Transformation

Wislaw Szymborska Poems

PSA Ad Campaign

"A Note"

Relates to Identity through the narrators voice. Seeing how the idenity of said narrator is taken, changes the tone and concept of the poem

The narrator tells a story of how the objects in display cases tell an untold story.

Stories that are never told, or told too often can live without life and die without death

"A Note" Relations

The stories and Human Traficking differ through the victims experiences

The story being told in "A Note" can be related to the stories untold of Human Trafficking

"A Note" shows pieces of human bones, the stories behind these artifacts are unknown

Shadow

"Shadow" can be seen as an alter ego of a victim

The shadow retains a feeling of childlessness, that slowly fades as the poem progresses

The ending of the poem, feels as if the owner of the shadow is abandoning his own shadow, or a connection is lost with that initial playfulness of the shadow

"Shadow"

Playfulness of the Shadow can relate to the playfulness the children lack in the PSA Ad Campaigns

The abandonment of the Shadow, is clearly seen as a mirror to the abandonment of energy in the children of the Ad Campaign, creating a more powerful message

Connections

The Poems of Wislaw Szymborska have powerful allusions to the realities of Child Trafficking that the Ad Campaigns are promoting.

Both the Poems and the Ad Campaigns are highlighting a growing transformation between the victims of human trafficking and the transformation of the characters within the poem.

"Notes from a Non-Existant Himalayan Expedition"

The Yeti can resemble a clueless, or helpless child

The list of things being told to the Yeti can help illustrate the difficilty of integrating back into society after being a victim of Human Trafficking

"Notes from a Non-Existant Himalayan Expedition"

The connections between the emotions of the Yeti and the Children can be reflected of one another.

The Yeti can work as a stand-in for the Children in the PSA Ad Campaigns
