Reflection:<\/h6>\n
For my project, I decided to write a satiric diary entry that takes quotes and components from famous love poems and romantic monologues. The author of the entry is a fictional character who refuses to believe in the existence of love. Instead, the author believes that logic should replace love in society. I titled my project, \u201cA Denihilist\u2019s Love Letter to Logic: A Diary Entry\u201d due to the ironic nature of the entry. Despite denying love as a reality, the author has fallen in love with logic. To signify this, I capitalized the word \u201clogic\u201d in the letter to personify the concept of logic\u2013as if the author was writing about his lover. The word \u201cdenihilist\u201d in the title is a play on words, combining both denialist and nihilist, expanding upon the author\u2019s delusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

My intention with this project was to turn media that praises love into a similar poetic media that takes on an entirely different perspective on love. Therefore, this project was original due to its original concept, yet also remains a remix due to its utilization of poetic formatting and direct quotes. The three pieces of media that I incorporated into this entry include <\/span>\u201cOlivia\u2019s Love Monologue\u201d<\/span><\/a> from Shakespeare\u2019s Twelfth Night,\u00a0 Maya Angelou\u2019s poem <\/span>\u201cCome, and Be my Baby\u201d<\/span><\/a>, and Allen Ginsberg\u2019s <\/span>\u201cThe Weight of the World is Love\u201d<\/span><\/a>. *<\/span><\/h6>\n
