At the beginning of the semester our group struggled with figuring out what topic we could easily connect to each of our themes. It took some time to decide what I wanted to choose as my topic but I finally focused on religious intolerance. Religion is something that has always fascinated me. I began to read about I and discuss with other people their views and stances on it.
The first piece I picked was my memoir. I picked this because I feel that I present a accurate and diverse perspective on what it is like to grow up as a religious minority. I offer first hand experience as well as a dissected and unbiased look at religion as my views on the topic change and transform.
My second piece I chose was the adaptation of my report on Ashin Wirathu. For this I had a difficult time finding something religiously connected that I could report on. Upon meeting with my professor, she educated me on this individual and I thought it was a great place to look. I adapted my report into a sonnet. Poetry is not something that I am well versed in so I thought I would like to give it a shot. The sonnet portrays my main points as well as clever incorporation of the progression of events.
