All About Me...

My name is Caroline, though I go under the name "Alice Demer" online as it is an anogram of my whole name. I am 16 years old, born March 15 1994 and a Junior at Decatur Highschool in Atlanta GA. I must admit, this doesn't feel right...giving out all of this personal information. BUT it is assigned so...anyways. I am a writer, I would like to pursue creative writing and maybe open my own coffee shop/book shop. I am also an artist. I do collage, painting, pencil, ink, cartoon-ish, realism, mixed versions of all of these, photography and sometimes sculpture. I HATE making videos though. You can follow my work in art on Deviantart.com, my user is Leroy68.

Conclusion

I conclude, that Olde Englysh can be interesting, or it can just be plain hard to understand. Also, alot of people are prejudiced about it, and have simple/common misgivings such as they think everyone says 'ye'. However, that is not the case, because there are many different types of Olde Englyshes as they developed over the many ages, into what is now modern day english for us.

Hey guys, I made a video that translates a simple segment that I tried to translate. I know, it's not the best, but hey, do I get a star for trying? Anyways, check it out, and tell me what out think:

ReflectionssnoitcelfeR

Well, as you can most likely tell, from the title, im going to reflect over my work. I suppose, my reflection will be similar to my recomandations, because when I wrote my recomandations, I reflected on the things that I did good or bad, or liked, or disliked. Anyways, I have realized that there are different types of Olde Englysh, because as it progressed toward modern English, it developed and changed into the language that most Americans now speak. I also learned that there is a lot more to Olde Englysh, than a lot of people standing around saying 'ye,' as some of my fellow classmates put it. I have also learned, that your research project is what you make it, and even if you aren't interested in a topic in particular, it dosn't mean that you can't make the topic interesting for others.

I recommand...etc.

Okay, so here goes. I had originally intended for this project to be on London Dialects, hence the name...unfortunately, however, that was a more complicated research topic than I had expected, therefore, I changed my topic to Olde Englysh, because it seemed to pretain a similar subject. I would say that the project, was overall generaly, a pretty good project, but I do recommend, that if I were to do this project again, I would probably do some more preplanning, because although I was able to do the project overall well, I was sort of racing against the clock, partly because I changed my subjects. I would also recommend, maybe creating some Olde Englysh scripts of every day phrases, or conversations. That way, I would be able to record much sooner. Those are most of the recommandations I would make if someone else were to do this project, with the same research topics.

data, charts, interpretation of data

Due to what the data says, it would seem that most people aren't all that interested in Olde Englysh. Also, my chart represents the data from one question, but most of my other data represented the same statement.
