Fahrenheit 451 Visual Aspect
These images are a representation of Guy Montag’s journey as an average citizen, not as a hero. I used China as an example both in the collage and in the essay because of its famous censorship system. John 8:32 verse is an allusion to when Montag thinks about “a time to break down and a time to speak.” The images of nature are representative of when he was on the…
Titan
Titan I need a moment So I can listen to the stars Mourning in their stories Their arduous twinkling, so far and sparse. History has a tendency to remember victory But Victory forgets the lost. Society always neglects to mention The extent of the cost. I know they love playing God While their hearts and eyes silently weep As if there’s nothing left to keep. Yet they hide…

In this presentation, I was given the role of Connector and Visual Enhancer. We worked with pages 32- 38.

His childhood was greatly marred by the Great Depression, influencing the way he upheld work and life. He attended DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. At the young age of 17, Lee got a job working as a script writer for Timely Comics, what would later become known as…
The Life and Times and Trials and Tribulations of Alan Turing
Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition. Throughout history, people on the LGBTQIA spectrum have commonly been ousted from society, despite extraordinary talents and abilities. Alan Mathison Turing is an excellent example. Born on 23 June 1912 in Maida Vale, London, Turing worked as a logician/ mathematician. During WW2, he was instrumental in breaking the German Enigma code, leading to Allied victory over Nazi Germany. During his…
