A Day at the World´s Faire

   (halfway through this post, I realized that I was using 1rst Period´s Prezi´s. I have decided to leave it as-is.)

Another beautiful sunny day in Paris, not a cloud in the sky to ruin this 1898 World´s Faire exhibition. I could hardly wait this morning for it to open, and I was not disappointed:

Having skipped breakfast to enter the front of the line, I was gravitated towards the first exhibit of the day, which was the irresistible booth built by the team of Mr. Lee and Mr. Hu:
I was able to get my (now sticky) hands on some of their ¨Cotton Candy¨ a whimsical confection made out of spun sugar which dissolved in your mouth, as well as other samples including popcorn, as well as the new soft drink coined ¨Dr. Pepper¨.

As the day continued, I began to feel an itch to see what the future might hold. What better way to satiate it by entering the exhibit of Gabrielle, Charlie, and Samira?
They showed the durable, uniquely fashionable usage of new denim fabric to fashion Jeans, a form of more comfortable working attire, as well as the ease of use of the Dishwasher, Cash Register, and Lightbulb.

Having temporarily sated my thirst for technology, my mind began to wander, and I found my body doing the same. However, it snapped back into focus when I noticed the progressive styles of Zooey and Javin in their exhibit brandishing Art Nouveau, an artistic style which originated here, based upon natural form, intricate linear designs, and ornamentation.

As the exhibit neared a close, I managed to take a peek at our last, but certainly not the least significant exhibit, created by Kyler and Shawn which emphasized the importance of recent medical advancements in our society. Between the Blood Transfusions, new anesthetics, and x-ray technology, I felt a little safer leaving the faire, and could not help but beam with childish joy from all the wonderful things I have witnessed.
