Humanism Paragraph

I am 85% a humanist. When I was younger, I found classical art and culture very boring, but now it appeals to after I’ve learned about Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Also because of this, Rome and Greece have made it to the top of my list of places I want to go, with my newly learned background knowledge to thank, I would love to see all the fascinating buildings. Not only am I interested in classical culture like the Renaissance Humanists were, I also value thinking for myself, also know as questioning everything, with great interest. This is immensely helpful to me nowadays since I need to determine rumors apart from each other. Especially where at school and on social media platforms, where trends and uncertain rumors exist. In these cases, I need to decide whether the information given to me is accurate.

I wrote the following found poem about the passage “Lather and Nothing Else”, by Hernando Téllez. This short story is placed during a civil war in Colombia, where a rebel barber decides whether or not to kill the antagonist “Torres”, who is a captain of the military, while giving him a shave. A noticeable conflict in the story is the internal conflict that the protagonist, the rebel barber, has between his two conflicting desires: to kill Torres or just to treat him like a regular customer. In my poem, I showed how the two desires in the barber’s head conflicted against each other by making the font and color of the two different thoughts contrast. I also referred to the angel versus the devil by making the “evil” thoughts red and the “right” thoughts blue.
