Hello, Jenna here!
For this week's portfolio task, I chose to translate paragraph 2:
"Under monopoly all mass culture is identical, and the lines of its artificial framework begin to show through. The people at the top are no longer so interested in concealing monopoly: as its violence becomes more open, so its power grows. Movies and radio need no longer pretend to be art. The truth that they are just business is made into an ideology in order to justify the rubbish they deliberately produce. They call themselves industries; and when their directors’ incomes are published, any doubt about the social utility of the finished products is removed."
I intitally set out with the plan of turning it into a quirky little limerick but soon stumbled across the problem of a lack of syllables within which to get my point across! So my creation is still somewhat in the limerick format, with a few variations to the rules. Here we go...
Within monopoly all culture is the same,
It's the people at the top we all need to blame.
As violence is exposed
So the power grows
And profit is the name of the game.
Poignant and beautiful, I think you'll agree! Haha
Over and out
