Digital Story Telling/ The Battle and The Hiding Place

We all have battles in life that we must face. In the chapter entitled "Valentine Heart" Arnold illustrates and describes the battles that he is facing, as well making lists of things that bring him joy.

"I kept making list after list of the things that made me feel joy. And I kept drawing cartoons of the things that made me angry. I keep writing and rewriting, drawing, and redrawing, and rethinking and revising and reediting. It became my grieving ceremony."

Anne Frank's battles took place in the middle of an actual war; her place of safety was a physical hiding place. Arnold on the other hand faces many different types of battles: racism, poverty, hopelessness. He found refuge through drawing and writing.

Create a digital story that reveals a battle you have faced in your life and the people, places, hobbies, etc. that make you feel safe. Remember the elements of digital storytelling: words, voice, music, images, and other forms of media. Your story should be between 2-5 minutes.
