#2 Single Story 2011

"Danger of a Single Story"

1.What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

I think it means an impression on a person place or thing.

2.Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?

A single story about East Austin is that we have poor education and that our economy is very bad.

3.Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?

A single story I heard is about South Side, that they have better education and nicer houses. But in South Side it leads to bigger problems.

4.How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or a community?

Its telling people the stereo type about other people like for example if in the game it shows African Americans steeling from people or places that's a stereo type.

3-DS

"Man!",Thats pretty cool that they made a new Nintendo DS that is way more hi tech then the old one. The new Nintendo DS is 3-D, I mean how cool is that!We watched a video that was about the guy who invented the new Nintendo 3-DS and he was on a talk show talking about the 3-DS. He was also playing some games that I thought were pretty cool becuase he was using the camera on the Nintendo 3-DS to play them. The game was using a card that was on the desk and 3-D shapes started to pop out of the card, but in the game screen. Whatever the background is on the camera, that is the image that will apear on the game. That is so cool!

Who I Would Put In My Game

"Wow!", Thats cool that you got to see Mike Tyson Mrs.Arcos Evans. Well the celeberty that I would put into my game is Cristiano Ronaldo, he is a famous soccer player that plays for Real Madrid, ooh ehs Portegues by the way. I would market my comercials by making them exiting, I would talk or do something intersting so the people around the world would buy my game. If I go on talk shows it would be cool, but like I said I would do something intersting so I can interest people to buy my game."Man", I want this game to be good so I could have a chance to meet my favorite professional soccer player, Cristiano Ronaldo!
