Annotated Bibliography Assignment
1. Adobe Dreamweaver. January 2008. Adobe Systems, Incorporated. 14 February 2008. <http;//www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/>
Our group found Adobe Dreamweaver to be the most appropriate and primary software program for developing the storyboarding project we plan to create. Dreamweaver purpose is to quickly and easily design, develop, and maintain websites and web applications; from start to finish. Creating a storyboard with the use of Dreamweaver is only one of many types of websites this software capable of producing. Dreamweaver enables the user to work in a visual layout interface or a streamlined coding environment. Dreamweaver is also capable of integrating other Adobe programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Flash, and Adobe Contribute into our group's storyboard website. Being able to integrate such Adobe software programs into our website will add to the steady workflow we intend to maintain during the course of creating our storyboard. The complete CSS support of visual tools that make it easy to view, edit, and move styles within and between files, as well as see how your change will affect the design will enable us to create website to our exact specifications. Lastly, I find the learning resources Dreamweaver includes to be of the most importance. Dreamweaver let's us learn as we work with comprehensive tutorials, reference content, and instructional templates that make it easy to expand our skill set and adopt the latest technologies.
2. Adobe Illustrator. January 2008. Adobe Systems, Incorporated. 14 February 2008. <http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/>
In creating an online storyboard of a piece of literature written by Ernest Hemingway, an illustration software program is essential for creating the different frames of the storyboard. These frames are what portray the most significant instances that take place throughout the story. Since our primary software program of use Adobe Dreamweaver is capable of integrating very useful illustration software programs such as Adobe Illustrator, our group is enabled to depict Hemingway’s “Indian Camp” in our storyboard’s frames with its precise imaging and details in their entirety. Adobe Illustrator let’s our group experiment with color while working efficiently with new drawing tools and controls. Adobe Illustrator may help us further illustrate Hemingway’s distinct illustrative and descriptive style of writing. In addition, our storyboard is meant to be interactive and maintain the ability for different images to be clicked on which link to further analysis for each image. The Adobe Illustrator includes a crop area tool that will help us outline each image to ensure easy accessibility to the images’ analysis and information.
3. Hemingway, Ernest. “Indian Camp.” 1924. 14 February 2008. <http://hjem.get2net.dk/PukDegnegaard/IC.html>
This webpage includes the complete text of Ernest Hemingway’s short story “Indian Camp.” Our group has chosen this work to be our subject for our storyboard project. During the development of our storyboard’s webpage, the onscreen availability of the text will add to the efficiency of our work and progression. In addition, if we chose to include a text analysis program(s) in our project, we will be able to pull text from this webpage in using such a program(s).
"Indian Camp" begins with Nick, his father, and Nick’s uncle George being ferried by small boats tended by tribesmen to a near by Native Indian camp. We find that Nick is around the adolescent stage of his life and see him take a step or two further into manhood by the end of this story. Nick’s father is a doctor, which is the reason for their visit to the Indian camp. Nick and his uncle assist his father during an Indian woman’s labor. The complications and dramatic events that take place during the birth affect Nick’s maturity. In our project we plan to illustrate, analyze, and interpret the thematic messages found beneath the surface of this story, as well as any other literary elements we can find included in “Indian Camp.” The convenience of having this text at hand working on a computer will be very beneficial.
4. Garrigues, Lisa. “Reading the Writer's Craft: The Hemingway Short Stories.” The English Journal 94 (2004): 59-65.
In this article, Lisa Garrgues begins by discussing how she teaches a five-week unit analyzing the short stories written by Ernest Hemingway. Through Hemingway's stylistic technique in writing short stories, Garrigues sought to expose her students to the “value of economy in language and the importance of what lies beneath the surface of a story” (Garrigues 59). Specifically, Garrigues explores the most distinct characteristics that she feels make up Hemingway's writing style. In explanation of these characteristics, Garrigues includes information regarding different events and portions of Hemingway's life that significantly influenced his writing. On an educative level, this article includes footnotes, which demonstrate and explain the framework of Hemingway's literature as well as teaching her students how to “read with writers' eyes” (Garrigues 59). The use of Garrigues' method of reading and interpreting Hemingway's short stories will also benefit our group's aim toward producing the most complete analysis of the story we will use for our project. Since the piece of literature we have chosen to use for our project is a short story by Ernest Hemingway, I find this article to help our group analyze the story with more insight, as well as be a source of reference when including extended information about Hemingway's writing style.
