Searching for a Portfolio Website
So obviously with one of my main goals from this project being the creation of a portfolio, I have to find a suitable website that's affordable and fits all my needs. I spent a total of about three and a half hours going through different websites. To get a feel for all the options, i created TONS of sample websites/free accounts. After all the pros and cons, i finally settled on a website called Folio HD. once i made my payment, i finally got to put the finishing touches on everything! Im really pleased with the way things turned out, and cant wait to start posting more randomness on it. My website can be found here.

1984 Chp. 1-3
Through the first few reading chapters, Winston Smith's greatest conflict is trying to hold back his feeling of rebellion for Oceania. Oceania is a highly monitored state filled with big brother propaganda and telescreens. These telescreens not only televise propaganda, news, and hatred for enemies, but it also contains a camera that watches civilians every move. Winston shows his disgust for this totalitarian society by writing "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" repeatedly in his secret journal. Winston's hatred for the government is also shown during the two minute hate when he seems anger not at the enemy, "but, on the contrary, against Big Brother, the Party, and the Thought Police.." Winston's feelings for Oceania are also expressed through his repetition of describing the ways Big Brother is watching. He later goes on to claim that "nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your head." This goes to show that he feels extremely violated and has put up with this watch for long enough.

Stranger Than Fiction
The Author of a story is the person who physically records a story by writing it, while a narrator is a person that the author chooses to almost sort of voice the story. The narrator is the all-knowing teller of the story, who is actually in the story. So basically an author writes, while a narrator speaks to the targeted audience. In the film, the author was the actual person who wrote the film, but the narrator was Karen Eiffel.
In my capstone paper, i tried my best to provide a fact-based work of writing with as little bias as possible. Although i feel strongly on some topics, that was a bit of a challenge. I think that in this way though, the readers will most likely agree with what i wrote and hopefully feel more passionate about scientific research.
