Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

1. I honestly have no idea what I'm reading. This story seems very disjointed right now and there are a lot of things to set up, I kind of only vaguely get that there has been a cure for death, the population has grown and the man we are reading in the perspective of grew up in Disney land. He has an old friend named Dan, hes a cowboy type character, and they regularly hangout. I currently am on page 11 and I don't feel anything for these characters or care that they have been introduced. This may be because we just watched the first part of Valerian which was also super disjointed and throws you into everything but the text feels busy but doesn't say much. I was falling asleep reading it to be honest. 2. I haven't read far enough I think to connect with the story. I don't think this is a very relatable story just yet since I don't feel anything for these characters. I suppose I get the sentiment of being an old soul in some ways or feeling like the world is

Theme park Race,gender,class and sexuality in class discussion

Race/Ethnicity In my world it is supported and celebrated and doesn't hold a hierarchy. Its not the main focus but my park is open to everyone. The art that is created at the park or at least is available isn't driven by race or ethnicity nor political or strong opinions based around a certain ideology. There will be an open LGBTQ celebration and celebration of prominent (and also less popular) holidays or events for race and ethnicity but it wont be a constant thing throw in your face every day. I suppose since this is based in America since that's the only country I know well enough, and this country is a huge melting pot, there may be some discrepancies on perspective about race and ethnicity but we dont want to understate a celebration of such things or undermine it. Maybe its not a celebration persay and more of just a general inclusion to the functions of the park, like a special offer or a park wide theme that is added into the park. Through hastags, or specific

Theme Park Prompt

Artist Alley A concept biased around freelancing artist and illustrators but more of a theme park experience. Meant to inspire as well as house a variety of art based attractions, this theme park is a narrative on the fluidity of creativity and vision from an artists eye. This park is fairly interactive and you will get your clothes dirty here. It is suggested that you come in all white or old clothes to for a worry free experience. Each section of the park is based on a medium commonly used by artist: Paint - Go on rides that are a vivid color sensation, the Rainbow tornado is a giant whirly do type ride where you spin around with a beautiful array of colors rushing past you. There is a roller coaster called the Brush stroke that arcs with a huge rainbow at the top of the paint brush inspired ride. Each cart/ seat arrangement is a brush that you sit in. The painters pallet is a tea cup ride, each tea cup has been decorated by the staffed artist of the park. There is a

The Wolrd Building: Architecture

City/Organization topography Green space Transportation networks Defense Economic system Attitude towards nature Industrial level Gravity Building type There is a traveling hut/trailereqsue home that serves as the Scribe hub. Log writers and historians needed a studio of sorts that was mobile since much of the community travels to follow wild life. The people are not barbaric, simply using limited technology and choose to work with the limitation of travel. This Hub stays close to the ground and can be set up/ moved easily. The other housing and residential homes are in the upper canopy's. This Hub is guarded and carries a lot of knowledge, to go between the housing, they simply use the same pulley system that they use to get up and down from the treetops. The building is open to the public and has it's own private rooms and such for those who actually work there. Having the Hub be mobile also gives way for on the spot research to be done and active observation.
