This image was created for the part of my DLN where my phone gets taken away from me. The chain fence with the lock on top represents the fact that my parents took my phone and therefore locked me out of my conversations with my friends. This was very upsetting for me at the time, hence the crying emojis over the screens in the background.
This image was created to represent my confusion about computers and the internet. That is an image of my in the center, and it is used repeatedly throughout my narrative. I find it fitting that I'm hiding my face to show my frustration and embarrassment.
I photoshopped images of my parents behind my computer screen to show that they always had their eyes on what my sisters and I were doing on our computer. I also photoshopped my image onto Barbie's head to really get the point across that they were watching ME on the computer. The Barbie computer is the actual computer I had when I was in the 5th grade.
In my DLN I explain how I created a MySpace page without my parents permission. The first picture I ever posted on my page was the one photoshopped overtop of the myspace logo. It was our Christmas card picture for that year and, at the time, I found it adorable and "candid."
I photoshopped this image to portray how I was feeling as my friend was pressuring me to create the page without permission. The red text represents my fear and the trouble that I knew I would be in if I was caught. The phrase "You Know Better" represents my thoughts as I typed on the keyboard.
This picture goes with my "You Know Better" image. Right after I was thinking that I SHOULDN'T make a page. I light bulb went off in my head that maybe I SHOULD do it. I mean, what could go wrong?
I use this image of me covering my face throughout my narrative. However there is a different meaning behind it with this image. This is to show my frustration and confusion as my friend was trying to convince me to create the page.
This image was created to represent what my Christmas morning looked like in 5th grade. My sister and I received our Barbie computer and I received my first REAL cell phone.
I created this image to represent how everything I thought that I "knew" in 5th grade was wrong. I thought that everything was fine and I was safe using the internet. However, I was actually exposing myself and making myself vulnerable to online predators and bullying.
This image will be the header of my narrative. It sets the scene for the entire story. The laptop let's the readers know that the story is going to be set around computers. I inserted the fire to display trouble or an issue that will soon be blowing up. The word "no" comes up frequently throughout my narrative. My parents constantly told me no, and with no explanation.
I created this to visually display my confusion during the time that my friend created her page, and I wasn't sure about making mine. All I could think about was my parents, but all I could hear was that I was missing out if I didn't make one.
This image is the same as the one above, but with the word "Delete" all over it. It represents that my parents made me delete my personal MySpace page.
This is the last image on my narrative. It's with a more updated image of my parents and I. I created it show that in the end, we came together as a family to talk about the dangers of the internet and how we can avoid them.
