VIDEO GAMES AS ART RESEARCH PAPER

This is a lengthy research paper I wrote exploring the idea of video games as art and what it takes for a video game to truly be a work of art. I did much research on the topic and looked into many sources to provide a lengthy insight into the concept. My English 202 professor enjoyed the paper more than any other in the class and even shared it with a fellow professor to discuss the content of the paper.

BOOK REVIEW

This is a book review I wrote for an English 202 course. I received an A on the paper and my professor commended my ability to research and come up with unique perspectives on written material. The book was written about surveillance capitalism and surveillance technology embedded in society. I am very interested in technology as a whole, so it was easy and enjoyable to provide my own unique perspective on the topic.
