EOC Week three: Jeopardy

To come up with questions for a jeopardy game is very challenging. It takes some deep thought and process to think of ways for people to be able to understand the statements and answer them correctly. The game itself takes a lot of knowledge to know because the competitor will have to know the meaning and answer it as a question. I am carefully picking out the vocabulary words first, that I would like to use in my game. I’m trying to form them into categories while doing so. I say that grouping the words together is a bit difficult because not all the words will match up in the same group. I then am going to look at the definitions and come up with statements that someone will understand to be able choose the right word for. I don’t want to trick the person, so I won’t put part of the answer in the question. The statements I came up with for U.S Patent and Trademark office (USPTO) is, this company is responsible for overseeing and filing records of patents in the United States. I made this vocabulary word at $100 because I felt that it is easy to answer. Another statement I came up with for a $300 slot for Patent and Trademark depository libraries is, a public building where copies of patents and reference tools are available to research. I felt this one was a bit more difficult so I put it at a higher cost. I haven’t done the other categories yet but I will be developing them just like these. Since we are going to be in groups I don’t want to make it too hard for my teammates to answer so I will have to find ways to shorten long definitions into a short sentence.

EOC Week 2: What do you think of lawyers?

Although I haven’t met any lawyers as of yet, as of right now I have no thoughts on whether or not I may like them or not. Viewing them from television shows and movies I have an understanding that they are in it for the money and I sometimes wonder if they really do want to help their clients. Hearing from others who have had to deal with a lawyer, they say that some may not be that great. I also notice that to get a good lawyer you have to pay a huge amount of money. So now I ponder on the thought that the only way for a lawyer to truly help you win your case is that you have to pay them lots of greens. If the lawyer is well known and there is a 95% chance you’ll win the case then I can understand a bit at why he may cost so much. Although, I say that if the lawyer lowered his price then he can help many people out there in the world then just those with the big checks. I notice from the media that lawyers are hated, I don’t dislike them I just believe that if they are trying to defend someone who is truly guilty, they are doing their job and trying to help them even though they shouldn’t win. If I had to pin point my choice of a lawyer I wouldn’t want a lawyer who is in it for just the money, I would want them to take a chance too. I may not be able to afford a good lawyer but I would like them to try their best in winning the case. I wouldn’t want someone who will only work depending on the amount of pay they receive.

Week 1:EOC About Me

Every creation starts within an individual where a fresh new concept is waiting to break free into the world. Before an animation is started, a character has to be shaped and fitted with the right abilities in order for him or her to function the way an artist wants. In the process the character will be able to walk forward and gain experiences throughout their journey with the help of the developer. I am my own character and artist where I move my own two feet with each step I take. Creating my own animation with every motion I make. As a 3-D modeler and animator I would like to someday create my own characters in my career and make them live an incredible path where many others can view them in their own eyes. I want to make a contribution to the wonders of the digital animations like Pixar, DreamWorks, Sky Studio and etc, have already done. I am very amazed at how far animations have gone and I would love to be the next generation that keeps it going. Along side my learning of 3-D software I am a photographer. Capturing unique angles and beautiful colors of what people may have not seen before, is a passion I love to do. I like to look at my photos more than just a pictures
