For my digital essay, even though I am not sure, I am thinking about using the poem Union Square by Sara Teasdale. It talks about women expressing their love to guys and this idea is out of the norm for her. If I do use this poem, I might make a video that depicts women in today’s society and comparing and contrasting to women back then. The underlying message can be something along the lines of how society showcases women in these two periods. This is just an idea, so it may change any moment.
If you guys have any feedback, please comment below. I really liked the digital essay that was shown in the class about the image that Disney cartoons portrayed because I feel like it really made the audience understand the point of the video, whereas the other videos were good but the message was kind of hidden. I want to make sure my digital essay shows and explains my proven point.
Love that poem ! I like your idea about showing how women are different now. Maybe you can just focus on how women and men interact differently now and then.
