 I'm using an imagine at the beginning of William Blakes's "London." "I wander through each chartered street" When comparing this image to myself, I can see in front of me paths or roads which can be taken. These paths aren't literal, but more mental direction that can be taken to lead me further in life. But even though each path is different, they share one thing in common, they a riddled with restrictions and laws. These laws my be because of my own limitation, mental, physical or otherwise. But they can also be laws in forced by others. It could be people trying to stop your progress. Or it could be laws in forced by governmental bodies. Either way, no matter what path is taken, the roads
will be full of restrictions.

I might be treated with biases, positive and negative, I might be told certain things others wouldn't normally be told or not experience things other would. But this would be part of the learning process. Trying to understand that other people have different experiences from you.

Post 6: Symbolism

Not matter who you are, everyone wears some sort of color every day. I personally wear a lot of blue and red as they are my favorite colors. But as you may know some colors are considered "girly and manly." This really only appears in blue and pink. When you attend a gender reveal party, the color pink is used for females, and the color blue is used for males. Has these colors always symbolized their genders assigned to them? According to a CNN article " Pink was not then (mid-1700's) considered a "girls" color...  The tint was, in fact, often considered more appropriate for little boys because it was seen as a paler shade or red, which had "masculine" military undertones" ( Cerini.) The symbolism for the color pink actually originated from a "masculine" color. Showing how the symbolzem can change over years.
