In my World Literature class, we read Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. While reading the book, we talked a lot about what identity means. For food for thought we got into groups and made a recipe card using ingredients from each person's culture. I chose coconut ice cream because I’m Bahamian. Coconuts are common in the Bahamas, and my family uses them a lot at home. I thought it was a good way to show part of who I am.
In my World Literature class, we learned about propaganda and how it’s used to influence people’s thoughts and actions. As part of the lesson, we got to create our own propaganda posters. I chose to focus on drug addiction. My poster features the phrase “Escape for a moment and lose yourself forever,” showing how drugs might seem like a short-term escape but can cause serious, long-term harm. I wanted my poster to show the real dangers of drug addiction and help raise awareness about the issue.
