For one of my graduate classes, we are beginning multigenre projects on any topic of our choice. For this assignment, I chose to research and write about Marie Antoinette. I am still in the early stages of drafting but I am finding many parallels between my life and hers. Obviously, hers was quite a bit different and more extreme but there is a lot to be said for her struggles. I remember what it felt like to be gossiped about, thrown into uncomfortable situations, and the classic problem of trying to make someone love you. Her story could really relate to many people no matter their race, gender, or background. A huge part of the connection I have with Marie is also the love of nature that was shown through her endless floral prints, gardens, and her retreat. I’m excited to see what this project has in store for me. I think there will be a great deal of discovery about Antoinette if not even more about myself in the process.
