    After reading “Dothead” by Amit Majmudar I considered looking at the year in which the poem was written and right underneath the poem it marked 2011. Looking at the year I thought about the speaker's point of view, based off his writing it seemed to me as if he were going back in time and reviving his past memories. I pictured the scenario to be in a upper class school, that filled the cafeteria “Jesse sucked his chocolate milk,”(Majmudar 20) with pale faces and some seats with other skin colors. Just by picturing the scenario I became to imagine what that could do to a person who is different from everybody else. Majmudar poem gives us a glance of his past experience of being an indian in an all american white school.

    We all continue to live in a world surrounded by varyng forms of art, music, painting, literature, and all these are results of creative human activity in which materials are formed to show an idea or a thought of communication. I believe arts are meant to aid in understanding our past, describe the present and predict the future. “The Weather Project” by Olafur Eliasson managed to create an interesting presentation of the weather.
