Final Report

Hello everyone, now I am going to present you my final project for my Writing for Internet (EL236) class. In this semester, I have been learned a lot from the text books, the professor, Dr. Jerz, and all of you, my classmates. Here, I want to say thank you all, who gave me opportunities to study the technique of website writing as well as creating interactive fiction game. Some people might ask me, why a Chinese native speaker would like to participate English literature major. In the beginning of semester, I told that it is because I want to pursue my Journalism dream. However, after these three months, I realized the much deeper reason in my heart. That is because my desire of writing, my desire of language.

I write to make the world alive in my notebook. I write to create a world vivid in the paper. I write to memorize my life. I write to forget about life. I write to undertake the great moment around me. I write to find those moments in the world that nobody would notice. I write to find out the truthful determination in my heart. I write to appreciate the reality I have been through. I write to confirm my faiths that I owned. I write to doubt the opinions that I had. I write to see the beauty. I write to create the beauty. I write to destroy the beauty. I write because I believe I can write. I write because I doubt I can write. I write as a writer. I write as a student. I write as boy. I write as a man. I write as any role I think I can be. I write as any role that I do not think I will ever be. I write to pursue my dream. I write as the pursing of my dream. "I write" is my dream itself.

Seventeen years ago, I first time picked up a pen and try to learn how to write from my grandpa. I was astonished by the passion under each of Chinese character. Then couple of years later, I read the translated version of Count of Monte Cristo. I believe that is the first time I had interest about English literature. Unfortunately, I did not start learning English during my earlier educations. The first official English class that I had was in Seton Hill. Today, I still remember how exciting it was. Compare to three and a half months ago, now I know better about English. I know how to use MLA, APA, and AP style. I also know how to utilize the intense phrase in my contexts. In my final project, I will demonstrate you my ability of internet writing by creating an individual website.

In China, I have learned how to play with HTML codes for years. However, in Writing for Internet class, I learned the way to compose a good piece of context and made conveniences for readers, rather than please the audiences by using web designing skills, which I learned in China. In this project, I majority use my personal experiences as the sources to illustrate a real story happened between some Nigerian Scammers and me, and hopefully it would give people some tips that they may think are useful in the future.

My final release version does not have much difference from my beta release. However, by modifying the last three goals from my beta report, and took some suggestion from Dr. Jerz at last Wednesday's class, my website has stood up quite a lot. The changes are:

1. Add Homepage button on the top-left corner.
2. Use blockquote style instead the quotation marks, and change the style of font in those quotes.
3. In order to help the website search engines, say Google, to find my pages, I replace those "Click Here" links to new names that indicate their context.
4. Put in the information about further scamming.

Originally, I tried to shorten my story as well as add more emotional expressions in it. However, I gave up those plans due to some other students' suggestion, which is my pages look fine, and it would be better that it is objective.
