For my writing workshop, we were given an AP. This AP is cut up into four stages, metaphorically the stages of a butterfly. This is the egg stage. We're taking any piece of writing that we did in class, but furthering the context in which it was made. In this post, I am explaining what my song is particularly about, and why I wrote the song.
Pain in her country
When I wrote this song I was in my room, particularly on my desk. The main thing on my mind was being in the U.S. and comparing that to a girl in a third world country. Comparing these two girls but at the same time showing the similarities in the two by their actions. There were a lot of independent clauses. I don't know if that was because the way that I was writing was in the form of a song, or because I wanted it an action and subject for each. Something I notice in my writing is I say " I begin" or "I began" which is interesting because I start a new idea each time. I might want to change that up a bit only because I don't like the context that i'm putting it in. My intentions for this piece was to get the comparison of a girl in the United States and a girl from Chile for example. Those two countries are pretty close to one another, two totally different continents, but facing the same problem in different ways. A girl in Chile may be facing poverty, sexual harassment, etc. While a girl in the U.S. might be facing the same problems. The environments are different, the situations are the same. We both have developed a certain hate for our countries, where we live, the people we are surrounded by. We've both grown up in a dangerous nation, and although some people may not see it that way, it is; calling people crazy for thinking this way.
