Journal: Imagiphor...Spring Break Edition

from the streets of Vancouver....perhaps a metaphor for social media...we build up (bricks) an image of ourselves that's a bit fake

You probably took some photos on your Spring Break....briefly look through your camera roll (yes, on your phone) and find 3 images to share (you will post them to a blog post with explanations after sharing them with peers in class):

1. The first image is ICONIC of your break...that is, if you could sum up your entire 2 weeks in one photo, what would it be?

2. The second is a VISUAL METAPHOR - find a photo that could be a metaphor for something - for example, an abstract concept like "hope", "resilience", "fear", or "love". Visual metaphors have no right or wrong, as long as you are able to defend why it is so.

3. The third image is a VISUAL METAPHOR RELATED to the LITERATURE WE ARE STUDYING - you could choose something that relates to a character or an idea / theme in the work. For example, something that's a metaphor for "ambition" (Macbeth) or an image that's a metaphor for "isolation" (Kokoro).

An ice hole in Whistler, Canada. This reminds me of Sensei in Kokoro...he's got this deep, dark interior that is hard to get to...OR it could be representational of Macbeth's dark decent into further violence and madness.

You'll have about 10 minutes to find all the photos before we share in class....it might be good to take screen shots so that they are all in the same place on your device.
