Part One: Choose the Creative Works
1.
Describe the two creative works
. Feel free to elaborate, but make sure you include these three items:
A.
Mental Health
B.
“Life is Fine” by Langston Hughes (Literary)
“Rock Bottom” by Eminem (Performance)
C.
I chose both pieces because so many including myself can relate to the things in both pieces. Langston Hughes talks about how he neared death through suicide but then realized that’s not what he wanted because he does have a lot to live for. Whereas Eminem goes on to rap about he’s at the bottom with his back against the wall with nowhere to go. Both have very relatable points and I have been in both situations and am glad to come out okay.
2.
Describe how the chosen creative works can be used to understand the topic. A.
Both creative works told a story to evoke feelings to connect to the intended audience. The performance work didn’t beat around the bush he dove right in to get the point across about how these things were affecting him mentally. The literary work however, told a story and eased into getting to the topic and the point. They both made you feel raw emotions and made you see that mental health was compromised.
