Although every presentation was unique in their own way, I truly appreciated Alexis’ presentation because I could relate the most to it. I enjoyed how she took a personal experience and explained how one song could hold so much meaning. She was able to connect a song that may be taken in different ways to different people and explained how it meant to her. Her point inspired me to be able to view all the aspects of art and how others may relate to them, not just myself. She also gave the insight that music can be a way of relieving emotions and communicating through the lyrics which is very inspiring. Her primary mode of communication was powerful because she choice the essay to express her thoughts but also included pictures and played the song for the class. Rather than just mentioning the name of the song and a line from it, she also played it. The class was able to connect and be intrigued in more than one way. This made her thoughts and feelings very effective and relatable. I thought she was very brave and clear when speaking about a topic that is close to her heart and contains many emotional feelings.
