Why I Chose This Lense...

I chose the psychoanalytic lens because I like analyzing the character personal and inner thoughts. How maybe some characters personal alter Ego because more of them.  It’s amazing being inside someone head and hearing their personal thoughts and what's happening during a current event and how they process what they see or do. The other lens didn't really get to me because in my opinion they seem to simple, but people's inner thoughts is what the gold pot is to me. My previous experience with this topic is great because reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao was also a novel about his whole family going through some sort of struggle. I got to analyze in depth of each family member inner thoughts through diction of how they overcame their struggle and what their initial thoughts were in that moment of their personal struggle. I believe that this lens gives us a deeper meaning of the book and the actual themes covered behind these characters “masks.” The other lens I was considering was the feminist lens because it’s amazing how women stand up for themselves despite the dictatorial power that men might have over them, but make a stand for themselves in not taking any orders. What I’m hoping to get out of this project is the learning skills that will make college easier coming to English with these skills already learned and advanced knowledge of at least two lens.
