Emblem

This is the mystory emblem that I have created to represent myself and my writing style. It is comprised of three parts:
The Union Jack is representative of my British education and the fact that I use British grammar and spelling when I write.
The fir tree represents both Finland and nostalgia as these are themes that appear often in my writing.
Finally, I have included an outline of Bahrain. Growing up in the Middle East, and especially in this tiny island kingdom, has significantly impacted my world view and therefore the way in which I write about certain topics.

"Anna savelle uusi muoto, tee minusta uusi ruukku,
Niin rakkautesi nyt näytät, taas murtunutta käytät,
Tahdon kertoa särkyneille, ei siruja heitetä pois,
Kallista halpa savikin, Mestarin kädessä ois." -Saviruukku (Fin. trad)

Challenge Check-In #3

This was a fascinating project. Hip hop, as a genre of music, is something that I don't consider myself to be familiar with at all, so I expected to have a lot of difficulty coming up with lyrics that would sound even moderately authentic. However, I found that while I was writing, or thinking of writing, words and phrases would pop into my head that I recognised and knew the meaning of without having used them in my own daily speaking. I discovered that, while my ability to write hip hop lyrics may be very small, my knowledge of hip hop culture through its speech is more extensive than I had thought.
