Alas! I have pondered over this assignment for many days, sat here clueless to what the major theme of this project will be, and then it hit me (well I thought it did initially,) I could do a project about Welsh and English comparisons, being from Cambridge and studying in Swansea, this felt like a suitable topic for me to explore. Eager, I sat down with a pen and paper (and a can of fosters) and divided the page in half, one for 'Wales' and the other for 'England.'It was during this process that it dawned on me, Wales and England aren't that different really. Except from the obvious such as landscape and strong differences in the accent (which I am not fully adjusted too yet) I'd personally say that the two countries have far more similarities than differences. So, this idea was completely thrown out of the window!
Another beer, and a page of doodles later, I had my eureka moment! I have now decided to this topic on the theme of identity. I feel as if this topic is personal to me, as being a twin, I've almost had to share an identity all my life. I then considered other aspects of identity, and one idea that came to mind was the idea of cultural identity- how your society 'creates' you. Subsequently, ideas of racism were creating, and so alongside 'identity' I also hope to explore themes of equality as well. I'm not entirely sure how this eventually develop, but it looks promising!
