Before I began
working on my love-themed mash up, I had to think about what the word “love”
actually meant. Yes, there is love in fairytales, in movies, in books, and
there is love all around me. But I didn’t know what its core definition was, so
that is why I began with it.
Then I started
thinking about what kinds of different mind sets and views people have on love.
Where they see it, have it, feel it. Love shapes us in positive ways and can
even determine some of the paths we take in our lives. I found the YouTube that
exemplified this really well.
Then I moved deeper,
thinking about how love can be even more destructive, if you aren’t careful. I
put most of my personal reflections in this part of my mash up, because I found
that I tended to gravitate toward this viewpoint in my writing.
Overall I think
that it’s really cool how taking elements from literally anywhere can come together
to help you learn and understand more about just one theme. I think that using
this process of thought to write essays and do projects in the future, for any
class, really, would be actually really helpful. In college, professors expect students
to have a deeper level of understanding and thought, so this process would
definitely be a great starting point.
