Let’s get one thing clear, I’m not usually for the whole Pixel Art thing in games such as FEZ (I’ll come back to this) or Minecraft but when I launched Poncho, I will not lie I called my roommates and told them to have a look so we could share a collective “oooooo” Poncho isn’t what I would call a beautiful game, it’s more charming if anything and it becomes clear that this is probably the prettiest post-apocalyptic game around (except for The Last of Us but that’s not a fair comparison) Poncho is a two-dimensional (2D) side scrolling platformer, puzzler extraordinaire (I add the extraordinaire part because it felt appropriate) which puts you into the poncho (see what I did there) of the Robot you play as who is also called Poncho, anyone else sensing a theme here? As you may have picked up on, Poncho is set in a post-apocalyptic world which has been affected by some sort of disaster or calamity but luckily for the player it’s one of those nice disasters which makes everything green and not one of those nasty disasters that makes everything …show more content…
Going back to the gameplay of Poncho, the layer switching gives the game more depth than most 2D games give you, if you see something in the background, you will be able to interact with it. It’s an experience you usually get with open world games like Skyrim but it is nice to see such a feature on a smaller game like this because the world feels more personal to you. The devs also felt it was funny to trick you sometimes by hiding platforms behind your current platform, I spent nearly an entire hour on that bloody
I must admit when were given this aesthetics assignment, I figured it would be a piece of cake. I was wrong because I had to find a piece that kept my attention and left me in awe. In the lectures earlier, we discussed what we thought was beauty was and the ideas bought up were original, universal and captivating. I agree with the ideas brought up, but what about crafty, colorful and eye catching. My ideas mentioned of beauty all came to my mind when I walked into the Robert Fontaine Gallery in Midtown and noticed the contemporary piece, Abandoned Places by Nick Gentry. Nick Gentry, British artist from London, is best known for his floppy disk painting, which places emphasis on Abandoned Places is a mixed media piece that consists of oil and used computer disks on wood. His newest works are composed by layering collages of x-rays and film negatives between sheets of plexi-glass backlit by LED strips. With sensitivity of the use of x-rays and the gratitude towards people sharing them with him, he’s also elected to donate ten percent of the show’s sales to the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation.
Wearing a sexy lingerie under your clothes can give you a secret boost of self-confidence. One of the easiest and most comfortable ways to experience this is by wearing a garter belt. The garter belt is basically a piece of cloth that is normally worn around the waist to hold up the stockings. Since every woman wants to look beautiful and attractive, these belts are a foremost preference towards building up a glamourous appeal. These belts are available in a variety of fabrics such as lace, vinyl, satin and leather. Garter belts usually has adjustable straps. You will realize that these straps are usually of different sizes. This is the reason why you should be cautious when buying these belts.
School is something we all know and understand. Regardless of whether we wanted it or not, we have all passed through school. School is, first and foremost, a place designed for people to go and learn. It is a place to better yourself, to learn facts, discipline, to learn social and economic skills. But for all that school is intended for, people go for different reasons. Some are hardworking and academically minded, they go to learn, to set a good foundation for their future, with an aim of becoming successful and accomplished in their career. Others are carefree, going for the social side, to be popular, have lots of friends, and in the end just to have a good time. For others it can even be a place of safety, a place where they can get
One of the greatest controversies that is spreading throughout high schools in the United States is parents and their children against the enforcement of their school’s uniform policy. More schools have been adopting uniform policies within the past decade. Rules contained in the policy that are implemented range from wearing certain types of tops (shirts) in specified colors to students being required to tuck in their shirts. In the past, uniforms were exclusively for students who attended private schools because they were “well-off”, but now uniforms are being seen more frequently in public schools on students of all economic levels. Having gone through a school system that considered adopting a uniform policy, I would have to press against the issue of mandated uniforms, because it is simply un-American and unjust.
High school is typically a time when kids begin to distinguish themselves from one another. Students begin to develop their own sense of personal style, desperately trying to both fit in and stand out simultaneously. Being self-conscious and often lacking the confidence needed to assert themselves, teens are forced to use clothing and outward appearance as the means to manifest this individuality. Thus, students should not be forced to wear uniforms to school. Standard uniforms are unproven deterrents to student violence; are a "Band-Aid" to cover up the real problems faced by children and teens; and they violate students' right of self-expression, depriving them of their search for identity.
Dress code, probably one of the most talked about topics by teenagers. Most teenagers believe that dress code is “witless” or “incompetent”. Why do we think this? Well, most adults believe that keeping a strict dress code keeps us educated because apparently our clothes are “distracting”. Now I can see how wearing booty shorts and a tank top would be distracting, but how is wearing sweatpants distracting? If anything wearing sweatpants keeps us comfortable, because I know that being uncomfortable is way more distracting than wearing sweatpants. When I wear sweatpants I can lay back and relax while the teacher talks, but if I am uncomfortable I am more likely to move around and fidget with my clothes rather than listen to the lesson.
Society has taught people that they should be themselves and express their individuality. There are many people out there who think everyone should act and be the same because people get judged if they act or dress differently. Everyone is their own person and no one should have to conform to everyone else in society. The debate over whether or not uniforms should be required has been going on for years. Many schools have decided it is best to have uniforms when, in all honesty, uniforms make no difference in academic success or behavior of students. Just because someone wears a uniform does not make them any smarter of behave in a better manner. School uniforms should not be required, not only because they do not let students express themselves, but also they cost families more money and do not affect what goes on at school.
Choosing what to wear for the day. This is what most students are thinking about when they wake up. Students need the latest fashion in order to fit in, but some clothing may not be acceptable to wear in school. School dress codes are denying students their right to dress how they want, but the dress code is important for the students and their learning. Students are beginning to stand up and want to be heard. Some students are taking action and want the dress code to become less strict but some schools are doing the opposite for safety issues and for the students healthy learning environment. Dress codes are important for a strong and healthy learning environment and is also reducing violence in many schools around the country.
School Uniforms School uniforms are increasingly popular across the nation. In fact, it is a huge controversial argument of communities rejecting these mandated school uniforms in their schools. However, school uniforms are not meant to be a negative thing; in fact, they can be positive in many ways by: eliminating cliques, saving money for parents, and taking away the bullying from students less fortunate. Meanwhile, on the other side of the argument, people believe that school uniforms will violate students’ freedom of expression, create a financial burden on families, and uniforms will not alleviate problems. However, with a solution that would benefit both parties, the public school systems in Oklahoma City district would benefit greatly if this policy were adopted in all the schools; since, the district only has 74 public schools in uniforms, while 17 schools are not.
“We cannot forget that reinforcing economic differences drives students further apart when schools should be drawing them closer together.” There are many problems in public schools with no uniforms. The use of school uniforms could eliminate some of these problems. Although school uniforms may take away a child’s individuality, there are more benefits than disadvantages to having school uniforms in public schools because school uniforms lessen the money spent on the latest fashion trends and school uniforms provide a positive school climate.
Uniforms. Yay! What? Or a nay - ay? There is an unending discussion in schools across the country about school uniforms and whether or not they make for a better experience in school for the students or just the teachers.
Should school uniforms be required? Some say that uniforms help students focus on academics instead of fashion. Others believe that students should have the freedom to choose what they wear to school in order to express their differences and their uniqueness. After considering both sides of the issue, I strongly believe that uniforms should be introduced in primary public and private schools. Wearing school uniforms does not promote unfair comparisons between student’s incomes in terms of clothing; they aid students in developing their inner qualities instead of focusing on the outer aspects of themselves in the crucial earlier years of their lives, and provides a platform for practicing discipline.
All individuals struggle with discovering who they are and who they may want to be in the future. School environment, either negatively or positively, impacts the result of this greatly. Uniforms in the learning environment have become a highly debated subject all across the country. Although some individuals believe school uniforms have a positive affect, those people should understand the negatives because uniforms promote appearance over character, lower student’s self-esteem, and conflict with the right of expression.
School Uniforms As the years go by numerous public schools are starting to drift into more of a private school concept. From the way that they run programs at public schools, to the way that have their students wear school uniforms. Many will argue that having students wear uniforms take away some of their rights and restrict students from freedom of expression; But when it comes down to it, is their freedom of expression really being taken away? Or are parents and students just over reacting because they aren’t getting what they want?
Have you ever considered why students should wear a school uniform? For a long time, scholars have debated worldwide, whether students should wear a school uniform or not. After a lot of research, I can evidently see that people still have diverse opinions about this subject as some people think school uniform is essential, some are just fine with its existence, and some think it is useless.
