The first picture for my digital literacy narrative that I have chosen is a blank book. I chose a blank book to photo shop because reading was my absolute worst nightmare. Every time I would pick up a book to read, my heart would sink because I could not read the words. This is why I used question marks on the pages of the books, being that whenever I read a book all I had was questions in my head because I could not read the words on the page. I chose a devil to put on the book because reading was in fact my worst enemy.

The next photo that I have chosen for my digital literacy narrative is a photo shopped picture of my mom. The picture that I chose is of an angry woman who is so mad that smoke is blowing out of her ears. I felt as though this picture represented my mom perfectly. She was always angry that I could not read at my appropriate grade level. However, every time she would get mad, she could end up feeling bad and smiling and comforting me after. Therefore, I found it best that I would Photoshop a photo of her smiling onto a picture of someone who is angry at the same exact time. Pretty ironic, right?

The next photo that I have chosen is a picture of a school. I chose this picture because my narrative is all about my fear of attending school when I was in first grade. I used to dream of the school burning down at night, so I used the paint brush to create flames as if the school was burning down.

The following photo I chose in order to represent the bullying that I endured while in elementary school. I chose a picture of a book because I was I was ultimately bullied based upon my inability to read. I chose to name the book "Bullying" because I could practically write a book about all the times I was bullied and called names. This is why I also wrote the speech bubbles, because my fellow classmates would say nasty words to me. I chose to add a stop sign into the photo because all I wanted at the time was for bullying to STOP!

For this photo, I wanted to show the globalization of technology throughout the world in the 2000's. Therefore, I chose a globe and photo shopped some major apps that came out during the time. I also drew lines connecting different parts of the world because technology was advancing so quickly and connecting the entire world.

I chose the following photo because it was the beginning of the audio book that changed my life. It was the star of my show, and every time I looked at it, it was shining so bright. That is why I decided to add photo shopped pictures of stage lights to the audio book. It was the star of the show, and saved my reading ability.

The next photo that I have chosen to photoshop is a picture of headphones. I have chosen headphones because they were one of the main reasons I loved the audio book so much. They calmed my anxiety with their piece and quiet, and that is what I wanted to portray through this photo.

The next photo that I have chosen to photo shop is a picture of a young girl listening to headphones. After my mom found out that I adored the audio book so much, she bought me one of my own. I photo shopped a photo of my face listening to the headphones because I would listen to audio books 24/7!!

The next picture that I have decided to photo shop is a picture of a school. I have chosen to do a picture of a school again because after the audio books helped me to read again, I loved going to school. I decided to use angel wings because the audio book was my angel. School was almost like an angel being that I actually enjoyed going again! I used a halo because instead of school burning down in a fire, it was now an angel that I genuinely enjoyed attending.

For my last picture I chose an older girl reading a book by herself. This older girl was to represent myself when I was in third grade, and could finally read on my own. I remember going outside to read a lot, it was my safe space, therefore I wanted to choose a photo of a girl outside; in which I also photo shopped my face into from when I was that age and finally reading independently.
