About Me

Blog #1

With technological advances there are many different ways to read books. Ebooks, scanned copies, and printed books are a few of the ways you can read.  Printed books are my favorite to use. I love the smell of the pages, and the sound of the paper as you turn the page. You get to read…

Timeline

The timeline of Zone One jumps around quite a lot between the past and present. My timeline will focus in on the past memories that Mark Spitz has while living through this horrific world. It also shows how similar the skels are to humans. It occurs quite often that Mark relives a past event due to…

Video Game Design

             If I had to create a video game based off of Zone One, it would have to be a 3D, open world video game. It would also have an aspect of a role-playing game (RPG) and a third-person shooter. An open world game allows for the player to explore freely. Open world games provide players…

Zone One Mapping

Personally, I did not find this mappin tool to be too much help. I can understand in some cases where mapping out locations can be beneficial. I do not believe that it needed to be done for this book. Throughout the book, Mark Spitz is jumping around from memory to real life, but the locations…

Hestia

Digital humanities projects are becoming more and more common and study a variety of different topics. The projects typically look at history or literary works. The digital humanities project that I will be looking at is called Hestia. The most important reason I chose this project was because it has a combination of both history…

Attractiveness of Zombies

Ghosts, ghouls, and spirits used to be the most talked about fictional creatures. Midway through the twentieth century that had changed. A new fictional character arose; it was cannibalistic and looked somewhat human. It was called a zombie and instantly blew up. I believe there are a lot of reasons as to why zombies blew…

Data Set (Parish Relevance)

Cole Conlon  The hardest part about reading Defoe’s “A Journal of the Plague Year” is keeping up with the location and where all the deaths are from. I tried coming up with a solution to see what parishes are most talked about in helping me better understand. So, I chose to take a deeper look…

Blog post #3

Twelfth Night is a play written by Shakespear and was a comedy, which also had a lot of irony throughout it. I wanted to use Voyant tools to test a theory that I had. Given that the play is ironic, I wanted to see if there was a connection between the word “fool” and the…

Guide to Survival

The reason for the historical data is crucial to the understanding of the book. I did a slight bit of research to see the timeline of events that led up to the release of this novel. Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year was written 57 years after the great plague of London in…
