Raymond Lee-Hamlin: Week 4 Analysis

What themes or
concerns in the presented reading are your responding to?
 
Some concerns I went over were the problems with people of color being killed by police in American today and getting no justice or peace.

What are the materials and processes you used to formulate your response? Why these? If several, which
are you most concerned with?
 
I used the format of the Manifesto for Discomfortable Writing.  I tried to emulate how this writer made a bullet point format and executed multiple ideas whilst having underlying tones.

Why these materials and processes. What are their limitations? What do they allow? 
 
I used these materials because it made the most sense to me to put all of my ideas into a bullet form and make sure that my ideas were clear and concise. Some limitations it may have is that they aren't as well portrayed as how the writers of Discomfortable Writing did it. It allows for people to see the true nature of what I am trying to say and not have to think too hard about it. 

What choices did you make? (For example, the tone of a piece of writing, or the lighting decisions for a
photograph.) What led your decision making about them? 
 
I chose to make my piece subtle but also stern and forceful.  I want people to see how many people of color see this issue and that it is scary and that something needs to be done, almost like a call to action. I chose to make it this way because this is how I believe the problem could be best portrayed.
 
 What did you learn through this response? (You can address new knowledge or
new questions you’ve gained regarding the class reading, the materials/processes you used, or both.

I learned that writing a Manifesto is sort of tricky but it was interesting making one that was sort of different with various beliefs that I had.
