Feedback

We hope you enjoyed Bella's adventure through Italy. Please provide us with some feedback as to what we could have done better or anything you think we would think is important. We would like to know if the blog was easy to navigate and if the blog and story of Bella's adventures was interesting.

Outline of Project

For this project, I will be drawing many pictures.  Even though I am not the best artist, my audience will still be able to tell what is going on in each picture and what everything is.  The pictures I am posting now are not my final pictures.  One picture I will be drawing is the Trevi Fountain.  I am going to draw this because Bella, the girl in my story, will be visiting this while she is in Rome.   I will make the water a very pretty blue, and I will do my best to make all the statues look like they do in real life.  This will make people want to visit Rome to see the Trevi Fountain.  This will especially make girls reading the diary entry want to go to the Trevi Fountain with their boyfriend or husband so they can experience the romantic feel of it.

  

To portray Bella falling in love, I am going to draw a picture of her with Vincenzo, the boy she meets in Rome.  They will be walking on the beach during the evening watching the sunset.  I decided to have it occur during this time because people usually find scenes like these romantic.  This will make my audience really feel the love Bella felt that night.

 

Another picture I am going to draw is of Bella and Vincenzo at a Romantic dinner.  In one of Bella’s diary entries, it talks about how much they both learned about each other the night they had dinner together.  This is also the night they fell in love.  I decided I would draw this scene because it is important for the romance aspect of our project.  This will affect my audience by making them fall in love with Bella and Vincenzo as a couple. 

Overall, the pictures I will be drawing will effectively display how two people fall in love over a short period of time.  I would like my group’s final project to affect the audience by making them want to go to different places in Italy to find romance, adventure, religion, and food.

Harry Potter Plagiarism?! Source

1)Source-  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/18/entertainment/main6219192.shtml?tag=cbsnewsTwoColLowerPromoArea;morenews

CBS news wrote an article about J.K Rowling allegedly plagiarising the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book. It talked about how she was taken to court for these acsusations. I think that this source is very reliable because it is CBS and a news station. In order to write this article someone on the CBS news team had to investigate about this situation.


2)Case

Rowling stated that, "I am saddened that yet another claim has been made that I have taken material from another source to write Harry," she said. "The fact is I had never heard of the author or the book before the first accusation by those connected to the author's estate in 2004; I have certainly never read the book."  J.K. Rowling explains how she completely appalled that she was accused of this. She alsa stated, "We will be applying to the Court immediately for a ruling that the claim is without merit and should therefore be dismissed without delay." This statement is very bold and easily understood that Rowling is very upset with these allegations. She was not charged with plagiarism of the fourth Harry Potter book, The Goblet of Fire. 

Harry Potter Plagiarism-Case

In this plagiarism case, J.K. Rowling is involved.  She is the author of the Harry Potter books.  She was accused of plagiarizing her fourth book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."  The people in charge of the estate of Adrian Jacobs are the people that accused Rowling of plagiarizing.  They believe that she took ideas from one of Adrian's fantasy books.  The case has been to court where it was dismissed.

I do not think J.K. Rowling plagiarized her fourth book.  Also, I don't think she meant for it to be anything like Adrian Jacobs' book.  J.K. Rowling could not have done anything differently since she was not plagiarizing anything and the courts agree with her.

Harry Potter Plagiarism- Source

When J.K. Rowling was being accused of plagiarism in her book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", Fox news covered the story.  Fox researched the story and got quotes from the people involved.   Fox talked about the things that were the same in both stories that made J.K. Rowling seem like she was plagiarising.  It is important that Fox News covered this story because it means that the information is credible.  This is a believeable and reliable source because Fox News covers many stories and they are always reliable.  Many people believe what they say and rely on them.
