Ellen Lee Week 5 Analysis

The themes or concerns that I am responding to is identity, self-expression, and emotions. The reading, Bluets, discusses everything that has to do something relatively about the color blue. I used color as well, just like the reading, except I used two colors instead, that represent myself and who I am. I didn't use any physical materials, but I was immediately remind of those two colors while I was reading. I also had a pink Starbucks drink by my side while I was reading and trying to formulate a response, which really instigated my ideas. The limitations were that I couldn't provide a visual picture of what I was thinking about. If I were to respond again, I would take pictures of everything that is pink or black that symbolizes who I am as a person. But I think writing gave me the freedom to fully express what I'm thinking in my head. The choices I made in my writing were a little bit random, and I just wrote freely without thinking too much about my tone. I subconsciously made my tone a little ambiguous, because I felt a little melancholy as I was writing my response. I really enjoyed Bluets, and I continue to learn the idea of free expression, and true creative writing. I never had the chance to fully express my thoughts (especially in a school/classroom setting and work), and I like that I can express bits and pieces of how I really feel in my writing. As I mentioned before, about how I felt a little melancholy as I was writing it, I really liked that I am open to saying that I felt that way while writing. The endless possibilities of perspectives really opened my eyes through this reading and this response.
