This is my mini project for Humanities. What I did was i took two pictures and put the together i then erased some of the stars so that you could see the house. I also created another layer that its purpose was to Darken the house because it was daytime in the original picture.
Utopian short stories
The year is 2081 and everything has gone to hell. This has only happened because there is no longer a higher power. God is dead to the people and there is no president. As soon as president Covington resigned they didn't elect a new president. That's when the riots started there was the government a group of people still fighting for control, there was the freedom fighters fighting to free the people of the rebels. The rebels are the ones who fight to enslave the people. But actually it’s a free for all every man for himself every woman for herself unless you're part of a clan that's where people look out for you and take care of you. But let's start from the beginning the very beginning it was 2063 and a single mother had just had a baby it was about 0100 hours “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” The mother screamed in pain “ almost there the nurse said soothingly “Waaah, waaaah.” Cried the baby “What will his name be?” She answer quietly, “Xander”.... Xander’s flashback ended and he is back in the prison cell. “Well there you go you life flashing before your eyes this is an 8 day progress before you are executed.” First it's your birth then your childhood following what happened after that for example your trial. And the guard started to walk out but was stopped by Xander. “Wait where are you going oh didn't you hear they are making a new law i'm going to watch what it will be.” And the guard walked out without another word. Bang, Xander woke up frightened he heard loud commotion there were gunshot followed by screams. “I saw the new law” screamed a Prisoner, “There is no higher power let us out.” Another gunshot followed. A guard yelled, “that's why we are killing you all of you we need to get rid of the prisoners.” “Wait no i'm innocent I have the proof I didn't kill my mother.” Xander begged them not to kill him. “Okay get him out of there!” They put a bag over his head the bags these days the bags are soundproof so that no one can hear what's happening but xander heard a small muffled sound of fully automatic guns shooting. About an hour later of driving the car stopped and they got out. When they pulled off the bag they had quit walking inside a warehouse. “Here put this on.” order one of the guards, “what is it.” “It's a vision modifier in the form of eye contacts.” everyone has to wear them now it part of the new law.”answered a guard “Who are you?” The first guard took off her mask and reveal one of the most beautiful women that Xander has ever seen. My name is Lucy and this is Dutch.” The other guard took off his mask as well and revealed scars everywhere. “It is now every man for himself out there, we need to gather equipment and weapons.” “But i don't know how to fight i didn't actually kill anyone remember.” “BUZZ BUZZ BEEP” A radio near by started going off, the three heard gunshots and screams then someone started talking. it was a calm voice. “Lucy Lucy can you hear me they are right outside but will be gone soon hurry.” Who was that?” asked Xander, “That was john he's another prisoner like you But he was only in for stealing so we got him out.” “But what about all the innocent people?” We can't save everyone Xander That's why we chose you your honest all of the other inmates would have turned as soon as we took the mask off but why even make that law.” “ because we don't need someone to control us any more we can thrive on our own.” but we do need a higher power otherwise everything goes downhill.” “We need to tear down who ever supports this law because that law stops all other and makes everyone have the same authority.” “We must be on our way.““Where are we going.” To the the other clans” 15 Minutes later The car pulled to a stop They all loaded their gun and Xander prepared his time bomb. “Locked and loaded.” “Let's go!” They walked in and the black ops bombed them… “ Get down yelled Xander, He ran and tackled John.I told you to get down why don’t you listen?” “I couldn't move m..m...my...my.. body froze!”, shouted John Lucy walked up behind them and pulled them back with Dutches help. “We need to get out of here now before the second bomb goes off.” There was another loud explosion and they all went flying in to the air once everything had settled the entire building was gone. “What happen, asked John the second bomb went off we had pull you two from the wreckage That was all of them i cant beleive they walked right into our trap. “Xander can i speak to you privately” asked john.“sure, what is it.” “I was waiting for the right moment to tell you this but i was the one who killed your mother.” “YOU DID WHAT! I did time for that they thought it was me!” Xander then pulled out his gun and shot him. three times to the head dutch went to stop him but Xander Just pistol whipped him and knocked him out. Lucy screamed “ WHY DID YOU DO THAT” “He killed my mother he needed to die we couldn't trust him he would've done the same to all of us.” “But he did’nt, we won…”

Mask Essay
"Imagine you walk into your house. Standing before you is Bernard Lassimone, the creator of the pencil sharpener. He asks, "Do you think my design will work?"What changes would you make to his original design? In this essay I will be talking about how the pencil sharpener was socialized by mainstream population, what mechanical components of the pencil sharpener allow it to sharpen pencils, that there was not a group of people who designed it, yet many people added onto it, and how the pencil sharpener affected the public when it came out and with the new designs now. The pencil sharpener has been socialized to sharpen pencils but to some it has not thus far been perfected and is still to come. The pencil sharpener was based on grinding and twisting two files at a 90 degree angle inside a block of wood. The design itself created by Bernard Lassimone did not catch on because it was no faster than than whittling the pencil. As noted by The Early Office Museum, “This sharpener employed small metal files set at 90 degrees in a block of wood and worked to scrape and grind the edges of the pencil’s tip.” This helps explain how the main mechanics work to sharpen the pencil. The pencil sharpener was socialized by the mainstream population. It was socialized this way because if it wasn't it would not be here today. According to the keeney's office supplies “ Walter K. Foster patented the first American pencil sharpener in 1851, improving on Estwaux’s cone shaped design and making it so the tool could be easily mass produced.” And that is how mainstream population changed the pencil sharpener. Who made the pencil sharpener, was it a group or just an individual? The maker of the pencil sharpener was not a group of people but instead individuals who added onto the original design. It started with lassimone’s design who originally created it then a frenchman named Therry des Estwaux improved on Lassimone’s design and came up with the first sharpener that worked by twisting the pencil in a conical housing, a design known today as a prism sharpener. After that Walter K. Foster patented the first American pencil sharpener in 1851, improving on Estwaux’s cone shaped design and making it able to be mass produced. That shows how the pencil sharpener was created by multiple people at once not at the same time. The pencil sharpener affected people because it made it easier to sharpen pencils and it made it faster. and now they have made a silent pencil sharpener without the annoying grinding noise. With new ideas I think that the pencil is going to get a whole lot easier for the public to sharpen. but even with our technology today think back before the pencil sharpener was made and what people did… although it was a rough life they still practiced some of the same stuff as us but they wrote everything with a pencil and they had to take and knife the pencil and whittle it to sharpen it. In conclusion,The pencil sharpener has been socialized to sharpen pencils but to some it has not yet been perfected and is still yet to come. and in this essay i think that i have explained very well how the pencil sharpener was socialized by mainstream population, what mechanical components of the pencil sharpener allow it to sharpen pencils, that there and how the pencil sharpener affected the public when it came out and with was not a group of people who designed it, yet many people added on the it, the new designs now.
