, his impulsive decisions which inhibited his survival, and his overall carelessness. In the beginning of the story when Dave Conroy first sets off on his trip, instead of setting up camp he continues on his journey which also displays his ambition. One of Dave Conroy’s biggest mistakes was when he kept avoiding setting up camp, “he should have made a fire when he fell through the ice”(95). His eagerness to get back made him think he could make it back in time. Dave Conroy is a muscular person. Dave Conroy is likely fit, as a person would need to be fit to survive in the wilderness alone, when he was skiing “his legs moving back and forth beneath him seemed tireless.”

All About Me
Snails. They’re great. What can’t they do? A lot but that doesn’t keep them from being fascinating. My earliest memory of snails was from when I was at school. The sky was cloudy and dark as if a curtain and been pulled over the sky. While I was walking through the gravel field that crunched beneath my feet, I caught sight of a snail. My knowledge of snails at the time was limited and the only thing I truly knew about snails was how slow they are. Snails move remarkably slow approximately a fifth of a kilometer in a day, they also excrete a thin layer of mucus wherever they go. Like most mucus it is a viscous, sticky liquid and it also protects them from nearly all surfaces they crawl over. At the time I didn’t know this, after all snails only look like a slow and boring gastropod but everyone knows deep down that isn’t true. There isn’t much to snails at first sight, and they’re nearly silent but up close you could mistake the sound of a snail for the sound of someone eating jello quietly. You won’t only see a snail on a plant but also a plate. Escargot is a dish that consists of your favourite gastropod, the snail. These snails are often served in a rich bath of butter and garlic, although most people may consider this as unsettling, for many others it is a delicacy. Snails are so exciting, they move slow, are small, and have a shell, so it would be no surprise that snails changed my life a few days ago.
I woke up in my bed refreshed as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Ready for a new day I rolled onto my feet and walked over to my chair. In my chair I turned on my computer. At first, I couldn’t find topics to write about for a writing assignment when snails crossed my mind. “Snails they’re pretty neat” I thought and that’s when I got the idea for my assignment, this idea changed my life and what I would write about. Snails may not have made a large impact upon my life, but they did have an impact. If someone ever asks, “Hey I wonder if snails change shells like hermit crabs” I can tell them “No their shell is a part of them and without their shell they die from drying out”. Without snails I would know nothing about them and how they look. Snails are so inspirational, they move excruciatingly slow, yet they haven’t gone extinct from predators, so far, I strive to be like the snail, slow and alive.
