The Stanley Parable has an excellent standard engagement curve. For this paper two curves will be talked about. First, the broad engagement curve, where the curve is the title and content is the episodes. This curve is based on discovery. Second, the finer engagement curve, where the curve is the episode and the content of the graphs are the segments. This curve is based on the engagement type of catharsis.

The broad engagement curve is the title with the episodes determining the curve. An episode in this game is whenever the game resets or ends, with some exceptions. The discovery element of this game comes from the unexplored choices of the game.

After playing through a couple of episodes the engagement drops off as the player realizes that beating the game is impossible. Then it rises just a little as the overall philosophy of the game is realized. The finer engagement curve is the episode with the segments determining the curve. The…

My love of reading from a young age was the foundation to so many other branches of my personality as well. I read so much that understanding words and writing them was almost like as easy breathing. One of the first people to introduce me to the world of literature was my 2nd grade teacher Mrs.Gross. One of my first memories of ever picking up a book was in her…

passed a series of health and English proficiency exams that enabled her to obtain a job as a Registered Nurse in the United States and to bring her children with her under a working visa. Upon our arrival, everything seemed foreign to me. I previously envisioned Rhode Island as a tropical island filled with coconut trees and surrounded by a body of ocean. I thought that it would be an actual island because the name had “Island.” My seven-year-old self was disappointed when my assumption turned…

The Harry Potter series can be an enjoyment for children or a literary failure depending on the reader.

He believes that the books may be interesting, but they lack…

increasingly interested in understanding more about early literacy. I am specifically interested in understanding how children's books are designed to promote literacy development. Often also known as emergent literacy, early literacy is an important time in children’s development, when “knowledge, skills and disposition that precedes learning to read and write in primary grades” occurs (Roskos 3). Early literacy begins at birth. Once born, the language that is used by the mother has a…
