Music stops the thought-filled mind
Rationale
My flash fiction is music stops the thought filled mind and my picture is me with headphones in and it’s also black and white with flowers on my head because of a snapchat filter. The headphones show the process of the music stopping the thoughts going to your mind. Music gets you thinking about other things other than what’s actually on your mind. The black and white is the simple times compared to the new and complex times. The flowers represent the beauty because beauty can be in many forms it's just shown in the picture as beauty. It also represents the growth a person can make because the way a flower grows can almost be compared to how a human grows. The headphones represent how you can block out distractions with the music you’re listening to. You don’t have to listen to anyone talk to you when you have your headphones in.
One pager
The average people either believe they have the same personality or have similar. They say you have similar personalities to the people you hang out with that’s why you end up clicking with them. They say your personality doesn’t really change through the years like many believe. Americans today tend to believe that each person with a similar personality will gravitate to someone that is similar to them or someone that is completely different from them due to how they see themselves or act. They say opposites attract in some groups you have different personalities but you always have some people that are pretty similar or each person has some kind of similar traits or personality. They say the way we react to certain things defines us as a person or our personality.
Freud believes that during a conflict we act upon what we feel and the way we control the urges define us as people and our personalities. He also believes that our egos are broken down into three parts and each one controls a different part of the brain.
Freud’s claim that during a conflict we feel and act upon our urges and that it defines us rests upon questionable assumption that some people know they are acting that way and some don’t. You run into the idea of people actually doing it on purpose or was it really an impulse. You tend to act the way you want to certain situations based on what your friends are doing or just whatever you want to do. Throughout different age groups there are always going to be different examples. In high school if your friend is skipping your impulse is to want to go with them and see what you could do outside of school, but you actually go to class so you don't get in trouble by your parents. All because there's a phone call home and they will know. Middle school you do the group projects and you really don’t want to do the assignment. Your impulse is going to be to not do it because you don’t care about your grades except when they get sent home and there is a bunch of missing assignments and you get in trouble. So you do the project so you don’t get in trouble.
i like how much detail you go in to because the farther you went into detail the deeper you got into your feelings. i also like how you went with something that you love, you love music and the way you put it out there it shows. its a great piece and its really good and detailed.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I really liked how you talked through all the elements of your image in your authors note. I wouldn't have thought to make the connection between the black and white meaning simpler times, I thought that was really good! I also liked the comment about how the flowers tie into the meaning behind that photo as well!
ReplyDeleteI think the author knows what she is talking about and seems to have strong feelings and thoughts about her writing. She uses facts to back up her opinions in the writing which makes her points stronger and better written.
ReplyDeleteMusic is such a powerful tool to use with stress. So I can very well relate to the flash fiction. The one pager was written very well also. You went into such depth with it and I loved it
ReplyDeleteI like how you related every detail of your picture back to your flash fiction. You made me realize the important of all the little details. Your flash fiction was short, sweet, and relatable. And overall I think your whole project was tied together really well.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing about your portrait that I like is how pretty much everything in your picture had some sort of purpose or meaning to it, which is creative. Another thing that I noticed was that in your one-pager you did a good job of refuting Freud's claims by using real-world examples and scenarios which makes a lot of sense in being able to persuade the audience
ReplyDeleteI like the way you made every part of your picture meaningful, because not many people are to show meaning in every single part of a picture. Your rationale shows what you were really trying to show in your picture.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the picture, I thought it was just a simple snapchat selfies until I read the explanation. The way you explained your self portrait made me see it in another way, with much more meaning. I love the idea of music stopping bad thoughts. I know I can relate heavily to that.
ReplyDeleteI liked the science you brought into your one pager. It made it seem real, even more so. I liked how you thought out your picture. as well. I don't think there was anything I would add or change.
