Betrayal and Red Clowns - A House on Mango Street Illuminated Text by Saquina Haque, Beata Kasiarz, and Michael Hernandez

a clown's face smilingThis illuminated text pushes the envelope of textual animation (as well as the viewer's emotions) as it pulls together the many times that Esperanza is betrayed by those around her as she seeks that ideal home that proves more and more elusive.  Looking at this Illluminated Text after three years I have to say that it has lost none of its power or impact.  Please note that there is also a Quicktime Video version of this presentation if you have any trouble seeing or hearing the Power Point Edition.

Full text, downloads, and audio available to registered users with 50 points (Letterman).  An uploaded original lesson or Illuminated Text is worth 50 points.

Text to Remember

Lies and Bubbles

Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully.
