Transformation 1

Transformation 2

Transformation 3

The third Transformation was hard to document with visuals. So I will describe what I did. While dining at Sadler Hall, I decided to observe the reactions of random people when I “accidentally” dropped a drinking cup. I have heard cups being dropped before, and the cups make very loud and obnoxious sounds when they hit the floor. When I dropped the cup, I pre-planned to do it at a moment when the dining hall was especially quite, which took a lot of time and patience. I also waited when there weren’t too many people around me. When I dropped the cup at the right moment, the cup bounced furiously on the ground, while making loud sounds. Not only was the sound loud, but within seconds, dozens of heads turned towards the cup, and stared to see what the sudden disturbance was. When this happened, everyone became silent, and with this sudden reduction in sound, the banging of the cup suddenly sounded even louder. It was a little embarrassing for me, but less than if I had not intended to drop it. I anticipated the reaction, and I accomplished what I had hoped.
