The goal of this assignment was to show what we had learned about the book, The Life of Pi. Or, more or less, what we had learned from the book. This project was the last of the second quarter so it was a big thing. There were several ways the project could have gone, a comic, a portrait, an art piece, an essay, etc. I chose to do a mix between an art piece and a portrait. I chose this project because not only did I like how it turned out I liked what it represented of the book. If you haven't read the Life of Pi, don't, it's a graphic story of a boy retelling his story of his entire family dying in an ship accident and him being stranded at sea for a year with a tiger. The tiger in question being Richard Parker, a representation of Pi's animalistic side, stuff he wouldn't do before the accident. The book used a lot of symbolism which I tried to translate into my project. That's why even though artistically it could better, I like it it represents some of the stronger symbolism in the book. Symbolism was a big theme in second quarter. I used a few 21st Century Skills in this project. Thinking and Problem Solving, now I know it may seem like I wasn't problem solving but literary analysis is also a part of this skill and I think I used it pretty well to analyze this writing. Self-directional, despite popular belief I do actually do homework of my own volition. New growth, well for one I used to be really bad at understanding a reading, honestly I don't know how I made it this far. I don't think any of it really got through to me. Now I suppose I finally got used to reading and understanding, processing and getting an outcome. Getting something out of the reading is the important part I guess, pulling something away, so I would say I've grown on that.
