Life is Strange Review task

You'll feel everything that our character feels.

In this game you enter in the life of Max Caulfield a teenager that returns to Arcadia Bay for school, here you make very important decisions that will affect your experience every time you play this game.

Gameplay is key in every game and this game is no exception. The game is optimized to be played with keyboard and mouse or with a controller, the Story relies on the gameplay of the game in which you'll have to take important decisions and controls time for your own will and this is how you'll save the world or not.

Graphics in this game are nothing from the other world, but this aspect of the game, a little cartoony, helps to sell the game even if you are a movie fan, this takes me to the Story, this game is all abut the story, here you talk for the character, you choose how the story will be by making your own decisions. I'f you really want to play this game, stop reading now. Spoiler alert. At the beginning of the game Max falls asleep in class or that is what she thought when she feels she has "dreamed" bout Arcadia Bay being destructed by a tornado, this will become real if you make tub decisions and let flow some tears.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Some of the problems that military veterans face is to battle a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, this makes the people that suffered of a traumatic event more aggressive in some cases, they are on guard almost at every time or they avoid everything that may cause them to remember that traumatic event.

The Last of Us is a video game that tackles the topic, as Joel's daughter dies in the hands of a soldier when an infection attacks the planet making all the infected people zombies. Joel experiments some strong feelings as the game goes on, such as the death of one of his best friends and partner as well as his brother kicking him from where they are hiding with Ellie, a girl that Joel has to take to a hospital controlled by the fireflies, a terrorist organization that wants to repare what they said they did by making a cure in form of a vaccine. Joel starts forming a relation with Ellie, thinking that she can replace his daughter, Ellie starts appreciating Joel but he discovers that the fireflies have to kill Ellie to make the vaccine so he decides to interrupt the procedure, killing all the members of the terrorist organization present and taking Ellie to the forest, lying to her and telling her that they have stopped researching for a cure and that they had more kids like her, Joel decides to protect what he thinks can replace his daughter instead of saving humanity.

"CCTV Central Control" by Tom Warner (Poetry Explication)

The poem talks about how the work of a man is, how has survived all this time in that job an how his colleagues have been fired or not, how they work and how this poems personae works. The poem makes the reader feel how a CCTV observer feels and how their work is like.

Voice:
The Personae in this poem is a CCTV operator, he is speaking to himself, maybe he is reflecting about his job, the personae's tone is a sad tone, it seams like he does not like anything more than watching the screen all night. He is speaking to himself. He or She wants to make us know how he or she feels about his job.

Imagery:
The Personae makes a description about how he sees de world and how is his or her life and his work, how he likes his work or how he is immersed in his work. The dominant expression in loneliness, as the Personae doesn't have anything else to do or care in his life.
The images presented in this poem precent a cycle in the life of the personae but it maintains a sad mood, as the speaker doesn't have anything else than his work and memories of it.

Sound:
The poem maintains the traditional form, the rhymes are progressive but maintaining the normal stanzas arrangements.

Theme:
The poem points how the life of a workaholic person is, how he or she is obsessed of its work and how he or she start making a routine that they wont be able to escape.
