Devone Francis

My name is Devone Francis and my pronouns would be he/him. I would rather be called Nigel because some people can’t say my first name that well. My first name is Australian. I was born in Brooklyn its home to me I am still a residence of Brooklyn. My academic interests is English has been since middle school. I’m a video editor I love to make edits and I occasionally do live streams on a platform called twitch. Where I usually stream gaming videos or stream from YouTube. I am about 6’4 inches in height and I love anime or reading manga as well as cosplaying. I Love to have conversations especially hearing new topics that I have never heard about before. I’m also looking forward to reading books for this class hopefully anything in particular like the Great Gatsby. This will be my first semester as a college student. I think college is going to be nerve racking at first but I’ll get used to it pretty fast.

 

A Place that was meaningful to me was the Anime Convention on the west side of Manhattan. This was meaningful to me because my sister went with me to Anime Con and she doesn’t like anime that much, so the fact that she went was a meaningful memory that I will always have. It was also the fact that it was the very first time that I ever went to a convention before.  It was great seeing so many people there experiencing the same amount of thrill and encouragement that I feel when imaging being that one character in a story was awesome.

    Hi Nigel! What a great photo; it certainly captures the warmth and spirit of the assembled anime devotees. I appreciate that you mentioned Gatsby— I usually teach it during my summer (June) literature class! One of my favorite novels to be sure. What draws you to it?
