My Intro for short essay #2

Its a little rough it still needs a lot of work tell me what you think.

All over the world everyday you see very new and interesting architecture. I second life you would never believe to see such great architecture. All over second life there are many different structures that’s the one thing I like about second life is that the architecture is nothing life some of the architecture you find in today’s world. Most building seem very unrealistic because in second life it doesn’t really rain or snow that make it interesting to find great big buildings that can be outdoor building as well as indoor building. Throughout Earths history there have been unimaginably great visions that have become unbelievable architectural feats, but all these real life buildings are restricted by real life conditions. Architecture in Second Life suffers from none of these limitations which means that the possibilities are endless.

My Intro

Here in second life there are many different activities to do and places to go see. There are places for people of all ages. Second life is like our world but with twist and different cultures from all over the world. That is one of the neat things about places you go in the second life you will always get to meet new and exciting people. Since second life is for people all over the world that makes for great entertainment in second life. There are so many different cultures in wherever you go for entertainment its hard to figure out where to go. In second life there are many great places for entertainment, but in my opinion going to clubs, sports events and movies our a few of the best places to go.

I think what I have started with is alright but I think it could use some work Im having a little trouble with it.

Exploration assignment
Featured locations:
I decided to go to woods the part house music spot, there were not too many people there I am pretty sure I only counted about ten or so not a lot of people were up for music this early in the day I met a friend name miles here he was very nice he helped me out with things that I didn’t know how to do since I’m not very good at this yet, I got to know a little about him he was from England. I was surprised on how people well just talk to you on here about anything. I think the stated purpose of the place was to go there and have a good time meeting people.
Info Island:
This place I liked a lot it was very colorful and there were very nice people there. Info Island really stand with its name it really does have a lot of info on the island. It was bright and very pretty there. Its easy to read all the interesting information that is posted around. There’s a park nearby called peace park it very pretty to go walk in there as well.
Thursdays Fictions:
This place that I transported to was very creepy there were no other aviators there. There was someone whispering saying weird think like are you ready to go into the light but I never saw anyone. I’m guessing that place is a religious but it was a very creepy religious place. I also just thought it was weird how no other people were in there either.
Bechenbach:
This place is very gray and gloomy, it kind of got me in a tired mood there were no other avatars around and there was nothing around that seemed like people were to go to this location a loot. Once again it just seemed like a place where some aviators may go for religion which was very interesting but not to exciting. This had to be the most boring place that I went too.
Themiskyra:
I encountered nothing at all here I did not see any aviators or anything really around just a lot of water and a sailboat. The place to me seemed like somewhere that someone made up like the secret hiding place I followed this path down under the water and it looked like someone could hang out under the water it was weird but not creepy. The path in the picture is where I found the secret hiding place.

Avatar Appearance

Comp 2

My avatar in second life does not really look a lot like me she has about the same body shape as me because that’s all I have really figured out to do with her even though I have always really wanted brown hair so I kind of like it. She is wearing a black dress because that is what I always wear. Everything else though is about the same green eyes, little lips and a piggy nose. I have not really done a whole lot to modify my own personal appearance I’m not really good yet with the whole second life things and there is still a whole lot that I do not know how to do. I really like the appearance I have for me right now though but I hope to make it better by learning more. I never change the appearance of my aviator I’m pretty boring and don’t really like change because I don’t want people to forget what I look like in sound life. I did want to achieve a particular look, I wanted to look like myself but I was having some trouble doing that like I said before everything really looks like myself the only thing that is really different is that I have brown hair but I’m starting to like it. I never really asked for input but I have had people tell me they well help me with my look to make it look better. Another aviator told me you can go shopping for clothes and other things to make you look better but I have not done any of that yet I haven’t spent any money on anything to do with my appearance. I am very happy with the way my aviator looks in second life even though we do not look the exact same she still looks pretty and she still looks a lot like mm. Lack of skills will hopefully improve so that I will get to change more on my aviator to make her look better and fit in more with the other aviators. I hear lots of different sound when I’m in second life but it just some people talking the wind and other animals so really nothing too big yet.
