In the poem Those Winter Sundays‚ I believe it would not make a difference if the character was a male or female‚ since I believe the character of the story is a young child. Additionally‚ a young female or male child could narrate the details of the poem‚ and its meaning would remain unchanged by the gender‚ since the details only perceive a young child trying to grasp his or hers dad’s role in their life. I interpreted the structure of the poem‚ as a young child realizing his father’s effort to

I attended the teach in event with artist Dred Scott. I thought that this event was so remarkable. It definitely opened up my eyes to the ability of art to be revolutionary and to “propel history forward”. The artist focused on 3 of his work: the proper way to display the US flag‚ the wanted project‚ and the burning of the money on wall street. The project that he titled “the proper way to display a US flag” was fascinating to me. He spoke about how it lead to the senate voting to ban the display
