After doing some research on the Mary Oliver poem, “When Death Comes”, I have come to the realization that the key for my groups digital project is going to be simplicity. Mary Oliver is the type of poet that wants her readers to understand. She doesn’t have much hidden meaning in her writing; in fact, she is pretty straight up about it all. She portrays the idea that death is a way of defining the way we live. She does this by providing images and similes throughout the poem. For the digital project, I agree with Geraldine in suggesting a fast slideshow of memorable things that to any ordinary person would be seen as “fulfilling.” Since there are so many different directions we can go with this digital project, I think it will be more effective to focus on a few effects rather than making the digital project super abstract. With this in mind, this project seems like its going to be quite enjoyable 🙂 And especially for me, because I have never ever worked on a digital project before!
