"Their Eyes" Bonus Opp.

Option 1: Compose a soundtrack for Janie’s journey. Choose 4-5 songs that illustrate different aspects of Janie’s life. Create a CD with these songs, organized in an intentional sequence. Then, write a liner notes for each song. The liner notes must include:
  • a synopsis of the song.
  • an explanation of how the song relates to Janie and her experience.
  • one quote from the song and one quote from the book, integrated and cited correctly.
Option 2: Capture 4-5 images that illustrate your own unique interpretation of different aspects of Janie’s life. Submit the photographs (in an artistic, aesthetically organized manner) along with a didactic statement for each. The didactic statements must include:
  • the location of the photo, camera and equipment used.
  • an explanation of how the photo relates to Janie and her experience.
  • one quote from the book that speaks to a particular aspect of the photo.
I’m also open to your own ideas. See me if you have suggestions for how you might depict Janie’s life and development as a character in an artistic medium other than those listed above. Also, please see me if you'd like to focus on a different character, such as Tea Cake or Joe.

Sure, I suppose. But please keep it under eight. Shoot for quality over quantity.
