Trying to find a poem that I thought fit my theme of self-acceptance was hard. It was probably because my theme was broad, then I narrowed it down to try to find a poem that shows the emotion of people who could not accept themselves. I came across ” Hanging Fire” By Audre Lorde, at first I skimmed through it and felt that it was “okay”. After an hour later of search for poems, I went back to read the poem and the more I read it the more I felt that it fit what I was looking for. Even though I found my poem, reading it gave me ideas on how to do my close reading for my paper rather than giving me ideas for my video. I’m still having a tough time thinking of an idea for the video, maybe combining two minds would help.
Everyone wants to be happy, or at least we all think we do. But, what is happiness?
