R. Reid Jr’s Intriguing Concept and World
What I learned doing this assignment is a new angle of considering that someone on the team or someone that helps them is really a plant for a bad guy. I wouldn’t have found that out on my own except when I am exploring all these different worlds. It wasn’t even a type of thing I was looking at to explore any twists. But revisiting this world again and again I am exploring more.

Tracy El Pueblo’s Intriguing Concept and World
What I learned doing this assignment is that with the five main young adults entwined as a love “pentagon,” it’s been hard to choose the lead to write about. They all work in that capacity. The young woman is of the village, whose life is disrupted when four very different men from the corners of the earth arrive in one fateful year.
1. My Concept
A.
Thomas Fisher, an escaped slave from <st1:place w:st=”on”><st1:state w:st=”on”>South Carolina</st1:state></st1:place>… <div>B.
… sailing for a harsh Argentine mercenary…C.
… attacks the <st1:place w:st=”on” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”><st1:state w:st=”on”>California</st1:state></st1:place>
province of the Spanish empire and is taken prisoner…D.
… where he begs to jump ship with his Yankee bunkmate because he feels
safe from Americans.<div>
2. The World of this show
Unique
Sub-World: <st1:city w:st=”on”><st1:place w:st=”on”>Los Angeles</st1:place></st1:city>
in 1818 is a remote frontier village in the most western and ignored
colony of the Spanish empire. </div>Previously
unexplored: It’s not the Mexican stereotype or TV western; <st1:state w:st=”on”>California</st1:state> is a Catholic outpost isolated by royal
decree, hostile to enemy Protestant ships coming from the <st1:country-region w:st=”on”><st1:place w:st=”on”>United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>
on the east coast.The
unknown: Will the heavy hammer of the Spanish
government or Inquisition come down on the village for harboring foreign
criminals; will the captured Americans be
killed by furious villagers in an unguarded moment?The
unseen: Will the pirate captain try to
retrieve his men? Will there be more attacks from other countries since <st1:state w:st=”on”><st1:place w:st=”on”>California</st1:place></st1:state> has no sea protection?Unheard
of Dangers: In a male-dominated rape culture with only two priests and
many retired soldiers with few restraints, young women are few and in high demand for marriage. <st1:country-region w:st=”on”>Spain</st1:country-region> is beginning to lose its grip on the <st1:country-region w:st=”on”>Americas</st1:country-region> — will revolution come to <st1:state w:st=”on”><st1:place w:st=”on”>California</st1:place></st1:state>?Reason
to explore it: The early hard-scrabble years of Los Angeles can be
traced in some remnant sites around the city today, where a new mixed race of people were created, the Californios.</div>

The Chapel where Laylah first sees Lane.
Leylah just before she jumps.
One of the Caroline Russell Brown School buildings
“This job could be the brake we need.” Lane Baer
” I’ve never understood what he saw in me.” Marta Baer
A little something to calm the pain. He saw the eye of a gun barrel coming close.
“I like it best when it’s just you and me.” Paige Baer
“The kind of love you wrote about is the purest kind of love. “ Leylah Hafez
”These pretty things are so hungry they’ll eat you alive.” Christian Savage
“Stay away from the students.” Margaret Gilgood
Oh, oh…the photographs didn’t transfer. Damn. I spent hours!

Tracy El Pueblo Visually Appealing Bible
I learned that it took a very long time hunting for the historical paintings or photos that tell my story. It wasn’t possible to get a coherent look for my five main characters. I just could not find anything historical that fit my central male character as I envisioned him. I realize this is just to give a brief overview to the reader, but the look is a key component. This isn’t a western or pioneer story in the tradition we’ve seen over and over — it’s Spanish colonial California, not 1890s Mexican or cowboy. There’s a big difference in the clothing that we haven’t seen yet in a period piece about the west. The visual portion of the bible needs to convey that. I just couldn’t quite pull it together all the way through accurately, but it’s close.

Janeen’s Visually Appealing Bible
What I learned doing this assignment is something I knew, but had forgotten. Presentations take a LOT of time to put together.
Process: I searched the internet for appropriate photos to use in my bible. That took a bit of time. Then I cut and cut and cut again to pare down the bible into more bite-sized text bits. Then I tweaked and tweaked the bible’s text, layout and photos to get everything to fit and look appropriate. It took all day.

Jean’s Visually Appealing Bible
What I learned doing this assignment is that finding artwork that fits takes a lot more time than I expected. Once I found some sites that worked, it became a little bit easier. Adding the pictures to the document took more time and a bit of fiddling. Also, finding pictures to fit the tone wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. However, I had some artwork from one of my books that fit and I put them in and it looks more professional.
