Look at me now
Description:
In this Look at Me Now project we went over different parts of a story and we wrote those things, it consisted of Theme, Setting, Conflict, Characterization, Protagonist, Antagonist, Flashback, Irony, Symbolism, and foreshadow. Everyone in the class wrote those 10 in a paragraph each and we made as if our life was the story and this project was really fun and it was enjoyable to write and show people. After we wrote all 10 paragraphs we made a a product that showed it and my product was a poster with pictures and my paragraphs and my idea into this product is that since in characterization can only be 3 people I wanted to show all the people who make a impact in my life and that I love and are great friends to me and this project was overall great. The 10 paragraphs and image of my product is right below.

10 Paragraphs Isaac Ellis
9-4-18
Theme
The message that I would want is that life is supposed to be filled with enjoyment and that helping people is the way to fulfill yourself. I want to make others see that a life without changing someone else’s in a good way is not the way to go. This is because everyone is happy to be the person getting helped but never tried to help another person.
Setting
I would chose my church because I am there so much with my current internship there. I am there from 6-3 on every Sunday so I'm there quite a lot.The description of my churches sanctuary is a very large room with screens in the front with technological booths in the back and center of it, and in the very front an elevated stage with musical trinkets and instruments all about with stage lights all around the ceiling pointed towards the stage area.
Conflict
Man vs Self would probably be the only conflict in my life because others don’t affect me as much until i think about myself and everything negative about myself while not focusing about positive things, but once something is inside of my head it starts to be conflict in my head on where i would sell myself short, that i would not believe in myself at times for being scared of failure.
Characterization
The 3 Most important people in my life right now are probably are Jake Belmonte, Travis Taylor, and my Sister. I chose these 3 because they have the biggest impact in my life currently. My sister because she is who I look up to my life, and that’s who I envy and who I want to grow up as a person (but being a guy). Jake Belmonte because he is one of my youth leaders that ive known forever when he was a middle schooler, and I see everything hes been able to do in life, ministry work and be able to work at my church he's who I would want to be in a career standpoint, and Travis because he is one of the best people have ever met, he is just such a caring heart warming person, who feels for others and I would love to be like him spiritually in the future.
Protagonist
One person that is the protagonist in my life would be Travis because he makes me want to be like him which makes me want to be the best I can be, if it either means being as nice, caring, spiritually there, or even the musical abilities he makes me want to just learn his ways and be a impact on other peoples lives like no other.
Antagonist
In my life I like to surround myself with people who are good for me but for the moment I believe it would be myself, i’m not saying i'm a bad influence on myself or anything but I am saying that since I think about the negative in myself a lot I kind of force some sort of sadness/conflict within myself.
Flashback
Any flashbacks in my life that perceive bad in my eye I often think about those scenarios a lot and how I could have been a lot better, the mishaps that made me be perceived the wrong way, but one off the top of my mind is saying something in front of someone I really respect their opinion and who I look up to.
Irony
Some irony that has happened to me was when i thought I was going to have a really bad team this year but then once I walk in it was just like “The boys lets go . It's because I thought once i asked one or two people that I somewhat would want them in my class it seemed like it was over after that moment.
Symbolism
One thing in my room that would probably want to be symbolized to is to a bed, because I want others to be as comfortable as possible and to be happy, I want people to be happy they see me and sad to say goodbye.
Foreshadow
One thing i'm currently in that could set something up for my future is probably having my internship right now because it is building a relationship with a place I would like to work at one day would be good because if I had a opportunity to work at my church in any way shape or form I would do it because it supports one of my life long goals to make a difference in as many peoples lives as possible and having this internship can really help with those things and my goals

Look at Me Now Reflection
This short project was very interesting and not like any other project I have done before. There where ups and downs and one thing I think I really struggled with the artistic piece in the beginning and it started me off slow and I really didn't have many ideas because I really wanted to be extraordinary with it but I couldn't think of anything so I just got a hard wood surface and made a poster type with pictures and my paragraphs which even though I liked I really feel like it could have been more original. Even though that was a struggle since I am not the most creative personnel area that wasn't necessarily easy for me but more of fun and something I didn't mind doing is the 10 paragraphs. Even though for many others who did this project would put these two vice versa I found it very easy and enjoyable to think of everyone who makes a impact on my life and I felt as if I got deep into my own mind and I actually sat in one place and found new things about myself and I thought deeply about things I don't think about and that was way easier than anything else, and It became easier once we got others point of views about my paragraphs and peer critique that we did and it really helped me fix the few things in there. I am so happy that we did that peer critique because that gave me help and gave me the opportunity to critique a few of my peers. One of the people that I helped/critique was my good friend Gus King. I gave him very good critique about how to fix a few things and to fix a few of the spelling and I talked to him a lot about his 10 paragraphs and his ideas onto characterization and his antagonist. He had most of what he had there in his 10 paragraphs but he just had to add that serious aspect in his writing which is what he did. I worked a lot with Gus in this project which was good because he helped me out a vast majority of the time but we both had our moments of slacking off but most of the time we worked good and I feel as if when I finished my 10 paragraphs a few days early I started to get comfortable and I didn't think about the future stuff but more on the few things I had to do and once I finished those things I found myself distracted a couple of times but I feel that I worked hard on all of my things in the same time and even though I would talk or mess around for short bits of time I feel that I am overall still proud with this project and how it went. With project too I feel like I am also very happy on how I wrote my 10 paragraphs and I feel like in this project and the critique helped It out because usually my writing is pretty good but my biggest problem was the large amount of lowercased I. I feel that once you read my 10 paragraphs rough draft it was very noticeable but I was able to fix it up and It looked quite good, and if I was to grade myself on the quitting I would probably give my self a A- because I worked hard and it is well done in the final draft I feel like it is not my highest potential in writing. Even though I wouldn't really change much about this project since it was so enjoyable and good I feel like If I had to change something I feel like I would take more time to think of a more creative art piece because it isn't as artistic as I would want it and I feel as if it is also very plain as well. One thing in this short essay that I feel like I have expressed is how much I really enjoyed this project and it wasn't just the products and writing I also feel like I have learned so much on how without all of the core pieces of a story it would be a lot worse and I learned that without the core people and things in my life, my life would be a lot worse, and I am so very happy that I have these things in my life. |
