Brigettes' Masterpiece (Children and Divorce)

-Original goal was to create a support group for anyone whose family is going through a divorce or whose family is going through yet soon realized that this is a tough subject for most people to talk about because no one ever wants to discuss what's wrong with their parents or their family in general
-When going through a divorce at a young age you tend to get expose to a different type of lifestyle whether it's about whose house to go to for family parties or celebrations rather than which parent am I living with
-Even dealing with parents who have both re-married that creates a different living environment, having to adjust to your new parents gives you a completely different perspective on growing up

Justin Torpens' Masterpiece (Rangers)

-Hoping to achieve goal of serving his country by becoming an Army Ranger, one of the more elite group that are branched within the military, where there main goal is to never give up on a mission whether or not the mission seems impossible to achieve and/or accomplish
-Feels that school and the Army rangers are the same in many ways that usually include, being told what to and not being able to think for themselves, YET one huge difference is that they are willing to except the physical demands and are even willing to put themselves in front of a bullet or whether we is made to ultimately kill them. That's what strives Justin to want to head in this direction

Motivation/Ambiguity

Motivation:
-motivation is when you have the passion and the commitment to be able to do something that you strongly care about
-When you have an intrinsic motivation you maybe tend to think about something that you love yet you hold back from doing this activity. An extrinsic motivation is when you go out and act on that desire for this motivation, this is why for most people extrinsic motivation always seems to be more effective because you're expressing how you feel
-When it comes to another person's interests its important to know when they are dealing with a conflict because then you're able to really understand how this person is feeling about this conflict and what steps are they taking to be able to find the solution to their conflict. This can also be referred to as theoretical construct

Ambiguity:
-Ambiguity is when the author wants us to get an understanding for a certain character, to give us "the reader" an idea of how they see certain things.
-Such as Bernard in "Brave New World", the author clearly has showed us that Bernard is nt your normal everyday person in this universe, he's extremely hesitant when it came to having to engage in what can best be described as "sexual play with the other naked children.

Caitlin's Masterpiece Project

-Photography is something that is more than maybe they even realize, a photo is a lot more than just a picture, they tend to convey a much bigger idea
-They include pictures from both basketball, football and with the death of Breanna Rodriguez and really start to intertwine into this really big idea of FAMILY.
-Pictures tend to take a different path from where you started and to where you are today, they tell a story that's not only about you but the journey that you are going to taken all throughput your entire life.
-Most pictures in general also tend to convey a certain message whether it'd be about hope, love, happiness or really the entire spectrum of emotion.
-Author's tone tends to give the reader a sense of emotion that we all wait for because no one wants to read a story without having any emotion, otherwise we lose focus and our interest simply just goes away
-What is one thing that made us want to become interested in the project itself, whether it would be about the memorial to Breanna Rodriguez, or the rally for the Powder Puff football game

Ethan's Masterpiece presetation

I may not understand anything that has to do with video games, or anything that relates to the online world and YouTube. Yet in some weird way, you can use this to make your masterpiece, by doing this he's able to show how "League of Legends" or "Super Mario Smash Brothers". Can turn maybe from a pastime activity to a hobby and then to something that turns into a masterpiece. That's why these masterpiece presentations tend to show how we can turn something as simple from an online game into something that can lead to a job or a possible future.
