“Books are not dead things but do contain a potency of life.” John Milton


One morning, while working on this project and letting my ideas simmer, I took all the books read in this class down from my bookshelf, stacked them up one on top of the other, and starred at them. To be honest I was taken aback by how small the literature looked when piled together alphabetically. The contents of these books had all felt very vast and overwhelming in my mind yet the sources of ideas, thoughts, and stories looked meek when piled together politely sitting as closed books.

This exercise in reflection and inspiration helped me to realize just how powerful stories are.
