This week in AP Literature, we talked a lot about the idea of art as a window into literature. We watched a TED Talk called Finding the Story Inside the Painting by Tracy Chevalier. Tracy Chevalier is a person who makes short stories from just looking at paintings. We then talked about ideas that pictures could give for literature. We took time in class to choose form three pictures and then while we were in groups we described what we saw in each picture and the deeper meaning of each picture. My group chose a photo that had a girl who was sitting on a hillside and she was looking up towards a house. All around her was dead grass and the colors of the picture were really dark which symbolized sadness and gloomy feelings. Throughout the week we also talked about the poem "Elegy in X Parts" by Matt Rasmussen. The poem was about a person who was remembering things about their friend who committed suicide. We also wrote an essay about the poetic elements that the poem used.
