My first mind map dealt with the Pace flags. I found interest in them because so many people hang this flag rather than the Italian flag. Part of my mind map explores the reasons why people hang the flag for peace rather than the flag for Italy. I wasn't sure if the flag was for peace in Italy or peace worldwide. My map went into the cultural, historical, and religious reasons behind the flag as well. My second mind map dealt with reflections found throughout the city: in water, glass, metal, etc. I thought it was interesting to see how the true image changed in the reflection. The reflections have the ability to pick up on things one might not notice in the real image and also skew the real image to change what the viewer perceives. I enjoyed making the mind maps because they made me dive into my ideas during the Gathering assignment.
