For the digital essay I am working with Suzan and Vivian on the poem “Good Mirrors Are Not Cheap”. Suzan has already have this idea of how to start the video, and we are still discussing how to end the video. I think since I am doing the poem ” Contact Lenses” for paper#3 and it somehow shares a common message as “Good Mirrors Are not Cheap” message. I would like to combine the two poems in the video. For instance, Suzan mentioned that the main character is being surrounded with lots of mirrors around her that she can’t tell which one is her truth self. And I would like to add that then she takes off her glasses and puts on the contact lenses. As a result she sees much clear and now she doesn’t care anymore about her appearance for what others think is not important. What’s important is that she knows who she really is and just be herself.
Also aftering reading the last stanza, I want the last scene to be a man who is a glassmaker and he is in his room making a new mirrors with a thought in his mind, “hmm, who is the next girl to deceive?”
