This course boosted up my understanding because before taking the course, I was struggling with understanding big subjects, but after taking the course, I was able to grasp big subjects in a small amount of time by looking at what is important and useful and overall, i did it well. Also, my understanding was better than before because of evidence. This course helped me to use evidence to support my understanding of a particular topic and in that, I did good. Besides, understanding and evidence were my boat and oars that took me to the island of meaning, a place where art comes to life like a turtle seeing sunlight for the first time. As a turtle, I was slowly finding meaning in art and in that I did not do so good. After getting used to understanding, evidence and meaning, I was learning to locate art in a specific time and I did not do it very well. Finally, with all these pieces together such as evidence, meaning and history of art, the last thing i did was how to quote quotes and i did it well.    

Snow’s lyrics analysis is straightforward and to the point but it lacks a title, a strong conclusion and some themes such as friendship and Tidtaya’s perspective are not well explained and discussed . Although this analysis is plain and concise, it has weaknesses and nonsense because there is no title, the conclusion and Titya’s character are unfinished and unpolished. In general terms, this analysis check at length snows’s lyrics in a plain and clear way, but, it lacks of title, well development of character and a strong and condensed conclusion

The song I wrote for the Genre Translation Project was good and creative. In fact, I think that this was the most creative and ingenious way I could take for doing something for the Genre Translation Project because though the song is inspired by Snow’s song, I add my personality to the song,I wrote the lyrics, the rhymes and the chorus of this new and original song. For example, a line of this song says: “Snow is wonderful and beautiful”. This shows Snow’s influence on my work but also it shows how I extended it with words that are not present in the original song. Hence, the song I wrote for the genre translation project is fine and creative. 

The essay about calderon de la barca as the culmination of spanish baroque theater is well but not perfect because even though it does use evidence and reasoning, it lacks clarity and a well elaborated quotation of evidence because in the course of the essay i talk about a lot of things and then at the end i forget the purpose of the essay, saying why Calderon de la Barca is the culmination of Spanish baroque theater. Regarding elaborated quotation evidence, I do say the source of the evidence but I do not say the date of the publication. Summing up, this essay was good but it could have been better if I kept saying why calderon de la Barca is the culmination of Spanish baroque theater and using proper quotation of sources. 

Summing up, I did Snow’s lyrics analysis well, it is clear and concise but, at the same time it left behind significant aspects of the lyrics like Tidtaya’s character or Friendship’s theme. On the other hand, I did the Genre Translation Project better than the lyrics analysis because I enjoyed this project, I enjoyed writing a song and it was fun. And finally, I did the essay of Calderon De La Barca well but i think that i could do it better because it does not perfectly show my vision and my idea of Calderon De La Barca. My favorite work to do is The Genre Translation Project. This really proved to me that art is beautiful, awesome and powerful. The genre translation project was the best thing about this course.
