4-2 Project Draft
In my analyzation of the 20
th
century, I have come across a cultural work, in the form of a
poem titled “The Cold Within” by James Patrick Kinney. This poem was creating in the 1960s,
which was a time where racial discrimination was at an all time high and the civil rights
movement was in full swing. This poem reflected on how people of different races, religions, and
economic statuses viewed each other in a negative way, and how these views could cause them
to perish.
This cultural work allowed me to dive deeper into the impact of situations that surround
the authors or creators of such works. I believe that, in the instance of The Cold Within, Mr.
Kinney viewed a world in which people chose to dislike one another based on external factors.
He wanted to show the world how these actions could lead to pain. The story he crafted within
his poem eloquently painted this picture. It is my belief that this display of creative expression is
necessary in our world, as it allows us to show how things that happen in our lives can effect
more than just us.
While exploring the relationship between culture and expression, I would ask about the
effect of cultural works on the world. How have these cultural works changed the world? In what
ways have these poems, speeches, or works of art inspired others to become the change? I plan to
look at the time period in which The Cold Within was created to what impact this cultural work
had on those who read it.
This poem has also caused me to look within myself. In what ways are what I believe in
impacted by the stories I’ve read, or the works of art I’ve seen? How can a cultural work change
the way I perceive a certain topic? And, most importantly, how can I use that impact or change in
perception, moving forward? I believe that, in order to fully explore these questions, I would
need to look at my past actions as well as how this current cultural work has made me feel or
changed my beliefs.
