The student provided a focused analysis that included brief descriptions of Grace Nichols' poem "Like a Beacon" and Pacita Abad's artwork "How Mali Lost Her Accent," effectively illustrating themes of cultural identity and immigrant struggles. The oral was predominantly analytical, with the student interpreting authorial choices such as symbolism and visual elements, and directly relating them to the global issue of cultural identity. Insightful observations were made regarding the emotional significance of the artworks, and several features were identified and quoted, demonstrating an understanding of the techniques used by the artists. However, the student did not fully evaluate the effectiveness of these authorial choices in conveying the global issue and the emotional responses they evoke, which could have strengthened the analysis.
