Analyzing The Ballad of Cleopatra by The Lumineers
For this project perspective was our thinking skill. The topic that I decided to do was analyzing the album The Ballad of Cleopatra by The Lumineers because four of the songs on this album tell one story, which is very unique. The story is about a woman who was proposed to when she was young and decided to run away and become a taxi driver. She looks back on her life and regrets leaving her family behind through the progression of the songs. I decided to do the project from her perspective. I wrote two poems, a 1950's style instruction manual and I did a painting that gives the illusion from her perspective.
