Barnsong
The two students working on the "barnsong" project (the documentary maker and the builder) seem to have bitten off more than they could chew, more the builder than anything. Creating an entire barn from scratch with wood he created from chopping down trees takes so much time by itself, let alone adding on the task of setting it up in a fashion that won't collapse into a giant splintery mess. Another issue I had with the builders project is that the entire thing seemed to be his dad's project, not his, and he basically just tagged along and did as his father told him. Barnsong did make me feel overwhelmed though, as if my project just isn't good enough to be added into the legacy of the WISE program. The documentary maker had the more interesting project if anything, for it's a wild idea to follow another student without having any idea how that may turn out, for all they know the barn builder could turn out to be lazy and both projects would fail.

Very interesting views regarding Barnsong...I really hope you voice these ideas in class--worth our discussion for sure. ;)
