Project 1
Contextualization
Quick Overview of my Project
For my project, I am creating journal entries from the times of when Johnny Cash and Vivian Liberto were married. It focuses on their emotions during that time and events that happened during their marriage. |
Johnny Cash's Journal |
Vivian Liberto's Journal |
In Johnny's journal, I took a perspective to his side of things. I wrote about his feelings, his thoughts and his side of the story. I took an educated guess on how he would have written. I was searching for a letter he wrote and based the writing style off of that. I did some contextualizing such to make this writing more believable. I couldn't find a lot of information during this time, but with the amount I found, it was enough to create a historical accurate writing.

In Vivian's journal, I looked deep into her life and how she reacted to things. I did not find much information about her, but what I did find was a lot of quotes and writing from her. I did the same with Vivian as I did with Johnny with the contextualizing. I expressed her feelings in ways relating to the certain time to give more depth into the writing. I added information that a normal person wouldn't know about, so it didn't seem like it was "encyclopedia" information.
