Exercise 1:

How to peel an orange


A > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPmt358Je7c

This version was very tough as I had already cut into the actual orange and my thumb was sore from digging into the skin. As per the instructions i failed but still had an orange to eat.

This version of instructions was much easier and nicer to follow. Instead of using my thumb and cutting into the skin, I just had to score it and then use the handle of a spoon. My thumb was not sore and the orange came out almost near perfect. The instructor took time to show and explain the steps. There were different camera angles to reflect this. 











My Version:
1 - Make sure you have an orange, small knife, a spoon and a chopping board2 - Pick up your orange and start scoring it with the small knife around the centre of the orange. Make sure you don't cut into it. Take your time with this if needed.3 - Once you have done that, get your spoon and use the back of the handle to insert it between the peel and the actual orange.4 - Just keep going around and you should start to feel and see the peel coming off. You may need to take the handle in deeper.5 - Once you've peeled one half of the orange, put the peel back on and repeat the same as before on the other side.6 - Once done, you should have a perfectly peeled orange.

  The Hybrid Form Class exercise of reviewing Hybrid forms of writing. 'Dear Rosa' In this piece you can see forms of: - descriptive  - narrative - list/operational - manifesto I was amazed that so much fit into a little match box and how we perceive objects on a daily basis. If I was on the receiving end of this letter I don't think I would remember who you were unless you created some sort of scene at the time. Structure - write about the aesthetic exterior - write about each object (descriptive) then a narrative.

Working title: Creating my own borders: Identity & Clothing   Being a first generation born Indian-Kiwi woman I have always felt like I didn’t completely fit in to my surroundings. Growing up in two different cultures has led me to struggle within myself but has also shown me a new perception of who I am and can become. There have been instances when I would try to ‘fit in’ but it would always seem as if I was losing a part of my true self and essence. Is it the fact that I thought wearing traditional Indian clothes at events would leave a good imprint on the community and how they perceived me as a person knowing that this wasn’t my true self? Or I started listening to Western music just to be able to talk about it with my classmates knowing that I enjoyed Indian and Punjabi music to a much deeper level? There has always been an animosity between what makes me truly a New Zealander and an Indian but why can’t I just be both in one? Being a ‘product’ of diaspora and acculturati...

Research for writing

I am still unsure of where this writing will lead me. I feel I have been more inclined towards the manifesto style of writing.  Things I need to think about that may help structure my writing: http://www.alexandrafranzen.com/2013/02/11/5-ways-to-write-a-blow-your-mind-manifesto/ Using what is instructed by the above link.  1 - I BELIEVE: I believe that clothing can be altered, shaped, designed in new ways to portray a new identity. It doesn't mean you are disrespecting where its origins are but celebrating it.  2 - I WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE: I want to live in a world where I can wear clothes I've designed and sewn myself to community gatherings and events without being criticised or judged.  3 - HERE'S WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE: That people from the Punjabi community can say whatever they want and judge me how much they want but that will never change who I am as a person or my values. It does not mean my parents raised me wrong or that I am of bad character just be...
