Digital Stories 2


The next Digital story I picked was The Mountain by Amy Johns because I felt like I could relate to her story because I also love the outdoors. I really liked how she told her story because at first you think it is going to be a wonderful story of her growing up and playing in the Mountains, but then you learn how money and greed can take over and ruin the what you love. This story hits a lot of issues that the world is facing to day with our energy crisis and I think Amy does a great job explaining how we as humans can destroy the earth to make some money. I like how Amy tells the story she tells of how the mountain changes as she grows up and how her niece will not get to enjoy the mountain like she did. This helps get her point across that the mining company's are not only ruining it for Amy but for generations of outdoor loving people.

Digital Stories


I stumbled across a great digital story titled Listening for my Great Grandfather by Kyle Bajakian in this story Kyle the narrator talks about his Great Grandfather stories of being an adventurer and author in the rough Canadian terrain. In this story Kyle uses vivid words,music, and pictures to help describe what his Great Grandfather was like as a person. He tells of how his Great Grandfather died of a insect bite and how his Great Grandfathers life was changed by a bear attack. Even though its a short digital story Kyle gives you enough information to know what kind of person his Great Grandfather is. The pictures also help tell the story as well because you see a picture of snakes, bears, moose, mountains rapids and other adventurous things. The picture that Kyle chooses to use tell the audience that his Great Grandfather liked to take risk and was a real adventurer. I really enjoyed this digital story I just wish I could hear more stories about his Great Grandfather's crazy embellished stories.
