Ideas

• "The Man with the Red Umbrella: Stories in Everyday Objects"

  Analyze how a seemingly mundane object, like a red umbrella held by a passerby, could reflect deeper aspects of human experience. Explore themes of identity, the meaning we attach to our possessions, or how these objects become symbols in the narrative of our lives.

• "The Silence Between Conversations"

  Reflect on the pauses and silences in everyday conversations and what they reveal about human connection, emotion, or the unspoken thoughts that shape our interactions. Delve into how these moments can carry as much weight as words.
