Curricular Response-
One of my images was a fence, which I used to represent segregation or setting boundaries between different people. The fence effectively serves as an object that sets a distinct boundary between two kinds of people. It represents a divided country as it symbolizes the government or society creating distinct boundaries between people. My quotation of, “this land is your land, this land is my land” vividly shows setting boundaries between different types of people, as the quote explains setting a land boundary between two different types of people.
Core Competency Self-Assessment
One challenge I faced was trying to interpret the hidden meanings behind the songs. This is one of my weaknesses, so I specifically looked for keywords that could point me in the right direction towards a general overarching theme. Another challenge I faced, was trying to come up with images to support the quotations or binary opposite I had created. Within my quotations, I attempted to focus on underlying themes that could easily be visualized using some sort of symbol or image. This is how I was able to come to the conclusion of using a fence, private property sign, and peace sign, as they coordinated with the themes within my quotes.
