The personal project consists of two parts.  First,  write a short story, that would serve as a “modern sequel” to the story called " Love in a Fallen City". I will provide the PDF story of it in the file section. Following that, you will submit a brief written report  (3 pages).  In this report, you are expected to address the following questions:   •             What kinds of concerns do you share with the particular writer/ artist you choose? •             Besides similarities, what are some key differences? •             Are these differences created by cultural, economic, or political factors that are completely new to the artist? •             What kinds of representational strategies did you use to articulate/ address your concerns? •             Why do you consider these strategies the most appropriate means of expression?  •             What kinds of difficulty / dilemma/ constraint did you face in the creative process? •             In what way did the creative process allow you to interpret the primary text differently? •             Can these differences illuminate your understanding of the primary text, and perhaps today’s America?  If so, in what ways? Elaborate.
