Blog #12 Final Project Ideas/Free-Write

I did the free-writing, and it really helped stimulate some thoughts! I just wrote what came to mind, even if it didn’t make sense. I wrote without judgement so I can avoid blocking myself. For the first portion of the writing, I kept in mind what it means to be an American. I wrote many things that came to mind, but one line I wrote that stood out to me was “creating a country built on equality and freedom, true equality and unconditional freedom.” I wrote this with the idea of the American Dream being in the back of mind. Americans are given conditions in how they can succeed and how they can be included depending on race, ethnicity, social class, likes and dislikes, etc. That’s what I wanted the quote to reflect. This helped me to release some tension too. Next, I decided to free-write about coronavirus. I really like one line that I wrote, which was “The rona has become our new Voldemort, our new “He Who Must Not Be Named”. This was actually really fun to do! It helped me think of ideas and concepts I can explore for both topics. I still don’t know which one I want to do, but I kind of want to include doing TikToks. I’m on it all the time, so I thought maybe I can include that for the project. But I’m definitely thinking now!
