Feithscreen

I own a lot of shoes, watches and cologne. I have never known why I like these things so much but if I were to be "obsessed" with anything it would be these things. I am known to collect them in a way, I think I just enjoy them a lot. For some people its cars or even books but I guess these things act as my own security blanket.

The Quest Schema

The initiation process behind me identifying with the Fresh Prince tv show and the series of unfortunate events has to do with the plot of both. That is what drew me in first, well actually I think hearing about how good they were from other people is what initially got to me to get so invested in them both but once I realized I enjoyed the stories and could relate to the character in the fresh prince that's when it became obvious as to why I used them in the discourse. They both played a role in shaping my identity in a way and started the "initiation process" behind me picking certain scenes, images and texts to use in the completion of these exercises and discourse pages.

On the Premises

In my entertainment discourse I guess the senders would be the novel series and the show Fresh Prince of Bel air or rather the content creators behind them. I am the receiver of course, since I was the one who read/watched them. What drew me in to both of them was the plot or story behind them both, I was so invested in the characters and story line which is interesting because out of everyone in my family I actually watch tv and read the least so for me to identify with those two things provides a big premise on the on foundation of who I am as a person and what/who I identify with.

High Concept

There isn't a common figure in my discourses but their is a common object so to speak. That would be media, in my career it would be the USG and its approach to explain what needs are met through the consumption of media. In my family discourse I talk about my first cell phone which was my first encounter with new media and then the first book series that I read as a kid as well as my favorite tv show that I grew up watching that made a lot of connections with who I am as a person. Media connects all my discourses which in a way doesn't surprise me because of how deep my interst is in studying it and its effects but in terms of my relationship with it I think it is a tool of knowledge but also something I use for my own personal day to day tasks.

Lyric Evaluation

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that's shine ain't always gonna be gold (hey)
I'll be fine once I get it, get it in, I'll be good

Tell me what you know about dreamin' (dreamin')
You ain't really know bout nothin' (nothin')
Tell me what you know about the night terrors every night
5 A-M cold sweats, waking up to the sky
Tell me what you know about dreams (dreams)
Tell me what you know about night terrors nothin'
You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow,
Rather lay awake in the bed full of sorrow

These are lyrics from my favorite song, Pursuit of Happiness. The song itself is about the artist's own journey to find happiness and his experiences/battles along the way. The lyrics are his way not only telling his story but also identifying with people who can relate to his story too. 

Being singular

Orality- Whenever I am with my friends and family I feel comfortable and relaxed. There are things though I would share with one group that I wouldn't necessarily share with the other but both groups help create a sense of belonging for me.

Literacy- The piece of literature that sticks out would be the bible. I grew up in church and memorizing a lot of scripture and was always taught to live by those scriptures. They would be what I would go to in times of uncertainty or just to learn and it played a part in molding me as a kid.

Eletracy- I use the internet for social media and of school, I interact a lot with my close group of friends and family so I guess that would suggest my need to be engaged with people. I rely on social media a lot to stay connected with people.

Noticing Default Moods

I have noticed that when I am at work my mood changes quite drastically. I could be having the best of days and then as soon as it is time for me to go to work I'm not in such a good mood and it is interesting because as soon as I leave work I'm not as stressed or in a bad mood. My job stresses me out a lot to say the least, but in terms of default moods I automatically associate work with an unpleasant mood. It immediately triggers a default mood that I only feel when I'm at work.
