Multimodal Microtheme

The microtheme was way more challenging than I thought it was going to be. I really thought that a one page paper would be such a breeze, but it definitely wasn't. I wrote about why we tend to lie. I was doing really good with the paper until I got to the last paragraph of the paper. I struggled a lot with how I should end with paragraph, but I worked with Dr. Kyburz so I'm pretty sure I ended my paper well. My Multimodal was bad. I went home the weekend before to try and catch my niece and nephew lying, but it was not turning out the way I wanted it to. I didn't have a back up plan, which I should have. In my head, it was going to turn out good, but nope didn't happen. If I could redo it, I would take Dr Kyburz advice and question my niece after she lied. I provided a link to my multimodal.

Microtheme

I decided to write my microtheme about lying. I chose this topic because in my opinion, we all do it whether we want to or not. I think I've wrote about 3 causes that get to the point on why people lie. Im struggling on what pictures I should use for my Microtheme. I want to take the pictures myself but I don't have an idea of what pictures to take. I was thinking about take pictures of my niece and nephew because they constantly lie to each other about taking the other ones toys.  Does anyone have any ideas of pictures I should use that will go along with my Microtheme?

Kanye


I'm so happy fall break landed this past Thursday-Sunday. I got to spend sometime with my family, which was much needed after the week I had. Saturday, I got to see one of my favorite artist, Kanye. I have been looking forward to Kanye since I bought my ticket in July. I was also excited about surprising my boyfriend with his ticket to Kanye for his birthday. It was kind of funny because he would complain whenever we were together that I was going with friends, so when he found out he was going, he was legit speechless. I got to Allstate Arena around 6:30 because I knew the line would be super long and I really wanted to buy merchandise. I got my merchandise and the doors opened right after. It was like a swarm of people trying to get through 2 doors. The concert was supposed to begin at 8, but of course Kanye was late to his own concert. At exactly 9:45, Kayne got on his floating stage and started singing his heart out. He played some throwback songs from previous albums and from his latest album Life of Pablo. When he started playing Heartless, I went crazy because it's one of my favorite songs from him. My phone is filled with videos and pictures of Kanye. Kanye ended the concert with Ultralight Beam which was a perfect song to end with. I was really hoping he would bring out Chance the Rapper, but he did good alone. At the end of the concert, everyone is trying to rush out to try and get out of the parking lot. It took me an hour to try and get out of the parking lot, which really got me mad. But then I kept thinking all about how I just saw Kanye so I got excited again and listened to his music. Kanye's concert was one of the best I've ever been to!
