Ayhan, Gulen, et al. “Suicide Risks Among Prisoners in French Guiana: Prevalence and Prediction Factors.” BMC Psychiatry, vol. 17, no.1, 2017, DOI 10.1186/s12888-017-1320-4.

Suicide risk amongst prisoners directly relates to mental and physical health. To better understand the risk factors, Gülen Ayhan conducted a study to examine the correlation between French Guianan inmates and the Mainland French inmates. MINI (mini international neuropsychiatric interview) is the survey that Ayhan used to conduct his study. Questions in the survey touched on past experiences, suicidal thoughts, and potential suicidal plans. Ayhan found that risk factors included depression, dysthymia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, childhood abuse, and sexual assault. Out of 785 registered inmates, 13-14% had medium to high risks and 42% had low risks. If all prisons use the MINI survey, Ayhan believes that suicides in prison could be prevented and decreased.

    The Annotated Bibliography you created was really good. It didn't summarized the article but it gave a glimpse of what to expect. I think the bibliography was in the correct order. You could have added the page numbers at the end of the each of the sentences

This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...
