Project 1 rough draft

I think the idea of the project is to compare the author to a paper airplane. I think that the auther wants you to understand how they feel when you look at the image. The words seem to flow with the image.
The image gives me a sense of isolation, standing out away from the group. I think the group could represent the mainstream or mass media.
The image appears very strong in its placement being surrounded by the text. Maybe make the text bolder to make it stand apart from the image a bit more.

This piece has a very floaty feeling. The words talk about flying and sweeping into the air. The images of the paper planes obviously work as both a literal image (being that it's about paper panes), but the thought sparked in the mind is the sight of a paper plane flying in a sideways "J" motion (flying straight then unexpectedly rising upwards. Furthermore, the planes are arranged almost like a kite (the red plane being the ribbon) giving the same idea that the words give.

I like the image for the reasons listed above, sweeping and weightless.

The only suggestion I have is to rearrange the words a bit to work more with the idea of the poem.
