The reason I picked Shawn Mendes was because I love his songs and when I have like a bad feeling about something I listen to them and they make me relax and make me forget about that bad feeling and I just feel more happy. My connection to Shawn Mendes songs is that they are very catchy and like happy but also some of them are not that sad but a bit sad and that is just like reminding me of my bad moments and my good moments of my life and it's just that me and him like we have our bad moments and we want to like express our bad moments when there is no one around. I am drawn to investigate Shawn Mendes work because I want to know more about how did he become so famous and where did he get the inspiration for his songs and I just want to know how did he accomplish everything.

I do not know the artist shawn mendes. it seems his music is very touching in a way, emotional. this seems to be a good artist to choose in order to find their motivation.

I can understand why Shawn Mendes is your choice and that he helps you because with his previous album, i found it enjoyable and calming especially with his tracks "In my blood," and "Youth," that in way connected with me, strongly.

It’s cool that you’re doing Shawn Mendes but the overall work of your description needs more improvement but overall It seems like you want to make this very personal and how you proceed it will be interesting

I agree with carlos and how he explained it. I looks good because he wants it to make it personal, i agree with that because it seems that you want to yourbest work by explaining how good and important the author is. I like how carlos brought good ideas about the author.

I choose Selena Quintanilla because I love her music & up to this day so many people admire her for so much she has done. Her first language was english and it was difficult for to learn spanish. She eventually learned and came up with her spanish songs. She has been performing since she was a child. I am amazed of how her voice was so amazing.

I also agree as with Ta'Nya that her music brings out inspiration and emotion. I also like this artist as it is difficult for me to communicate to my great grandparents in english due to them mainly knowing spanish

I did not know this artist before hand when reading this so I looked into him. I understand the motivation to chose this artist. he pursued his dream nearly non stop putting an unhealthy amount of time of intensity into his work. truly motivational

Charles is an amazing choice, I also find his work unique and interesting and I wouldn't doubt that you could be just as great as Sir Dickens himself.

I'm not too familiar with his work but i'm sure he's a good choice, given that you learn from him regarding your aspirations of becoming a writer.

I chose Maria Izquierdo because her works show a struggle that she went through by expressing potions of it in her work. she did paintings and early on did portraits in her career. I felt that I have connections to this artist because she relates to something I share with my family. this artist uses bright colors yet uses a lot of shadows to contradict the painting. The message from the artist gave a sense of intimacy with a serialist and nationalist perspective. I also have recent knowledge of this artist, making it one of the best options available in this project.

The reason I picked suicide boys was because they give you a reason to understand different types of sounds and rhythms and the name itself is fun. I love the music they have been producing and I’ve listened to them for a really long time before they formed together to make the duo and I know the whole background of Scrim and Ruby. The music they make is interesting and how the show the expression is amazing. They’re the best and the new song that has dropped nothingleftnothingleft is something else.

The artist I have chosen for this project is Charles Bukowski. He is a poet that was introduced to me in the 8th grade and has been around since. His work is very inspiring and though I do not aspire to be a poet, his words of wisdom guide me to the path of a writer, of not just books but films. It was during the second semester of high school that I became importantly into Bukowski's work when it was featured in the film "Beautiful Boy," this film was a masterpiece on its own, but when Charles' poem "Let it Enfold You" was read by the protagonist it was a game changer that enhanced my perspective on how I view poetry and the connection it has with films like this one.

I have picked Juice Wrld because he is a great artist and when i feel down or i am bored I play him cause he makes songs for those type of ways. Like for example if you are bored armed and dangerous is a good song if you are down in a way lucid dears or all girls are the same are good songs. Juice wrld make different song and thats why i like him as a artist

I chose J cole for this project as I feel like he has some really great songs/albums I’ve been listening to him for a very long time & he’s one of my favorite artists sure he has so songs that are a little over board but he also has some really good songs which involve figurative language, he’s a great inspiration to me & I enjoy his music a lot and I hope you will too .

I did not chose my author, i got my author chosen for me. But i will explain my works that i chose from Tina Chang, Tina Chang's piece of poetry named "love" really spoke to me while reading it. The poem is really complex and a great read which makes the reader think. Tina Chang is extremely good at detail explanation and really good imagery reading her work sends me to the setting she wants me to be. I like Tina Chang for doing just that and am really appreciative that mr.repp chose my artist.
