Greit's iPhone
(Reading from left to right)


1. iBible: Greit uses this app to stay in touch with her Protestant religion while she stays with the Catholic family. The bible will distract her from their religion. 

2. Candlelight Saviour: This app will allow Greit to see in the darkness of the cellar where she sleeps. She does not want to waste candles, so this app will come in handy.

3. Clean Sweep: Greit will use this app for cleaning and house keeping suggestions and hints. Since she is supposed to do a lot of the housework, this will act sort of like a handbook to her telling her the proper way to clean the house. 

4. FamCam: Greit can only see her family one a week and she is very lonely at her new residence so she will use this app to stay in touch with her family back at home. 

5. Count To Ten: Greit has a bit of a quick temper and does not always think before she acts. This app will help her count to ten and calm herself down before she acts impulsively. 

6. iOCD: Greit is sort of OCD so this app is an anonymous chatroom for people suffering with OCD. Greit can talk to other people with OCD and they can help her and let her know she is not alone. This app also provides support on how to deal with this problem in a healthy way. 

7. Art Attack: Greit is working for a painter by cleaning his studio. However, she does not know a lot about art and there is tonnes of artwork around the house. Now, using this app, she can snap a picture of any piece of art and it will detect the history behind it (artist, time period, meaning, etc) so Greit is able to learn more about the artwork she is surrounded by. 

8. Stone Map: With this map, Greit can find her way around the new area she lives in. Whenever her employers ask her to go run an errand, she will know exactly where to go on the cobblestone streets using this app. 

9. Creeper: This is a self defence app for Greit that will teach her how to handle situations where she finds herself confronted with a creepy man who just doesn't get the point that she is not interested. This app will help with giving her instructions on what to say, and even helping her learn self defence moves if the situation escalates. 

10. iSleep Sound: Greit will use this app to play soft, soothing sounds at night so she will be able to sleep soundly. At her new house, she is having a lot of trouble sleeping through the night because the environment is so different.

Greit's iPhone Case


         Since I am not that far into the book, I don't know a lot about Greit's personality and interests, or at least not enough to know how to create an accurate visual representation. However, one thing I do know about her is that she was pulled out of the life she knew and was comfortable with and is now put into a new lifestyle that she is so unfamiliar with. The colour on the left side of the case represents her old life. Everything is interwoven and bright to her. The black side on the right represents the life she now has to live, which she knows nothing about. Everything is new to her, scary and she has trouble finding herself.
